So, let me get this straight: it's saying that the comp ran better when it was cooler? I thought they ran about the same at any reasonable temp.

I would guess that it sounds like a refrigerator........

Thing looks big enough - might need it's own stall in the garage. :D

Hmmmm, I thought thought the FSB on the AMD 2700 was 333 not 166...

Also, that cold of a temp would scare me. I don't WANT my CPU running that cold. :)

Could a really cold temp damage the CPU? Something tells me no since heat is what ultimately fries it.

That has to be the worst written article I have ever seen. Not a bad bit of kit though, for serious OC's.

The FSB is 166, the DDR makes it 333 at the processor.
