Every overclocker's dream!

Those vcores are pretty high. How can they get them than high? Is it because they just got a good cpu or is it due to the cooling?
 
Think of how expensive it would be to have a cooling system like liquid nitrogen! Constantly having to refill and whatnot. You'd have to be rich to be able to afford something like that! I, unfortunately, am not...🙁
 
Simply, you don't... noone keeps a system cooled by LN2 running for more than the time it takes to boot up and take a SS of wincpuid/cpu-z/etc...

It's not a matter of cost, but rather a matter of condensation forming around the components...
 
It's just too much of a hassle to maintain a system with LN cooling. I think these people just do it for the hell of it. Not because they want a little more fps in a game or more processing power for encoding video. Oh well...I am happy with my air-cooling! (Gonna get a Zalman soon 🙂)
 
LN2 is actually not very expensive. Its probably the cheapest lab material you can get. Especially when they are probably running their computers for at most 5-10 minutes. Now, Id be impressed if they used Liquid Helium.... That stuff is well over 10x the price, and is the best cooling liquid available. The temps are about 2-5 degrees above absolute zero and physicists have been able to obtain 0.25 Kelvin with this stuff.
 
Sorry something about using LN2 and the fear of being near it should it spring a leak doesnt interest me.

Does anyone know what would happen to you should you come into contact with LN2? Ouch.

Where would one go to buy LN2? Surely not Wal-Mart.

I will stick to AIR as its cheaper for now. Maybe AntiFreeze or Blue Goo but thats the limit for me.

You know dermatologists use liquid nitrogen to burn off things like warts... I had a couple of bumps on my hand (not sure what they were), but my dermatologist sprayed a TINY bit with a very concentrated nozzle onto those bumps and boom! Dead skin. They fell off a day or so later with small bisters around the area for another week. Kinda nasty post, but I figured I'd share my personal experience with what would equal one mL of liquid nitrogen on my skin. Not fun stuff in large doses.
