Sampsa and Ville already broke their own record by overclocking the same setup to over 1GHz for both the GPU and memory. See pictures over at Muropaketti.

It's been done so many times. (Though the first one is still the best)

I think you are referring to this little project (contains some nice photos), the substance was however nitrogen, not helium.

finland leads the world in overclocking

and venezuela leads the world in underclocking? ;-P

This thing is faster. English summary at the bottom.

on the same site!

This guy is violating every safety rule in the book dealing with Liquid Nitrogen. Click Here to see what I mean. Does he value his hand at all? Don't attempt this at home kids.

I don't know about you, but this (9th image from the top) sure looks like frost to me.

Darwin award candidate, surely?

What's so special about him getting 20372 by overclocking his P4 to 3916 MHz?

The article has a picture showing that someone got 21504 by overclocking to 3998 MHz -- nine days earlier.

Kind of sad that my out-of-the-box Dual-GHz G4 pulls 6.7 gigaflops on a bad day, huh? (/gloat)

No, really it feels good to troll every now and a lifetime ;-)

I did a quick translation from Finnish of the Muropaketti article:

There are probably more than enough articles about the Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, so standing out from the crowd with some LN2 overclocking tests is a good thing.

For the tests, we ordered 10 litres of liquid nitrogen from Porin Hitsauslaite Oy and Messer (well known for [his|its] good service) supplied a 20 litre tank at the same price.

As a test bed, an Asus P4T533-C with an i850E chipset (which had been found to be satisfactory) was used. Samsung PC800 RDRAM modules were used for memory. The motherboard had TurboPLL, Vcore and Vmem modifications, which are better documented here.

This was the first LN2 test with this processor, so we started off by trying to get a feel for how the CPU behaves at low temperatures and what sort of results to expect in the future. For this reason a PNY GeForce 4 MX 440 display adapter was used, which has been found to tolerate very high bus speeds. Later, we'll do some ATI Radeon 9700 Pro tests and try for a new 3DMark2001 record.

Below a series of pictures describing the events and some general pictures of the [assembly|system].

[lots of pictures]

The tests didn't start easy, even though the system did agree to start Windows XP at 3913MHz. The Pifast test didn't complete at all. After testing for a hour we started to get a grip on the situation. The CPU didn't tolerate really low temperatures. The tests started running noticeably better, when the bowl wasn't frozen solid.

[more pictures]

At the end of the first day of testing, I managed to run the Pifast test at 3917 MHz and reach a new record of 24.17 seconds.

Finally, I managed to complete the Superpi test at 3998 MHz at 39 seconds, which is the current record on the Superpi ranking list maintained by [the|some] Japanese.

I also ran the SiSoft Sandra CPU and Memory benchmark tests at 3920MHz (21 x 186MHz). The results speak for themselves.

Sandra's CPU tests says the bus speed is 145 MHz, because a TurboPLL coupling was used on the motherboard. A 18.43 MHz crystal was used, from which the correct bus speed can be derived:

(18,43MHz / 14,3MHz) * 145MHz = 186,55MHz

Finally, we checked how high we could go and still get the CPU to wake up.

[POST picture]

The system managed to POST at 4339 MHz with a bus speed of 206 MHz. Let's hope we break the magical 4 GHz boundary in our next test. In other words, there's more to come...

Looking at this image made me raise an eyebrow...

Is that the same Aga that makes stoves?

Yes we have done some testing with dryice. Check out the pictures:

Here is a picture of LN2-cooled GeForce 4 Ti4600 display adapter:

GeForce 4 GPU running at 409MHz and Memory 777MHz

We have modified TurboPLL-module on Asus P4T533-C motherboard which allows us to use higher front side bus.

Thanks to this module, when we set 145MHz from BIOS, the FSB is actually 186MHz.

You can check out the pictures of modified motherboard here.

If one looks at this picture at the same site you will see an even faster P4: 4029.78 MHz. However that one didn't run the piFast benchmark as fast.

Wow.

Damn, you were faster. :)
Here's that english summary from muropaketti:

English summary!

Today we cooled the new Intel Northwood 2,2GHz CPU with liquid nitrogen (LN2 -196C).

The motherboard used in the tests was Asus P4B266 based on the Intel 845 chipset (DDR). There was a voltage modification on the motherboard which allowed the VCore to be raised as high as we needed. The memory module was Crucial PC2100 128MB and memory settings were the fastest possible (CAS 2 2-2-5).

We used a copper bowl on top of the CPU and poured some LN2 into it. It took a while until the CPU temperature started to drop and when it was cold enough, we started the test.

First test was run at 3300MHz (FSB 150MHz) and with no problem at all (VCore 1,9V). The next step was rather high but after raising Vcore to 2,05V Northwood worked stable at 3520MHz (FSB 160MHz). We went on with the tests and finally hit the limit.

We were able to boot to Windows 2000 when the CPU clock frequency was 3675MHz (FSB 167MHz) but we couldn't run any benchmark programs. The highest STABLE CPU clock frequency we were able to reach was 3630MHz (FSB 165MHz). At 3650MHz we were able to run heavy benchmark programs such as SuperPi and Pifast successfully although the VCore was quite high (2,12V). It seems that Pentium 4 can handle it without any conflicts.

Check out the pictures above

I think the 3675MHz Wcpuid-shot we were able to get can be considered as the overclocking world record at this moment (17/01/2002), but I'm pretty sure the Japanese will try to beat it as soon as possible :-)

BTW, Quake 3 Arena was quite fun to play when the CPU was running at 3500MHz! o_O

And one finnish hw-site has already overclocked 2.2Ghz to 3.675GHz

Are at it too.

Here you can see they've got it to boot at 3.674GHz. The page is in Finnish (I assume), but there's some English text at the bottom too.
