EXTREME Cooling - Page 3

Blow torch!? They sell Phase change units and dry ice, not blow torch needed. To do dry ice, you just need a bucket mounted CPU that you can drop dry ice and water into. To do a phase change unit, you just need to buy one designed for a computer, or a fish tank, like the Haliea ones.

You could even do this, if you have a spare air conditioner.

If you want a world record, though; you probably need something like liquid nitrogen.

You may need a blowtorch for CPUs that has terrible CB or CBB issues

I admire your honesty,sir!

This is a good question. Call me pessimistic, but judging by your questions, I'm assuming you don't have much experience with high end overclocking. If I were you, I'd work my way up, do some air or watercooling before diving straight into a LN2 setup... You could very well end up spending a lot of money and losing out on a lot of money because of failed components...

But, if you want to go full bore into this project, more power to you and I wish you luck. It would be pretty sweet to see 9GHz!

Just my 2 cents.

The more you give cold to the CPU the more it scales. It's not only about the cold though you need to get a good batch of
CPUs, good benching RAM, high quality mobo and LN2.

on AMD?

you're gonna kill lots of hardware. sure hope you got lots of $$$
2.2v on Intel or AMD is a ton of voltage and usually pretty hot, Dice is not gonna work to well

8.7ghz actually http://hwbot.org/submission/2294034_andreyang_cpu_frequency_fx_8150_8709_mhz You probably won't beat it for a few different reasons, as I will point out below.
You will need an 8150 or 8120, but most likely 8150. The chip will need to be an early manufacture date (which are getting hard to find now days), as it is apparent that all the later ones do not clock as high. No other BD chips have the potential for 8+ it seems.
I doubt you could get it to close to 8.2ghz, and I'm saying that because of the very few amount of chips that have.
Pure speculation. The current BD can't clock very good, so I wouldn't get your hopes up for a architecture refresh, as they will probably be using the same manufacturing techniques as the current BD chips.
If you're getting into extreme overclocking, and going for records, you can't let your hardware manufacture bias get in the way. Some boards are just better than others.
He had 2gb of corsair. You can't really copy settings like that since lots of things can be different, like IMC capabilities, board capabilities, ram IC capabilities (even between identical chips).
When running high volts on BD chips, stability comes from it being cold. Also, cold stops the high volts from kill the chip. Stability and cold go together.
I'll let you find that out for yourself . It would be boring for me to just tell you, given your preconceived notions.
It is a system that uses refrigerant liquid/gases to cool the chips via the Carnot thermodynamic cycle. Similar to HVAC equipment, but much colder. Cascades systems typically go to about -120C or so, but there are some that do -140C. They cannot keep up with LN2, they just aren't cold enough.
