I'm thinking about how to get my feet wet with extreme cooling and want to find the least complex way to just get a taste of some improvement over ambient. Don't need to get subzero temps through the run, just want to see if I can reap some benefit and feel it out before committing to finding a pot and all the gear for a true DICE or LN2 session.
What I'm wondering is whether it would be safe to try incorporating small amounts of dry ice into a normal benching session using a stock cooler? If using a cooler without heatpipes, would there be any danger in keeping a chunk of DICE on top of the cooler for a half hour or hour at a time? Beyond being safe, is there anything that I'm overlooking that would make this impractical/impossible?
Intend to do it all the right way when I really give it a shot. This is more or less just tinkering around to hold me over til I have time for that.
