Liquid Nitrogen Beats Air Cooling (Again)
joe094287523459087 writes "some guys used liquid nitrogen cooling via a cardboard tube to get a 20,000 3D Mark score. you can see the frost forming on everything - wouldn't the moisture from the condensation kill the board?" The Muropaketti guys had already done this with their microprocessor. Apparently the next step was to speed up their graphics card to match. -
P4 2.80GHz Overclocked to 3.917GHz
vwbus writes "The guys at Muropaketti have taken a brand new Pentium 4 2.80GHz chip, bought a pint or so of liquid nitrogen and overclocked it to an astounding 3.917GHz. The Finns describe how they put together the system on their web page, and luckily there are a whole set of pictures which demonstrate exactly what they've done, so you don't need to understand Finnish to figure it out. The pictures show wisps of nitrogen evaporating from the jar sitting on top of the CPU, and they publish some SiSoft figures to demonstrate the kind of speeds they attained." The folks at Muropaketti have had a lot of practice with this cooling method. -
P4 2.2GHz Overclocked to 3.5GHz
GraveD sent linkage to a site explaining how a homemade nitrogen cooling system overclocked a P4 from 2.2Ghz to an incredible 3.5ghz. There's plenty of stuff to poke at over there. Update: 01/17 20:42 GMT by T : boaworm writes: "According to this paper, the Finnish geeks have successfully oveclocked a Pentium 4 to 3675 Mhz. They claim it is a new World Record, and it sure looks like they beaten another O/C'd Pentium 4 submitted earlier today on slashdot. (Summary in English in the end)."
