Default Newsletter error~ check your facts!

In the newsletter you quoted Tom's Hardware as saying
"Compared to overclocking with liquid hydrogen, where systems will only operate stably for a few minutes beyond 4000 MHz, our solution is perfectly suited for everyday use and can be used in a professional environment. This is proved in spectacular fashion by the 30 different benchmarks. "

I think if you were to attempt to overclock with liquid hydrogen you would be lucky if your neighborhood was stable for a few minutes
(Liquid hydrogen boils off as hydrogen which has a tendency to explode very easily when mixed with air between 6-93%)
I'm guessing they mean't was liquid Nitrogen (dangerous enough for other reasons)
That is what they wrote, But before you pass on their story, you owe it to your readers to question apparent errors like that!

While your statement is somewhat true I have to punch a huge hole in your statement.

Nasa cools their fastest super computer in liquid hydrogen, although I doublt tom's hardware would bother doing that.

why don't just wait a year, save your skull and be happy scoring around 1500 points less, either that or wait for the nv30 and score in the 20000 hopefully then a 4000mhz processor is worthless for the card will make up the difference
