I've read some crazy ★■◆● before about people using Liquid Nitrogen for insane overclocking. But I've never seen it done before, until now. Every thing looks like it checks out ok, so this could be for real.

And no this cpu won't blow a hole through the table.

Google video

cool!

damn that's neat

extremely cool

I wonder what made him think that up

Neato! but the guy uses WAY too much heatsink compund. gdam!

I wonder how many FPS he gets in D3.

That's nothing... I got my 800MHz Athlon running at 801MHz.

Amateurs.

But seriously... game freaks and druggies are the most creative people I've ever seen.

Two years old news

thats the Extreme OC guy isnt it?


phase change cooling? holds the world record on this overclock doesnt he?

Can processors actually *survive* temperatures that cold? I found that amazing that it could withstand so much cold and still function.

Easily. They actually run the best that way, believe it or not.

MMM thermal induced superconducting. Not very efficient or practical but cool

I would of thought the LN would have made the metal super brittle. Just like putting LN on a padlock and then hitting the lock with a hammer to shatter it. Better than boltcutters eh?

yes... but no where near as practical... like this cooling method.

actually, you would probably have to submerg the lock for a minute or so. Otherwise, the metal wouldn't be brought to temp internally.

copper is a great thermal conductor Duper

If you heat up a small section of copper pipe with an oxytorch, the entire section of pipe will glow red hot at once, not just where the flame is. That's how well it conducts heat.

you wouldn't have had to submerge the block, the heat/cold will move through it in mere milliseconds.

Bust locks? Freezie spray?

yeah didn't you read or see fightclub? they spray a canister of Freyon into a lock and then tap it with a hammer to shatter it.

you can use a similar technique to remove those security ink-packs from stolen clothing without any ink spilling anywhere (since it's frozen solid)

yeah ... it's sad that we know these sorts of things...

speaking of fight club... you read any of chuck palahnuik's other stuff? i just finished haunted ... which is great... there are a couple of projects he has for movies of other movies (like invisible monster)...

i havn't read any of his other stuff, but i constantly hear good things about it. So i keep an eye out if i'm in a bookstore and have some cash on hand (both rare occurences).
