Was an interesting article, never actually heard of said link beforehand even.
Myself, am always interested how people push the limits on hardware, especially in respects to cooling. Myself, haven't done serious modding or overclocking, but still fascinates me. All the best to them, and hope they keep the good work up. Don't think they are yanking our collective chains, as would be pointless.
Am running an AM2 Athlon64 3200+ at mo, would really love to get a higher spec chip, though pocket serious lacking in dosh!!!
phase-change @3.5, Would of been intresting about a year ago, but by todays standerds it is pretty avg, most people on these forums now have more cpu power than that under a stock hsf lol. One intresting thing though, if amd can mature 90nm to this level what could they get with 65nm, drooling over 3.5ghz oc on k8l

your name says it, you are a newbie. The max for an x2 5200 is like 3 Ghz, so 3.5 is excellent, this on a conroe or the 65nm process could be even more promising.
I dont overclock, but it would seem to me that if you have to use an excessively expensive(phase change) or even dangerous (LN2) cooling system to achieve those kind of results, it puts the OC out of reach of the typical OCer.

That was 65nm wit liquid nitrogen, okay, this is 90 nm on a cpu that wasn't thought to go over 3Ghz no matter what!
Saw the 5Ghz project, read about that 8Ghz achievement, though you are correct in saying that due to dangers and especially the expenses of such cooling systems, those frequency ranges are outside the everyday modders capabilities. But still interesting nonetheless.
Like Rand was saying, this chip showed its beef where no beef was thought to exist, which is pretty cool. Nice when a piece of hardware everyone says can't do something does what afore-mentioned people said it couldn't! Hehehe!

Listen detective, first I have been a member here longer than you and unlike you i am not a fan of a company you sad little git, what i said is 100% true, my e6600 with a slight oc on stock cooler is faster that that cpu but because it is intel you get your nickers in a twist, GROW UP and try to see why this oc will not excite many people
I really hope amd take the lead again soon because the intel fanboys were not as hard-core as the amd boys we have now, I wish they would just realise thet we are enthusiasts and only care about the fastest stuff ffs
Not to get drwan into the amd or intel spat, was wondering what the ranks were for people on the forum? see there's "newbie", "nimble knuckle", "stranger", etc etc. How many freaking ranks are there?
Btw this rocks while working! Actually, in lieu of work! hehehe

I dont know mate, but I do know you cant form an opinion of a persons intellect by it or how many posts they have
Must be nice having a job were you can read forums lol
Hehehehe! Yeah, is nice, though must get cracking on workload, otherwise my commission suffers! Best thing is, I can do what I'm doing now and get my paycheck, don't have to work case files!
Well, a lot of the stuff I post is just questions on thoughts etc I have from time to time, as I'm interested in the mechanics of the stuff, but have a tenous grasp on physics, chemistry and electronics at best!
You seem to know your shizz, science-wise! I've been under impression that, while chilling cpu and rig with liquid nitrogen is all good, wouldnt it be better to basically immerse one's entire rig in the chilly stuff, including HDD, psu, etc, but excluding optical drives etc?
Reason why is the entire setup should become a superconductor, so it'll never lose any charge due to heat resistance, so couldn't one keep cranking up the voltages etc to what an actual power outlet can provide? also the hdd is airtight, so shouldn't be a problem, unless it interferes with the magnetic scribing etc.
This is just specualtion, not focussing on other issues like frequencies emitted, insulations against thereof, etc etc.
Sorry but it doesn´t work that way. The most entertaining thing you would see or better hear is your HDD dying since the gel inside it would freeze rock solid. It would be interesting to know if the casing would crack open. 8O Oh, and then there is a phlentora of electrical problems with your idea too, but i´m not going to go into details.
No, would really like to know, though please keep it simple, cos like i said to gallag, my grasp is tenuous. Ok, so cant include the HDD (btw what gel? cracked a few Hdds open, but didnt see any gel), but lets say no peripheries being immersed, just the mobo with gpu, etc, then sealed off.
what are the electrical problems? liquid nitrogen is non conductive, and if the entire rig is immersed, there wont be any condensation to damage the componentry with, and if its circulating then any deposits (though don't know what deposits there are in a -196 degree c enviroment are!) will be removed.
actually, i know what you mean, its hard to find a descent amd overclock these days (generally they are at max, 500mhz). you do realise that liquid nitrogen, hence being so cold would expand greatly at room temperature, so if the case were to be 100% sealed, it would probably explode
I was assuming that there would be dedicated ducting for both fume extraction and also for the pressure vent valves. My bad, I didn't state it in my posts. I do apologise.
You dudes are totally missing the point. This was about the OCZ phase change cooler. They just happened to test it out on an AMD cpu first. I for one have been looking forward to this low-budget cryo-cooler for a long time. If it ever becomes a reality there'll be alot of dudes here buying them. A sub-$300 phase change cooler? Hell yeah. Where's my credit card.
The OCZ phase change cooler is interesting.....Im interested to see how it is tuned by OCZ. Bottom line question for me: Can it handle QX6700 heatload? I suppose ill wait and see.......
