Athlon FX-57 Super Cooled Overclocking

The crew over at Mad Shrimps have taken an Athlon FX-57 and overclocked it using dry ice and phase change cooling (separately) to determine which method produces the best results.

So what do you do a warm pre-summer day in June? Get out the dry ice of course. I already had a modified phase change cooling but was interested to see what a few blocks of dry ice could accomplish. I bought an AMD FX-57 (2.8Ghz) for a good price with the aim to overclock it as far as possible.
