Hey everyone. I just saw a YouTube video about a CPU being overclocked to 5 Ghz with liquid nitrogen, and it made me think about something.
"If we could maintain perfect cooling in a system, with an infinite wattage PSU and a motherboard that could handle it, what would be the highest overclock possible? Would the transistors get pushed too far and fail? Could every other component become a bottleneck because the CPU needed so much power?"

If only? A hypothetical question would need a hypothetical response.
