the compressor will move less or more refiigent also and will be trickee

Yes, it's a common method in the industry to control syncronos motors, i.e. motors that depend on the AC frequency.lclark2074 said:its when you make AC like 50hz, 60hz, 70hz , 90hz most ac moters will run at difrent speeds 3000 rpm ,3600rpm, 4200rpm 5400rpm
and some run at 1/2 that speed or 1/3 of that speed

A group of computer scientists and engineers in Japan found that below ~-120 there are no longer any overclocking advantages and LN2 is as far as you need to go or you are just wasting your time (unless you are doing something ground-breaking).![]()

helium compressed.... i mean not to be like uhh putting down the project but uhh overkill? I mean no matter what kind of volt modd etc etc you just can't push hardware that far..... I mean what phase change cooling systems that are working correctly are actually having heat being the source of not being able to overclock? The limitations are the hardware not the cooling.... sure it is a COOL idea... but I have to say if you overclock and your load temp is -5C then it is not temp keeping you back... It just the limitations of the hardware.....
anyone else consider the different rates of expansion/ compression of the materials used in the motherboard and processor...
silicon, plastic cpu socket, metal.... all expand and contract at different rates....
extreme temp change + different expansion rates = stress between materials = crack / break
but then again if it works out and everything works....
WOW

drewmister said:well i'll come out and admit it i am very new to oc forums and i am very very new to phase change cooling... I dont own one but plan on building one sometime in the future (when i get enough money for a new rig). Why the better performance between -5c and -50c because it obviously not overheating? Is it just that electricity flows better in colder environments (therefore faster processing in the chip)?
just interested to see the benefits of such low temps...
explanation of cpu voltage
-think of the lines as signals
+ = + = = + =
its easy to tell the +'s and ='s appart......jack up the clockspeed
now we have signals closer together AND more signals overall with the same amount of power.....meaning they are small and closer
+=+==+= .....now its a little more difficult
now if we raise the voltage the signals get stronger and thus easier to tell apart.
+=+==+=
temperature is important for 2 reasons
1) silicon melts at high enough temps
2) resistance rises with temperature. higher resistance means weaker signals for the same amount of voltage.
silicon and germanium have a negative temperature coefficient of resistance . meaning......resistance decreases with increasing temperature. our copper's resistance on the other hand increases with increasing temperature.
Combine these 2 facts and it becomes obvious why lower temperatures are better for processors.
lower temperatures mean our insulator is more effective and our copper has less resistance..... thus allowing for more voltage without errors. which is why phase change users are able to user higher voltages more effectively.
raising the voltage increases the risk signals pass through the insulator. combine this with lower resistance insulator and higher resistance copper and it becomes obvious why oc'ed systems cannot tolerate the high temperatures that a cpu at stock voltage will.
if you do not believe me. undervolt your processor then turn off your case fans. your processor will be stable at higher temperatures than it was with higher voltages.
