I'm currently benching my new laptop.  Clevo P570WM with 4930K and Dual 780m's.  A few laptop WR's with John's help.  No extreme cooling, just the winter cold of the NE ;)

Looking Good Q56 ,
 
I'm just using Room Temp Water with an Old i7 975 at 4.039GHz on my 762 in 4-Way SLI (Four 560Ti Classified 448 core's at Stock settings).
It is good enough for some 24/7 Fun at a MUCH Cheaper price than spending another $5K+ on a Dark X79/3960K-4960K/4 Titans + Waterblocks/RAM etc...., and even then I would STILL Not be able to "Compete" without going to LN2, which as I have said in the past, I can't see myself using that type of cooling for a 24/7 High End Benching/Gaming System.
 
Oh, and did I mention not having to pay High Electric Bills like I did with My 2012 Bench Rig? LOL!

Yeah in my chiller days the wife always wondered why the electric bills were $350 a month. Lol

LOL Q56.
 
Funny, a few weeks ago when it got kinda chilly (I thought it was fine, other half said it was FREEZING) told me she missed my 8800 Ultra's in winter.  Said it kept that side of the house warm, if she got cold, she'd go stand by it for a few minutes. (no central heat).
 
While, right now I won't be getting it MUCH colder, I am working on some upgrades, and I will try to get competitive with scores on AMBIENT based cooling.  Been many years since I cooled subzero, and this thread, especially being resurrected like this, makes me nostalgic.  I WANT TO FREEZE SOMETHING LOL!

While 4 way is awesome, aren't there also brackets for clocking with single or dual cards too?  Like drag racing, not everything is Top Fuel?  If so, 780 K|ngp|N edition or something like that and could make a solid run again for a lot less money that what you were mentioning above.

That is a True statement DaveB, But Just Like in Drag Racing, Once You have started running with everything "Loaded" (4-Way SLI) it is very difficult to "Lose a few cylinders" and go into a lower bracket and even when(If) I decided to purchase a Single Top-of-the-Line 780 edition for Benching, I GUARANTEE You I would shortly be asking myself......"I Wonder how much higher I could go with Two.....or Three.......or Four....and Then I could ALSO buy.......$$$$"!
 

 
Sometimes Old Habits are Hard to Break.............. Similar to when I Sold My 9 sec/140MPH Mustang Cobra Street/Strip Car to One of My Car Club Buddies because I wanted even MORE Speed! LOL!

HAH, very VERY true.  Once you have used 2-3-4 cards, its hard to go back, and once you have put your first 1071 blower on your BB stroker running alcohol, its hard to go back to a gas engine with a Kenne Bell that is actually streetable.
 
That does lead me to a question.... what did you replace your 9 second Stang with?

After I sold the Cobra, I Haven't Really found anything Else to replace it with that I could still drive to the Strip, Race it, and then drive home again without having to Tow it there on a trailer, Which is Ironically Almost the same Reason I don't go with LN2 on the CPU/GPU for a 24/7 Benching/Gaming Rig!

If you haven't found anything new, build from scratch.  Find a car you like and mod like crazy.  Then it is EXACTLY what you want the first time, no more, no less.

That is Exactly what I did with the Cobra when I bought it new in '04, But as You know when You sell a radical street/strip car, You NEVER get back what you put into it, so I'm just Saving Money/Cooling it and driving my '97 Mustang GT 'Vert Cruiser in the meantime and continuing to have some Fun with My PC Systems.
 
Speaking of which, I Just bought/installed an i7-980 six-core at a reasonable price and it is working Great at 4.5GHz on Just Room Temperature Cooling Water.
Dam!!....Now I'm starting to get that old urge back to drag out the Chiller again....., But I Must... Resist... the... Temptation...

Dooooo IIIIIIIT!
Must....... Get........... COLDER!
 
If I had a chiller I know id be clocking something.... more than I already do.
 
Also, maybe just start out lighter, see if it still has the same attraction, get the CPU to about 3-5c above ambient, push it farther.  No hassle of dew prep, but you would be one more step further.
