Liquid Nitrogen Cooling?

[Smexy Potato]

Recently I've been thinking of a liquid nitrogen cooled PC. Since I've learned that this is possible, I've been researching and trying to find out how this is done. The main reason for posting this here is to see if anyone has done this or has any more information on this subject. 

 

The thing that really got me interested was that the CPU can actually get too cold, making overclocking mandatory. Overclocking while doing this is also very rewarding. I've read that one can double the original clock speed of their CPU by doing this. I'd like to see Linus Tech Tips do a video explaining or even trying this method. I'd also like for anyone with more information on this topic to leave a comment.

 

Below is a video from Corsair discussing liquid nitrogen cooling

Unless you plan on breaking some benchmarking results, don't do it. It's pretty pointless for the average user. Get a 212 EVO. Everyone loves a 212 Evo.

Why bother?

No one can or will use it on a daily basis.

It really depends if you have won the silicon lottery. 

Even with LN2, you won't be able to pass water cooling overclocks.

But, you can get twice the performance for a couple of seconds

I know nobody will ever use this daily. I'd just like to see proper benchmarks with it.

If you're willing to throw in the cash, then go for it. However, unless you got the legendary 1% of the silicon lottery, you'll need butt-tonne of skill and knowledge in overclocking your parts to a reasonable level in the benchmarking world.

I'm definitely going to try it when I feel I have enough knowledge of PC's and overclocking. If I ever have the money at that point, I'll try it and post the results somewhere, and maybe make the prestigious #1 slot on 3DMark.

 

I suppose if I ever do try this, I'll need to get very lucky with the CPU's quality and performance, and I'll probably need an educated chemist to actually handle the liquid nitrogen, to make sure I don't freeze my fingers together. Again though, it is just an idea.
