can't you keep a liquid nitrogen loop in a pc all the time

I am far from an expert but I was under the impression that you had to continually pour the liquid nitorgen over the core of the GPU to do these kinds of overclocks. So you really cant use the PC during the process because you need to be managing the LN2 and not playing Crysis 3. 

 

I could be way off though.

No. It evaporates. You're breathing it right now.

ok

A shame we can't lol

You could if you had a good compressor / heat exchanger loop that would recondensate the liquid nitrogen. It would take a lot of space and require a fair ton of power but it could be done. I can build one for you if you'd like.

And then theres me, with an OC'd 270 (+ nothing impressive) and a A6-6400K wich is really bottlenecking the 270

[Real_PhillBert]

Well, technically you could if you pressurized the crap out of it in your loop. You would need a hell of a loop but you could do it.

 

EDIT: I see that you have covered this while I was typing this post... Carry on

go ahead and start, and I'll just be over here, not having any money lol. I wonder what kind of performance you could get in game with that kind of setup, maybe max out 144hz screen to the point you have to turn vsync on?

He'd also require "water" blocks and rads that are rated for higher pressure, so pretty much everything would be custom except the piping which is pretty abundant (ex : A312 TP316 seamless 1/2'' #300 sch. 80)

omg. guyz.

 

This would be the ULTIMATE pc mod. If ever I'm rich someday, you know what to look for in the build log section.

Pretty sure the tubing and rubber orings in your blocks would harden and crack if you ran LN2 through it. Not to mention there are no blocks available that can handle the pressure.

The blocks would be easy, radiators would be tougher, but I doubt you would need a lot of radiator area with a LN2 loop, if any at all. Hmmm...

Just to be ballin as hell, you should do it with heavy wall quartz glass tubing. I wonder if you could dye liquid nitrogen..... Would there be that much pressure in the system? and I feel like you might run into problems where the system literally freezes up

Yea, you're right. Just the condenser part of the refrigeration loop would expel all the heat pretty easily. Water condensation would be a problem though. For sure.

I wouldn't dye a liquid in a refrigeration loop since it will either totally or partially vaporize at some point of the loop, leaving dye particles to clog piping slowly. But still nice to entertain the idea.

damn dat 970 is looking good....any one want to buy a 760?

[Real_PhillBert]

Good point.

 

I guess after all that, I will stick to air and water cooling

[Razzaa]

So far on air, not many are getting that far past 1300 core on the 970 according to Firestrike data. Only time will tell though.

Apparently High tech legion hit 1500 with the MSI Gaming 970 without adding voltage. The Gigabyte G1 comes with a factory boost of over 1300, so it should be able to crack 1400 without too much coaxing. Linus just reviewed the Strix 970 (go see the video) and they hit a sizable OC on that as well. 

 

It also could be that people don't want to push their brand new hardware too far right from the get-go.

[NateGSR117]

Dammmm! Maybe with the die shrink we can have 1500MHz base and 2000 boostMHz.

So they claim. I take that with a grain of salt at the moment, but considering the G1 comes with factory boost of over 1300, I would say it's not impossible.

I only just saw the article last night. If someone else already posted it, I couldn't find it. Also it's not THAT old - only a few days. If you've seen this news already and consider it "old", then maybe don't bother reading it and just move along? That's what I do.

I believe it. I have a cheap ass Zotac and it can hit over 1500 boost so far. It scored a 5862 graphics score in Firestrike Extreme.  http://www.3dmark.com/fs/2803974

These cards OC very well.
