dang...and i thought my 4.3 was high lol

Yup, good ole Fugger. That screeny is a little old. Him and another guy from Japan have since reached about 6.3ghz. Not stable by any means, but it booted into Windows long enough for a screenshot. Those guys are just absolutely crazy. Plus, the cost of a Cascade system is in the thousands of dollars, not to mention the power drain is ENORMOUS! He told me that if he were to run the Cascade 24/7 his electric bill would go up by HUNDREDS of dollars

I am still learning about HVAC, so I can't explain in further detail, but basically it uses the first compressor to help cool the second compressor, which contains a different gas, such as R507, which in turn cools the 3rd compressor that contains yet another gas(or 2), like R1150. That is by no means a scientific explanation, but it should get the point across. Using a Cascade, people have reached temps as low as -150 or so. For more info, check out the Phase Change section @ XtremeSystems.org. Here is a pic that illustrates what I am talking about.

Edit: FYI, the pic below is a 2 stage Cascade system. 3 stages are not uncommon. It just takes the whole principal of a Direct Die cooler and takes it to another level, well, a different universe actually

If I were rich...I'd buy a plot of land and hire a bunch of random people, equip them with guns and such, and play a real life Unreal Tournament...who needs computers?
