Best CPU for LN2

[Lord Nicoll]

I do enjoy taking things to the very extreme from which they are usually too worn to be used again, but I really wanna try my hand at LN2 cooling, and ergo what is the best CPU for it, obviously nothing from the last few years, 22nm and 14nm are just too fragile I think to push to the ungodly high 8GHz+, but I really wanna break 10Ghz as impossible as that sounds, and probably is for all but the best binned chip and the most experience overclock but hell, I like breaking things and the more stylish I break the better. I suspect the FX 9590 since they bin them from the factory but there are probably better ones out there, or are there?

Not gonna happen. 

 

If you want pure clockspeed, go with a am3 8 core, so a 8350 or 9590.

 

 

Old pentium 4's look like they should hit 8ghz+

I do have an old Pentium 4, 530 I think, although it's marked as an 550, I think dell did something phishy. I'm still gonna try, even if I have to go on Altium and design a whole board just for LN2 cooling (I'm surprised they don't make them really, there are very few) but then I'd have to write a bios and software is WAY outside of my comfort zone, even if I managed 9GHz that would be a start.

No one that i have ever heard of has hit 9hz, so your not gonna get 9ghz.

Well no one will with that attitude, just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it won't happen. I'd almost take that as a bet.

The moment that you realize your overclocking success requires you to pour liquid into a cup every minute or so to game is the most important.

 

That said, please don't.

These people have hundreds of cpus to find the perfrect one. They have have experence. Your not gonna beat them.

Just because you've jack shit for confidence doesn't mean I don't have any.

Well that's the point, it's about the max overclock, not the convenience, It would be a board on bare test bench, hardly a daily driver.
