Ultimate Cooling System

OCGeek writes "This should be interesting for the overclockers as VR-Zone has an article up on building a cascade cooling system that cools chips down to -110C. The guide shows you the components that are required for the cascade cooling system such as the compressors, condensers, refrigerants, evaporators, heat exchangers, oil separators etc. and the tools you would need. It allows hot chip like Prescott to reach over 5.1Ghz and ATi Radeon 9800 XT card to reach over 660Mhz core."

Standard response to the "why bother" crowd.

2. It's kinda cool (literally0
3. It keeps overclockers off the streets

7. Because liquid nitrogen is "so yesterday".

8. The angst of our inability to get a date is so great that we do not limit ourselves to one form of technology anymore.

9. We won't be happy until we force our CPUs into Bose-Einsten condensate so we can laugh in the face of the uncertainty principle and thereby squeeze another 3fps out of quake.

10. We want to have intelligent discussions with our computers like on the Starship Enterprise (see #8 above).

11. When our friends and family ask us to fix their computers, we'll be able to take care of their fridge and air conditioning too.

12. Human Cryogenics should not be limited to rich people and baseball players.

13. So we can have our own sperm bank, not so much for future generations but so future scientists can map our DNA to understand us.

14. Blue screen of death??? HAAAA!!! Blue screen of COLD!!!

Michael's computers...

Sounds suspiciously like they stole the technology from Michael's computers...

Woohoo, that's hilarious. Awesome post my friend.

"...and I got my harddrives up to 21.2K rpms. You should hear her boot up, man... It's like something out of a freakin' movie... and I uped the voltage on the monitor, too. I gotta wear welder's glasses to freakin' check email, d00d... It's the best," said the greasy yongster between mouthfuls of pizza.

"Hey, did you up your typematic rate on the keyboard yet?" his friend asked excitedly. "One guy on the forums got his up to 1200 csp. That's uber as shit..." His words trailed off as the nubile 17 year-old waitress passed the geeks' table.

"..." remarked Pete, the greaser.

How do you overclock the user?

why bother?

[attonitus]

For cheap cooling for 6 months of the year, just move to Winnipeg and stick your PC on the porch.

Won't work in the summer, but you'll be too busy trying to scrape mosquitos out of your cooling fan to care.

I believe they attempt this in Florida and Texas a lot it involves something called "old sparky.
To date all overclocked users end up dead though.

Overclocking a modem

[avij]

I was a sysop for a BBS back in the dark ages before Internet, and one of users once asked me if it was possible to overclock a modem to get higher speeds. I promptly answered: "Do you have an external modem? Good, just replace your current transformer with something that gives you more volts for your modem." He thanked for advice and logged off.

He never called back.

Why yes, I do like reading BOFH stories, why do you ask?
