Intercooling your computer
Intercooling your computer
Very interesting article for computer nerds. Apparently if you use liquid nitrogen you can overclock a 3ghz CPU to 7ghz. Other people in these pics fill their cases w/ cooking oil and whatnot. Take a look at the images. Edit: This second one has a turbo

It works but theres a flaw it in. THey are using the oil as a sink , the problem is that the temp of the sink can easily rise to a temp above desired. Where something with a lower evap point would guarantee temp of the sink.
once of the reasons people use oil for frying is its ability to hold so much residual heat (ontop of the fact that it is polar)

yeah thats cause you open the door and continuly introduce moisture and then it freezes. Hence no humidity
If you start a freezer outside (when it was cold) and never opened it (and it had a perfect seal) it would never ice over

But the amount of oil they have vs the heat produced. They have enough that when disbursed through all of the oil it rests at a temp that is cool enough to vent off and keep the system running. Also people who OC **** from 3ghz to 7ghz are cheap. Olive Oil is cheap **** vs whateverelseyouuse.
Whateverelse = Water = free
or Alcohol = Mouthwash = $1/gallon (dolla store)
Right but that sink isnt that big and its got a high secific heat. So run it for a long time and it just gets really hot doesnt shed the heat. The trick is the take advantage of the massive amount of heat in phase change, ie going from 211F to 212F with water.
