I saw a graphics card recently that was overclocked past the normal limits - additional resistors (I think they were) were soldered to the board, the card was glazed with clear nail varnish then overclocked with liquid nitrogen.
People that overclock with modifications to the circuitry are really hard core overclockers, especially when it's with telephone numbers for the total price of the PC.

People that overclock with dry ice/liquid nitrogen are just nutters after a bigger e-penis (unless professionally, just to show off).

As well as all that work just for the last few mhz and maybe 10 or 20 more e-peen points...

But I guess it would be fun

(The overclocking, not the researching about the electrical requirements. I had to read this article twice before I could start to make sense of it haha)
