With air you'll only be able to run 2.3-2.6GHz depending on the chip, 2.4-2.7GHz with water cooling. 2.6-3.1GHz with Freon cooling. For Pentium 4's you'll generally get 3.2-3.5GHz with air, 3.3-3.6GHz on water and 3.8-4.1GHz with freon. Any more and they'll need Dry ice or liquid nitrogen, both of those are temporary. Will last maybe 15 minutes, tops, unless you keep reloading with Ln2 or Dry ice... All of these figures are using the best board, high voltages, top quality air/water/freon.
