-300 Degrees In A Dry Freezer!
 

Wow, just when I thought -200 was cold, check out this:

This freezer is DRY process, which turns the ice-cold Liquid Nitrogen into a gas inside the freezer, at a claimed temperature of -300!

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but if you could dry cool everything in your case, save the hard drive (which would be destroyed) then shouldn't you be able to get to, like, amazing overclocking speeds?

Should we take up a collection and try to buy one of these puppies, so the overclocking wizards can build a CPU inside it?

:)

If you could direct that -300c onto the cpu itself, you'd be in business for some nice clocks. Granted you're cpu doesnt suffer from cold boot and cold bugs.

I think if you could start up your CPU at "room temp", then gradually cool it, you might be OK. So many overclocking projects at very cool temps suffer from worry and dread over condensation issues.

Those issues "evaporate" (ha!) when using the dry process discussed there. Albeit used for a completely different reason (supercooling then heating a metallic surface to give it much better shelf life) I think overclockers could benefit from it.

I mean, this is like less than 100 degrees from Absolute Zero, isn't it?

As I stated in your other thread, those go down to -300F not C, so its like -149c.
It uses LN2 vapor to cool which does not get as cold as liquid. What makes LN2 and ther Refrigerants cold is when it evaporates or changes state from liquid to gas.

LHe goes down to about -250c or so and that is the coldest they have gotten.

I just got a call from the folks at "300below.com" They are putting together a price quote for me for a modularly designed unit on wheels that could house a CPU along with its slow cooling to -300 F using their dry cooling process.

The price will vary with quantity, but.... that is one giant leap for me!
