I'm doing a science project. My freezer is at -2 degrees farenheight. How long can I keep it in before condensation could fry it?

What are you doing to increase the clock speed? Or are you testing at the same frequency between sticking it in the freezer?

Without adjusting multi or overclocking you don't really gain anything, as per your previous thread about this:

I'm testing to see how the temperature of the CPU will effect the clock speed. To put it in experiment terms:
Independent Variable - CPU Temperature
Dependent Variable - Clock Speed

Your variables are completely opposite. Clock speed is the independent variable and temperature is the dependent variable.

If you overclock a CPU, you'll see the temperature increase as you increase voltage and clock speed.

I'd just issue a general warning of caution not to do what you're trying. Sounds like you're going to end up with busted parts and/or useless results.

unless this is a middle school project i really dont think your teacher is gonna be impressed with this one.to test the affects of temp on a cpu it has to be running.you also need to run a control,ie a cpu that isnt manipulated by temp.what you are proposing makes no sense nor are you paying a lot of attention to the scientific method.
