In case you have some liquid nitrogen laying around

...and a good bit of time and money to spend. These guys overclocked a P4 to 5.25 Ghz with liquid nitrogen. Some really cool photo's and movies to go along, if you're into the modding/oc'ing type thing

I so want my PC to get those speeds but it will come soon.

"Hey, mate! Forget the liquid nitrogen powered spud gun! I've got a better idea!"

planetsim

and that is ?

jayant

wait till he gets a patent for it :p

Yeah, would sure power up my 863 Mhz P3.

They say that if all the conducting wires in the PC were made of gold, the PC would run more than twice as fast and there would be almost no room for data corruption.

so it won't be long now before those eskimos start whooping at unreal tourny...

Silver's got higher conductivity, but it's more brittle than gold (which is why gold is used instead to connect the chip to the pins). I don't see why we can't have silver PCBs though (except for cost...)

I didn't find the heat capacity of that stuff chip cases are made out of anywhere: I wanted to find out what 1600kW/m² meant for the temperature of the chip (which has to be dumping heat at a rate of 179W)!
