yeah, have you guys seen in the movies where they freeze something with this and then shatter it(like a jacket)? i wonder if that would happen to a processor or motherboard?

you certainly will not break 20k in 05 with that setup man. people cant do it with the same cards and the fx-60. here you go <--- highest score so far. keep in mind, the guy didnt fry his system

fx-60 @ 3.560 ghz and the gtx's @ 779mhz core, 2160mhz memory

let me be the first to bust my gut here.

$5K won't last you 4 years. In all actuallity any amount of money won't last you 4 years. In 4 years, new technology and hardware will be developed, that will easily trump our current systems. Unless money can take you into the future and get you new technology and hardware, I'd advise looking at maybe 1 year max for a "top of the line system", after that, it will only be 2nd or 3rd best.

true, and in 4 years, amd will have quad core socket m2 cpu's that can probably score 6k in 05 by themselves...

20K with those settings isn't going to happen, and its not going to last 4 years or even close to that. When your walking out of the store they are already bringing newer things out on to the shelves lol. By the way people at CompUSA really don't know that much about anything. I went to them and asked about an Opteron and this is what i got . . .

a blank stare.

You do realize that running liquid nitrogen is a temporary cooling solution, right? You can't run it daily on LN, it's jsut too much work. Your PC will also die alot faster, considering all the stress you're putting on the other components. These guys that do these projects, do it for a short period, then start on other ideas.

I bet that $5000 computer you cant beat 20,000 3dmark05 points with it

Dont just build for 3dmarks. Its pointless, especialy because you are NOT going to get your goal.

If you want to spend $5000 then sure, but dont just do it to break world records...

Motoxrdude · 01-26-2006, 02:11 AM

Yea i wouldnt go for nitrogen. I would just gow with liguid cooling, but double everything. Dual pumps, 2-5 radiators. Maybe even invest in getting a mini refrigerator to put the radiators in.
