*overclocking my way to the moon*

Recently an AMD fanboy on these forums was claiming the 900 series wasn't that impressive, one reason being the limited overclocking potential due to aggressive factory overclocks leaving no headroom for more. Maybe I can find the post and call them on it.

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.

Personal incompetence is not a valid excuse.

 

4 days is pretty old, the original post also got tons of views and replies.

 

I'm not just going to "ignore it" because the news section is just getting filled with damn reposts of old news, all the time, you may be 4 days late, some people have been weeks or even months late...

[RuKiddin06]

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.

condensation a problem? well if your trying to go as as far as LN2 cool your pc, why not submerge all the cold parts in mineral oil? no more condensation. Though you would need to make a seal around where the tubes exit the oil so no condensation enter the oil.

It's obviously binned to hell.

I don't think there's any other way they could get those OCs.

Wow, someone take a dump in your corn flakes this morning? <_<  

 

I saw the article was a few days old, so I did a search to see if someone already posted it here and couldn't find anything. I thought people would find it interesting (which some did), so I posted it. I don't spend every waking minute on the internet, nor on my phone, looking for and reading every single article from every single website the moment they're posted. I have a life outside of the internet and technology, as do many of us on this forum. So sue me. 

 

You know what I do? I skim through the news section and if nothing looks interesting, I move on. There are more important things in life than to bother complaining about reposts in the news section of an internet forum and you complaining about it isn't going to make it stop.

Not bad !!

 

I might try that someday.

Or something i thought of, is to custom make a vacuum case (reminds me of vacuum tubes). the loop would have to be ridiculously beefy to be under pressure AND be in a vacuum, but if all the components were in a vacuum than there would be no water to condense on them.

 

on another note: is LN2 conductive?

Yay, overclocking like crazy GPUs!

Well first of all, there's no perfect vacuum so even if the case was airthight and beefy, there still would be air in the case, just at a lower pressure than ambient. So, there still would be condensation, just at a lower rate.

Secondly, if you only sucked the pressure out of the case in order to reach that vacuum without admitting air in, there wouldn't be any air changes so temperature insise would rise and rise which wouldn't be the best idea for components even if some are water (or ln2) cooled. So you would need to admit air in sonewhat and suck it out with a powerfull vacuum pump which means noise, dust sucked inside and a lesser vacuum meaning more condensation.

I don't think a vacuum case is a solution. I like your mineral oil + ln2 idea better.

Also have fun not having the case get crushed by the 10000+ pounds of atmospheric pressure that would usually subside with the presence of air. With a lack of air the 10000 pounds would squish your PC like a pancake.

yeah, the Mineral oil + LN2 is more feasible, BUT if the vacuum one was done correctly (any component that outputs heat would need to be cooled because as you said, less air means less heat transfer. on the note of the perfect vacuum however, it doesn't need to be a perfect vacuum, just enough so that the boiling point of water is below the air temp at that point no water can condense. other chemicals might, however, so to combat that the chamber would need to be filled with an inert gas.

 

WAIT. new idea, better than both. 

 

fill the chamber with an inert gas, (that won't condense at the LN2 temps, helium comes to mind) and preasurize the chamber a bit. the strain on the pressurized LN2 loop would be reduced some and al

I wasn't thinking of using a run of the mill PC case. it would need to be a modified vacuum chamber.

l the non LN2 cooled components would be cooled through the "air"

 

and obviously, this would be for someone who WANTS to do it, as it would almost definitely need regular maintenance.

yea that would be smart, if you got a way to keep the ln2 at it would probably be around 1000's of psi. if you could isolate the tubing enough you might not even have to worry about condensation. although even pumping the ln2 would be tricky. the one thing i can think of is have a cylinder over the cpu. if you just keep it highly compressed, you can keep it in its liquid form you also wont have to worry about it breaking any orings. also you dont have to worry about a pump, or any tubing. i dont know if it would work its just a idea i had.
