crazy japanese... 2.4ghz -> 4.1ghz


those liquid nitrogen cooled O/C's are just exercises in futility, means nothing - cant use these for more
than a few minutes before LN2 evaporates
 
i can personally make wcpuid say anything. how fast do you want to go?

lol - im serious anyone can easily fake a screenshot in seconds if not minutes.
 
Now how in the world do they get Liquid Nitrogen ? I mean, i dont think its easy to get LN2. Plus storage is another issue. Plus all those bills for LN2 and precautions.

will US govt allow to store LN2 inside my apartment for me to run my 1.6a @ 3.2 ? 😉



 
Gsethi, I dont know the US policy for buying n storage of LN2. But I know that U can buy a small ammount without any problem.
BTW, how long can U leave the system running with a gallon of LN2?

Its not that hard to get. Mold shops use it to release press fit pins.
It comes in a special walled metal container. Some of the japanese sites even
sell the ladles and special gloves. Its not something to toy with - one drop in your eye and you could go blind.
Theres no law against having it in your house.

We used to drop an orange in it, pull it out with tongs and drop it on floor - shattered like glass.
(Of course, the same thing goes for your finger if you dip it)
 
It is not hard at all to get LN2. It actually is used for many beauty products. If you ever get a wart or something similar, doctors use LN2 to freeze the wart off. Some woman actually apply it to there faces is very small amounts (dont ask me why I have no idea why). But you can get it fairly easily because it is not explosive, on the other hand if you want LOX or LH2 that would be extremely hard to get because they are very explosive. The metal walled container your talking about is called a dewar. But schools get it to do all sorts of experiments (just like the orange).

lol, seems like dangerous stuff to me.....i remember, once in junior college in chem class, teacher got some of it in a special container..........you had to wear some special protective gloves, safety glasses and do some experiments with it............ofcourse i stayed far away from it because i love my hand so much 😉.
i think that professor warned us not to contact with it even with gloves for exstensive periods of time though......

are these Japs using "metal" fingers or something to use their system ? Now, how in the hell do you install a processor with wearing those thick gloves ?

Super Crazy Japs.........they probably spent more money on the cooling system than the cost of their whole system.

 

its a geek macho thing with these guys - if they overclock higher than anyone using exotic fuming liquids - it
equates with the large penis that they wish they had

Edit: Post changed to keep KraziKid happy.
 
Hey Bozo No. 1, LN2 is not a chemical its a Molecule of 2 Nitrogen atoms. No. 2, LN2 is not dangerous only if you act like an idiot and not wear gloves, then it will freeze something off. But in Nature LN2 is not dangerous. It is not explosive, volatile, or harmful if you inhale it.
 
KraziKid:

This is just a friendly little chat on OC CPU's. LN2 is PERCEIVED as dangerous by those not in know.

I sincerely apologize for calling it a "chemical", and I will never do it again.










 
Liquid nitrogen isn't that bad or dangerous of a substance. It's also very cheap. (Air is 75+% Nitrogen so it's very easy to compress air then distill it into nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) I used liquid nitrogen almost every day a few years ago when I was doing research. We used liquid nitrogen and solid acetone (Obtained by pouring acetone into liquid nitrogen) to cool off some reactions. The dewar flasks do a good job of keeping the nitrogen liquid. lol. But you can get a large amount (I'm talking multiple liters here) for less than a hundred bucks. I think at work a few weeks ago we ordered a large vat of the stuff for only 75 bucks. (This was a huge vat that probably holds forty or fifty gallons.)

Liquid nitrogen won't hurt you unless it contacts your skin for a long period of time. If you took some from a dewar and just poured it over your hand, it would probably boil off before it could do too much damage. (Although I'll admit, it does start to sting after a short period of time.) So the only problems with it are that it causes all of the water in the air around it to condense due to the intense cold, and if you don't have a well ventilated room a liquid N2 spill could asphyxiate you by replacing the oxygen in the air.
 
I remember having a doctor use some to remove a wart on my hand. He pulled the giant cotton swab out of the canister and used his bare fingers to pull it into a point. Then he applied it to the wart and the surrounding skin and made me just hold my hand there. It hurt like the blazes! I remember later reading Dune with the hand-in-the-box test scene and thinking that I already did that.
 
The number one consumer of Liquid Nitrogen is McDonalds. They use it to falsh freeze their hamburgers and stuff.

These crazy overclocks are useful for getting a feel for how high a chip architecture will scale.
