Throw in a fridge compressor some liquid Nitrogen and away you go

I hope I got the terminolgy correct

500 and 5000 are differnt just so u know.

its just a red x here? does it work for u guys? edit - nvrmind, just got a new computer - settings were messed up.

pritty sweet. he didnt show if he preped the board tho. usually all those components have to be treated or they will cause condensation and then cause corrosion.  he probably didnt show it cause its a video?

That guy didn't have to prep the board that much because he used a clip mechanism...pretty unusual for LN2. Typically, there is more insulation as well as a backplate. But the reason for insulation isn't to prevent corrosive reactions, it's just to keep water off of the components.

That's actually a pretty old video. 7.5ghz or 7.2ghz is the record now if i remember correctly...

well ya... water... because water will create corrosion.

here is what i mean...

but overall that link is a new link to overclocking an amd FX57 with water and phase changing.  mabe not as extream as the above.

I really don't mean to be argumentative, but I don't see anywhere in that link that it says water is a source of corrosion. It says that condensation occurrs, which can be a problem, but condensation and corrosion are two very different things. Corrosion is permanent, condensation is just water vapor in the air that has been cooled and thus become denser, forming water droplets around the cold. Rust would be the result of slightly acidic water on a metal for a long period of time. Some metals like stainless steel won't corrode from water though and others (aluminum for example) are less corrosive than others (steel, iron) when in contact with water. However, distilled water (or pure, non-acidic and non-basic) is right in the middle on the pH scale, meaning that it will not corrode.

I have run dry ice on my DFI/AMD setup a couple of times and am getting ready to do it on my Intel setup. Condensation definately does occurr, but not corrosion.
