Overcooling?

[♥Diana♥]

No such thing as over cooling

[[MPGH]Doc]

I wish some of the people in this thread would read Alen's and Iverson's replies.

If you want a computer with nitrogen as its coolant go visit the LHC

[Kirigaya Kazuto]

No.
If that could happen, you wouldn't be able to turn off your pc.

I idle at 27c


@OP there is a thing called minimum operating temperature for electronics, but that mostly has to do with battery powered devices, although theoretically i think it is possible to lower the temperature too much on a PC, to the point where electricity isn't able to pass through components because there are no moving atoms (absolute zero)

That's almost impossible.
If im not wrong that's like -1,000 or more C Degrees.

what i meant was if you poured liquid nitrogen on a cpu put it back onto the motherboard anturn the system on would it work?

Yes it would still work.

We'll never reach true absolute zero and I thought conductivity rose with lowering temperatures?

-273.15°C, common knowledge.

Heard of LN and DICE cooling?

yes i have heard of it but its controlled in small amounts, im talking about 50ml's worth of liquid nitrogen being poured onto the cpu

It's on/in the heatsink constantly, unless you're talking about saving ln since it can get pricey for constant use

[parag0nx9]

dont have liquid coolin so cant really say much.

and is it worth getting?

[Alen]

Unless you're a die hard oc enthusiast, no.

[Stevenom]

Unless you're a die hard oc enthusiast, no.

Would you do it if you were super rich and if anything goes wrong you can replace it and build a new computer?

[parag0nx9]

mmm i can get employee discount at where i work the fluid is like $40 wow so screw that i have better things to spend my money on.

I'm neither super rich nor do things often go wrong and I'm using LC

LC isn't that "extreme" tbh, it's just a bit more fancy than air cooling.

Home made ftw. The cost skyrockets when you need to by quality waterblocks (luckily I kinda know the guy that runs EK, so I got it a tad cheaper )

@Alen
Conductivity does increase but at Absolute Zero it won't be able to conduct
