wytiwx - Celeron D 347 @ 8635.5MHz - 8635.54 MHz CPU Frequency

Holy shit! If LGA775 still scale 100MHz per -10C, this one might even break 9 GHz on LHe -
TAGG - Athlon 64 3500+ (Venice) @ 3049MHz - 27sec 687ms SuperPi - 1M

But there was one stick almost doing #5 at 330 2-2-2-5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECv_9oQ5iiU and at least three others did 32M at 280 2-2-2-5 on air -

Did you get to freeze my ex-Kingstons or ex-Corsair yet? -
If you care about career you get a semidecent i9-1696900KSF from Der8pack and put it under LN2 along with any aircooled GPU among the hundreds that give 50+ points for 01 and AM3. Just remember not to go all out, so that next year you can upload a better score and get your points again. Not that many people care about career, so this is still a feasible alleyway. If you care about hardware masters, volume is the name of the game. With all the exotic variations of CPUs and GPUs (especially ones that people pull out of their ass to have a category just for themselves) you not run out of models to bench in a lifetime, so neither binning nor even a single stage (let alone LN2) will be a cost/time-feasible way of getting more hardware points.

you bench 3 shitty examples of pretty much any LGA775 model in a random board with random RAM on air for 3€, and you get more points than people who spend decades and thousands of € binning the more competitive models

Could this perhaps be a good moment to pause and consider having all the exotic categoriy splits in the first place? We now have 3 types of cores per CPU, each available in pretty much single digit increments up to 16. And this will only get worse over time. As a spectator, I don't give a rat's ass about, say, 14900K benched as 8P. It's sold as a 24c CPU, it's supposed to be used as a 24c CPU, ffs.

Game over in yet another category -

Why not use a conventional Gigabyte? And why not use Hypers at 7-8-6-x ?
