Liquid Nitrogen Keeps Overclocked 5GHz CPU from Cooking

Chances are you won't be seeing this kind of action from your friend's overclocked system, but the crew at Universal ABIT showed off a Core 2 Extreme X6800 CPU overclocked from 2.93GHz to 5GHz. The CPU was churning out Pi calculations while keeping cool with liquid nitrogen. The purpose was to show off their new AB9 QuadGT motherboard (and how cool liquid nitrogen can make your PC look).

Then again it would probably be tooo cold.

ben hates you6914d ago

but this is amazing, to bad this probley not be out for long while, if you have liquid nitrogen put it in a glass bottol put cap on tight, run, its exactly like frag grenade but not as powerful, me and my cousin do that alo

I always chuckle when I see you post snoop. Just because it's Sean Connery's face, with snoop_dizzle as the name. Just gets me weak.

Plus you always have a useful comment. Unlike most comments, including some of mine :).

Couldn't all PC's and console use this type of cooling tech? It would sure solve the 360's problems.

Of course, liquid nitro is probably expensive and hard to handle. Not to mention extremely dangerous if it got released somehow. It would be a PR disaster if some kid accidentally lost some fingers or something bc they were fooling around with the cooling system.

Its only good for benchmarking.. Not like you could have your normal everyday computer running this...

This isnt the first time someone has done this and wont be the last..

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit19d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing19d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9219d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
