An overclock to 5Ghz at a time when such a goal was unimaginable, Tom's Hardware produced this clip and ever since its factualness has been much debated. They apparently use a Pentium 4 with ASUS P4C800-E, MSI GeForce FX5950 Ultra, Corsair DDR550 Pro, Liquid Nitrogen for the CPU and an Asetek Vapochill for the Northbridge. But whether or not it actually ever happened it still is a cool movie well worth watching!

  • Was that thermal paste enough on cpu to transfer the heat from cpu to heatsink?.

  • Yes.

  • wow nice work there. hmm...i think it would be possible for me to overclock my processor to 5Ghz, because mines 3.2Ghz (Pentium 4). nice job but. 5/5

  • I have a 3.4 and it struggles to get 3.8 or even 4...

  • White compound for that??

    I would demend the compound to be at least 50% pure silver.

  • This is the p4 we're talking about here. The last steppings could hit 7 or so on ln2, so it's no surprise that THG was hitting 5...in fact, when this video was filmed, people over at extremesystems were hitting 6

  • uhmmmm....

  • Probably will never get 10Ghz, we are looking more at a multi-core future.

  • Sure does, my server room often hits 40+ deg C, when I forget to leave the cooling on :)

  • Publicity

  • hahaha you have no idea what you are talking about.

    also take your "liquid oxygen" and replace it with Liquid Nitrogen next time.

  • noob u need to be professionel to do this
