Closed Liquid Nitrogen Loop?

I found a company called Stirling Cryogenics. Apparently they make closed liquid nitrogen loops for several different industries and uses. 

 

The systems that most caught my eye are the two stage SPC-1T and SPC-4T that can effectively remove 20 to 800 watts of heat at temperatures from 15K to 40K.

 

My thoughts are, would anybody think that it would be practical to use as a CPU or even a GPU cooling solution. If not what about, maybe, overclockers? It would allow them to not waste the amount of nitrogen that they do.

 

Any input and thoughts, or am I completely out of plausibility?

for industrial its a really cool idea( pun intended), for personal use no. 

Honestly I have no idea how large the system is, I figured I share it though to give some food for thought.

 

From your perspective, why do you think so? (If it is a practical size)

do research on how big of a system it is, how much power it takes and practically of cooling a 35-150 watt cpu with liquid hydrogen.

Looks great for extreme overclocking.

Unfortunately spending a few hundred thousand dollars on a machine the size of a room for overclocking isn't really a good idea.

Especially since you only overclock for short amounts of time, you don't leave a CPU at 1.8v for regular daily use, so buying a tank of nitrogen is a better solution.

So basically a giant water chiller, where the water is nitrogen so it won't turn into a solid at that low of temperature.

 

Eh, I'd probably just use phase change directly on the chip if I wanted 24/7 sub zero.

That's a great point lol.

Haha, didn't even think about that!

That might put it a little out of reach. Would be neat to see a Holy S@&$ episode trying it though, but that may just be me.

Well the systems I actually pointed out can be phase change systems, but instead of typical refrigerant, it's liquid nitrogen.
