Clarkdale 6.9 GHz on Liquid N2

Talk about an impractical OC, fun none-the-less. Check the core voltage: 1.94V 😱

On Liquid LN2 Core i5 670 appears to scale well with voltage.

But with air cooling maybe other components under the heat spreader will be bottlenecks? In other words, the core might be fine but the temp of the memory controller/PCI-E might restrict further improvements in clock speed.
 
Well what can we say, when liquid nitrogen is positively warm when compared to the -273 C
of absolute zero. Let us repeat the experiment using a decent gas like hydrogen or Helium. *

* Nitrogen -195.79oC -210.00oC
* Oxygen -182.95oC -218.79oC
* Argon -185.85oC -189.35oC
* Carbon Dioxide -57oC -78oC
* Neon -246.08oC -248.59oC
* Helium -268.93oC -272.20oC
* Krypton -153.22oC -157.36oC
* Hydrogen -252.87oC -259.14oC
* Xenon -108.12oC -111.70oC

*Gives freezing and boiling points of various gasses.

Then riddle me the other thing, how many equal processors cooled by just room temp air would it take to duplicate the performance of just one supercooled processor?
 
When we first started using methanol in our race Car the Frost on the carb was a 1/4 " . Didn't take me long to fix that tho . lol.
 
My friend Bob who I trained. Came up with something really neat , That keeps Frost from forming on the outside when using LN2 . I can't go into detail as He hasn't decided what to do with it . But were both very interested in taking the little boy in avatar and turning him into a world class O/C . I been working on a feeder for the LN2 So as to keep him safe Bob worked on the Vessel,
