Liquid Nitrogen Cooling

I have heard about liquid nitrogen cooling and i know that liquid nitrogen is very very cold, but i forgot about overclocking....

These guys did a little experiment, its pretty sweet. It is in a different language but it translates at the bottom of the page, and there are some good pictures. I have heard people getting 2.6 processors up to like 3.2 but i find their results astonishing. They got their 2.2ghz up to 3.6 o/c'd.

Check this out!!!

mmm that's quite old (that page). LN2 has been around for quite a while as well. specially when it says the world record is 3.6 something ghz. :bah: they've got 3.8s out now :D

 

i believe the world record was on THG and it was around 5.5ghz or something...unless i missed somethin that came out recently.

 

but yea....like -92c load mmhmmm

Why use LN2 when you can use phase change systems? Less mess.

Btw, the THG thing is pretty much a hoax.

Because LN2 can still hit lower load temps and is cheaper to get, even thoguh the container that goes on the CPU is pretty pricey.

only mad scientists use LN2... and it would cost more than phase change after like a week of usage... also you'd need some kinda 24 hour top-up system for LN2 and a TANKER of LN2 for long-term usage... oh and maybe a LN2 machine... they're kinda pricey ;)
