sticking an ice pack underneath my laptop, makes it out perform intel xeon 12c/24t

I stuck an ice pack under my laptop and ran cinebench, and it beat the intel Xeon X5650 at single core, and increased the performance of multi core by 600 pts, yay!

considering this is a third gen intel cpu, I am surprised I guess

What

 

You might be able to keep this performance if you just download and open throttlestop and set the power limit in tpl menu to 99999 on both short and long power limit, will def boost performance if you have power throttling issues but make sure it doesnt thermal throttle.

As big as an accomplish it is , it is a bad idea . The ice can create moisture on the laptop's motherboard and shortcicuit.

As long as you dont put the ice near a port or something you should be fine

If the Laptop has vents under it , it would also cause a problem.

Ok. It can also go in through the gap between the display and the laptop body. All I am saying is that it's a bad idea that could cause your laptop to die

Actually, no. The large temperature differential can cause water molecules in the air to condense on the components inside the laptop. It's not about the actual liquid from the ice itself.
