A friend of mine years ago mucked around with liquid nitro, NOT good, I will leave it at that ;);D:s

Hahaha!

All the tests I've read of using liquid gases say don't do it - they're just too cold and damage the CPU before it gets a chance to warm  up enough...

Be a Caldari in Eve-online, they know a lot about electronics ;D

This is what happened when the guys at toms hardware had a go at nitrogen coooling, i have seen one of their vids and the processor was at like, -50deg c!!!

NO that's cold

If your mobo keeps shutting down then adjust the BIOS so as it doesn't...although this could mean that your processor will pop!!!



In the shop where i work, on of the guys forgot to put the heatsink ect onto the board (he was trying to do like 7 things) and suddenly the shop started to smell!!!  the processor fried itself in under 10 secs!!!

Chris,

Exactly... It's a safety feature built into the Koolance controller board that cuts all power (I won't explain the intricacies of the Koolance W/C hardware...) if the monitored CPU temp reaches 50deg C. I'm really gratefull that it does, means my CPU will be fine once I get the parts from the 'States...

While it's all off and upside down (to keep the few CC's remaining coolant in the radiator) I'll grab some pics for you'se all...

As promised, and sorry for the quality; my Fuji needs a charge before I can use it, so these two were taken with my new phone (2Mpixel camera, but I haven't played with the quality settings yet, and it's "raw" JPG settings are clearly sucky...) I've rotated them so that the machine is the right way up (as if it were being used)

First shot is one of those general, "middle of the case" shots (and it looks cr4p when it's all powered down...). If you look carefully, you can see the two terminating points on the cooling loop (one of them is a connector on the GFX card...) Not only is the cooling loop clearly visible, but my lovely 2x512MB Corsair memory sticks as well...



Second shot shows the bottom of the 120mm fans under the radiator. They (along with the three 80mm fans above the radiator) provide the primary heat exchange. Otherwise, not much to say about this (other than the yellow zip ties holding everything together can be seen ;D)
