Travis you forgot to mention step 0. POUR LIQUID NITROGEN OVER EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Personally, I've found dipping my underwear in a vat of LN2 increases my over clock efficiency by 12.7%

[V2-V3]

The key is to keep the flux capacitor from overheating and with out cold bugging....

[Hpnotiq]

It all depends on how much voltage you push to the flux capacitor, I found 1.21 Giggawatts to be money.

[V2-V3]

With Liquid Nitrogen Im using about 1.9 Giggawatts and about -188c on the flux capacitor. On stock air your Giggawats are perfect. For after market air or water cooling you will need to give her more power.
