Permanent LN2 cooling system.

[neo86]

I've heard a lot about the guy who used LN2 to cool his P4 procesor and reached 3.7 ghz. The thing is that his setup didn't seem permanent. What happens after all the LN2 evaporates?

Is there some sort of compressor that will condense the GN2 back into LN2 so I can use it for more than a day?


What about a LN2 heat pipe? Of course in this type of setup you would have to have a heat pipe that condenses LN2 because of the pressure.

Well you can get a LN2 recompressor. You're looking at 4 figures minimum plus a 3-phase supply. Plus the cpu will probably fail in a week due to thermal stress.

u dont have to get the cpu as low as -170 degrees u can adjust the degrees i think with thermal diode if the cpu is on heavy load u let more LN2 flow if les it flows les ? or can u ? and if u dont let it work the full pwer all the time, i mean the lin flow isnt so big it drains les power from network or does it ?
i think it would need to have werry reliable system if the LN2 gets out ... hmm i wouldn like to stand there :) i know it doesnt do much but it depens of the amount of ln. arg damn dont know how to

edit:make im thinking readable cos do not know the terms

but im thinking if u change the amount of the LN2 with the load... i mean amm ... if the cpu goes warmer u add more LN2 flow if lower les LN2 flow thorugh pipes, can u do that ... ? cant explane eny more due dontn know the words i need.

Is LN2 dangerous to nature ?

<---------definately confused now

anyone else feel cross-eyed at this point?

we have both tanks and compressors that pull the Nitrogen from the air. the tanks are easier to use and probably cheaper in the long run because it requires a lot of energy.

The problem is in controlling the flow. If you keep up a steady flow, the pipes become cooled, and LIN comes out the other end..If you reduce the flow, to keep the cpu temp higher, then the pipes have a chance to warm up, and then the LIN turns to gas in the pipes, and blows out. You would really have to use super-insulated pipes, using vacuum as insulation to have any chance of a low flow of LIN.
