Hey guys,

So I thought I would step up from the usual air and watercooling and go with a more extreme form of cooling, dry ice. The advantage of dry ice is it's pretty cheap here on the Sunshine Coast, and fairly easy to source. So before I go LN2, this is a pretty good start.

Anyway, I purchased a retail E5200 for this overclocking run, and to my surprise it was a fairly good chip. 1.005 VID, doing 3.2-3.4GHZ on 1.2v on vCore.

Pot supplied by Duniek. Erasers purchased from jovian.com.au and the rest has been bought from various supermarkets and hardware stores.

So without any further a due, here are the pics;
