I got 2 Vantec Stealth 80mm case fans installed. One for intake and one for exhaust, and also overclocked my CPU to 1.2 GHZ, nothing wrong so far, just a system hang when I first saved and restarted my computer from the bIOS configuration.

It's going a lot faster, by the way.

I used awdhack and modbin to edit and test alternative bios models for nforce2 motherboards that did not unlock multipliers or give vcore options and unlock some other features before I hosted them.

i orded a bottle of liquid nitrogen, and overclocked a P4 to 8ghz, CPU temp was only -1oC ;D  i took it to 12ghz, and its there now, sitting, waiting for the next bottle of nitrogen, for more fun, its soo cool, it runs with 1gb ram too it flys!!!!!
When you realize that the total path a signal can travel at that speed is only .98 inches (same as a light emission), you will see that you are reaching a threshhold of impossibility, and that is only travel distance.  That does not take into account switching latency of chips on the processor.  The conductor path alone would approach or exceed that distance.  I definitely would repeat the process and submit it to the Guiness Book of World Records.  That one might be at the top for a very long time.  ;)

I saw something like this done on techTV, but not to that extent. And I too, think it's unlikely. Go ahead and videotape it, and poast the linky for us to see. I wanna see this, myself.
