Team Finland and Pete Hardman and Sami Makinen from AMD, use a combination of liquid nitrogen and liquid helium to reach CPU tempertures of -232 degrees Celsius in order to attain CPU clock speeds of 6.5GHz and smashing the world record for 3DMarks with 45,474 3DMarks in a test!

In other news I'd like to congratulate our Forum monger Chispy, with his system called "Zeus" he has broken a world record with PCMark05. His specs: Asus Rampage extreme II X58 - i7 965 @ 4608.5Mhz on SS - 4870x2 @ 877/1000Mhz on H2O - 2x 1GB G.Skill DDR3-2000 @ 953.5Mhz 8-8-8-18 - 4x 30GB OCZ Core Series V2 in Raid0 on Adaptec 2405 Raid Controller Card - PC Power & Cooling 1200w.
