Very powerful. How is it cooled and for how long will the chip survive ?

A good point cybercore.. Running at that speed the life of the cpu would be greatly reduced...

Totally agree...

Don't they say that a chip should last for 10yrs or so? Obviously running it faster or beyond the manufacturers spec is going to change the parameters some what..

Do you think such a fast setup with industrial grade air cooling would work so as to rig it up to air conditioning to warm the house...thus being more eco friendly?

AMD’s own Pete Hardman and Sami Makinen were able to overclock an AMD Phenom II to a blazing 6.5GHz, at an operating temperature of –230 degrees Celsius using liquid nitrogen and liquid helium as their cooling agents.

I got liquid nitrogen but don't know where to get liquid helium.
