LIQUID NITROGEN cooling

Lol

They actually got it to 5.25Ghz ;). However, it ran stable at 4700. This is an old article but I must sau it's definitely an interesting read.

JAN :D
 
Anyone who can get their hands on liquid nitrogen could clock a processor rediculusly high, a real feat would be to do it with air cooling (or even non refridgerated water)
 
How about overclocking a computer in space in the Earth shadow, where temperature is about 5°K?

Let's see who will guess why it won't work... :P
 
well you'd need a mightly long extension cord to get power to it...:D
seriously though, I'd think you'd be running into superconductor problems at that temperature, every ceramic resister will stop resisting
 
The power would come from solar panels (of course, they would be positioned outside the Earth shadow).
The semiconductor properties are preserved above a critical point at 4.2°K, so the cpu will be ok.
And to avoid superconducting, let's heat up the computer a little bit.

Thus so far so good. But why it still won't work?
 
Let's shield it. Spaceships have perfectly working computers on-board...

So what would be the problem?
 
all of this is so far fected it is almost stupid. why put a computer in space for fun and who in their right mind will spend billions of dollors to do it. And ploto let just not go there.
 
Does anyone know a way to get some liquid nitrogen??????????????

I go to my lab and fill up a dewar full of it.

Well, alluded to it in your atmosphere statement, but temperature is a property of matter, which space is fairly devoid of. A load of 50W (or whatever the CPU is pushing out) has no place to go other than to be radiated away. However, radiation is proportional to the temperature to the fourth power rather than the linear correlation for conduction and convection.
 
ooooooooooook

You're just lucky I didn't go statistical on your ass and break out the partition function and energy levels and all that :P
And probably Faaj will come up with the idea to put more fans on the CPU...

Hehe, but why wouldn't that work :rolleyes:?
