I'm not really into extreme cooling or extreme overclocking, myself, but I was wondering.
I work in a lab that utilizes high-vac chambers. We use 2 different types of units to achieve high vac: Cryo pumps and Diffusion pumps. You can look them up if you don't know how they work, but the main point is that both use phase change to achieve very low temperatures.
The Diffusion pumps use a polycold unit that probably will get down to -150*C and the cyro pumps use hydrogen as a refrigerant to achieve about -268*C. I know the polycold could maintain that temperature, I'm not sure about the cryo, once introduced to a hot processor.
Anyhow, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried using a polycold unit or a hydrogen pump to achieve such temperatures on a more consistant basis.
