Tweaktown has overclocked the Athlon II X4 2.8GHz part with liquid nitrogen. Yes, a $130 processor is being pushed to the limits.

Not having to fight coldbugs (a temperature where components cease working), made for a most enjoyable change, while still giving plenty of scope to overclock. As you could see from the CPU-Z screenshot, we almost achieved a 100% overclock.
