A while back, I posted a message about supercooling an entire system: motherboard, processor, graphics, everything--with liquid helium...pretty much making every conductive layer in the system a superconductor
But I was concerned about microfractures in the core and etchings throughought the system...after I thought about it, microfractures are not my primary concern...
It turns out--and it's really stupid of me to overlook this--that at temperatures approaching absolute zero, ceramic becomes a superconductor
so, you guessed it: sizzle, pop, boom--dead processor
bridging every single upper level connection on a processor would generally be considered a bad thing...
I guess I'll have to wait for processors and chipsets made out of plastic or something--Oh well... would have been fun to get to 5 gigs though :)
