Overcooling?

No such thing as over cooling
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
No.
If that could happen, you wouldn't be able to turn off your pc.

@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.

@iverson954360

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
dont have liquid coolin so cant really say much.

and is it worth getting?

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?
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
