No point going for nitro. Why we overclock is because we can't afford highest end CPUs like the X6800 2.93GHz which retails for around US$920. If I had a good motherboard such as Gigabyte 965P-DS3 or DS4 or DQ6, I would have easily had an "X6800" with even higher FSB because you need 430MHz (x4) FSB to reach 3GHz. Only good "overclockers'" motherboard can hit 500MHz. There are people who have hit 3.5GHz with 1.86GHz CPU (but with a minor voltage increment).You can't see any improvement with liquid nitrogen on E6300 (1.86GHz) CPU. This is because it's not the CPU that's holding you back from reaching more than 3.5GHz. It's the motherboard. For 3.5GHz, you need 3500/7=500MHz FSB. There aren't many motherboards that can reach that level. If you can find a motherboard, you can easily achieve 3.5GHz with a better air cooler than a stock cooler and don't even require water cooling. It's not even the RAM that's holding you back. You can always set a different RAM divider. I don't have the knowledge to explain this any further because I haven't done it. I will defnitely buy a new motherboard when the prices become low. Gigabyte 965P-DS3 retails for around 22000 at PC Parnter and it doesn't even have two 16x PCI-E slots for ATI Crossflash. nVidia SLI is not supported on Intel chipsets yet. DQ6 is the best motherboard and I'm sure it will cost a fortune.If what I have heard is true, water cooling doesn't give better thermal performance than a good air cooler. Only benefit is that you can have a 0dB noise level from the CPU cooler because there aren't a fan. But there are water coolers than have fans too.</blockquote>
