I did some playing with some EVGA Black Pearl kit, an LN2 pot and some liquid nitrogen a while back running an X6800 Conroe Extreme @ 5.2Ghz gives some awesome results (at -197 it didnt last very long though)

top post.
I was just about to ask for a rundown of current benchmark and monitoring tools, now that my box is 99% built (just have to get OS's to play nice!)

Although Sisoft Sandra and CPU-Z are missing as useful info tools

You should include ATI tray tools (http://www.guru3d.com/article/ati-tray-tools-). Found this to be the best for ATI cards. Been using it for my 2900gt and x1900cf.

(Now I'm on 9600gt so I use rivatuner)


Nice list btw.
