Couple points! Thank you Nikolay Pelov and linuxgeex At this low a voltage, the motherboard should never arc. Also, the true thermal barrier isn't even the increased resistance. It's the reduced impedance due to increased quantum tunnelling as temperature goes up, which increases leakage current, which is the majority source of the increased heat once you get into thermal runaway.

Speed of light is also a big limitation, 6.9 ghz means light can only travel 43mm (1.7 inches) per cycle, which is just insane. The size of the die is 20.5 mm × 10.5 mm, now that clock cycle is only within one core inside that CPU die, but still insane, you'll start to see why there isn't a much of room left.

im working with cryogenics for work and the samples we are working with need to be handeled in LN2 at all times so seeing this i got some ideas. If you put the motherboard in a big container, the gas nitrogen (from the boiling) would fill it because it is heavier than air and you would not have air (which has all the moisture) around it. If you have a university or research institute around, you could think about contacting them. Cryogenic work is quite common nowadays and there is probably some experts around that can help with this

These guys handle some ridiculous materials. They do some ridiculous electrical mods. They engineer all sorts of ridiculous hacks and workarounds. But they insist on using "common" consumer parts in "common" consumer conditions. That means a computer on a table in normal air, no complete immersion, no vacuum, no exotic environments. Dunno why, exactly. The hobby is cutting-edge math, science, and tech on one hand. It's unscientific bumbling on the other. It's ruthlessly competitive on one hand. It's team collaboration on the other. It's methodical experimentation and calculation on one hand, it's reckless gamble on the other.

To add to Groentje92 comment: Make the container out of 30mm plexiglass then enclose the top. whole thing rubber sealed. Add a flask with a tap to allow the topping up of liquid nitrogen. Add a vacuum pump. this will allow the chamber to be pulled down to a lower pressure, lowing the boiling temperature of liquid nirogen, allowing even colder temps. Also might be worth adding a 45psi burst disk,.. just in case of over pressure even if vaccum pump fails at some point.

To give a little more context as to the dangers of LN2, it has 2 primarily. First is its displacement of oxygen causing asphyxiation (don't breath the gas). Second is its cold, but when touching your skin it due to the temperature gradient causes the LN2 to flash directly to a gas with a sort of barrier forming between your skin and the LN2. If you put on gloves this doesn't happen, it soaks into the gloves and super cools the gloves leading to burns from it. This will happen with socks and other fabrics too.

Just an FYI (months later) you'll probably encounter the leidenfrost effect with liquid nitrogen. Effectively the liquid boils away and shields the core from cooling; this is why you can dip your hand in liquid nitrogen. If you convert to a pumped/flow setup you will avoid this. It would also allow you to use other cases like helium with little change. Source: in grad school we worked with cryogens and temperature controllers for experiments at 4K or below

@Linus the true thermal barrier isn't even the increased resistance. It's the reduced impedance due to increased quantum tunnelling as temperature goes up, which increases leakage current, which is the majority source of the increased heat once you get into thermal runaway. That is what will damage the CPU, and that's the reason for throttling. Well... unless you're throttling before you melt the board's power stages or power delivery traces. We're at that point now where some mobos will fail before the CPU!

@@nickpayne1182 At the frequencies they're pushing, 99% of the chip is a series of connected RLC tank resonators being coerced into operating literally in harmony. For best efficiency those little tanks are designed to operate happily in a given frequency range with a given amount of power based on capacitance, inductance, the driving voltage, the driving frequency. The rate of change of voltage is based on the resistance (metal and semiconductor) and impedance (metal and semiconductor.) The resistance of both goes up quite linearly with temperature. Impedance on the other hand is quirky, lol. As the capacitance and inductance deplete they induce current flow which increases impedance to the depletion of the inductance. Higher temps decrease that impedance but prolong it. Net effect is that the transistor takes a little longer to switch, and so requires a higher voltage to switch fast enough to keep up with the clock rate, hence why cooling and under-volting allow you run higher clocks at lower power. Quantum tunnelling does the opposite. It's behaves similarly to how an avalanche starts thanks to vibration. The electrons want to get from A to B. Semiconductors can be biased to operate as either conductors or insulators. Insulation works to prevent electron movement by presenting a uniform wall of electron shells perpendicular to the desired path of the electron(s). As the insulator's molecules heat up and shake larger gaps intermittently appear in that wall. When the gaps get large enough, the odds of electrons jumping through them increases (quantum is all about odds lol). That shakes the molecules even more, and soon you have an avalanche of electrons migrating where they shouldn't, plus more heat than was designed for. If the heat is sufficient it can break molecular bonds and the electrons will start pushing atoms around, aka "electromigration". CPUs have heat sensors to make themselves throttle before that happens, but those sensors can fail and allow a CPU to self-immolate, sadly, and that's part of why TDP exists - the CPU will also throttle above a certain power usage window as a backup failsafe anti-suicide measure. Intel K series processors have that safety feature turned off... you pay for less safety lol.

@@linuxgeex Holy cow, thank you for the explanation & giving me a good starting point to do more research. I learned the basics of electrical theory in my apprenticeship, so luckily this isn't all Greek to me. Your explanation sounds very similar to what I was taught about reactance & hysteresis in AC circuits. Thank you again for the explanation.
He is finally overclocking that is awesome
Splave is a freaking beast!!! Linus comes up with Dank people!!!
wow such a realistic and practical video idea
@7:30 - talking about no money in OC'ing, the "Very True" felt like it came from the gut. I felt that. It was visceral for me lmfao.
Uhhh the new design of the video-references is really good! Love to see it!
Wow, Splave even overclocked his biceps and intimidating glare lol
Love the ugreen sponsor, they're my go-to brand for cables
2:10 Allen in the background just sitting there looking like a super scary bouncer. 🤣
I think we all like this dude. And I think you guys can do a lot more with this topic. MORE
Alright! My birthday, June 9th, 1959. Thanks for the birthday gift Linus!
I love how nonchalant he is about it.
a cool extention of something like this could be to put the whole system in a pressurized nitrogen atmosphere so moisture isn't an issue then use a cryogenic heat pump similar to the ones used to make LN2 as a cpu cooler by maybe using LN2 or helium as the cooling liquid. have a raspberry pi or the like managing flow rates and temps and it could make one hell of a server (wouldn't want a set up that big on a desk so in a rack it must go)

The problem is, the action of the LN2 boiling rapidly is actually what sucks out so much of the heat. It pulls a lot of thermal energy out from the pot to go from the liquid to the gas state. This is actually very much how freon(r134) in our AC systems works, the transition from liquid to gas, and back, makes it able to absorb and release that heat so efficiently That's a really neat idea tho, I wonder if there is a way to implement it in a moisture free pressure vessel that still allows the energy transfer as efficiently(maybe more?)

Can't they put it in a sealed box with a water condenser .
Have Splave on more!! Vibing with his teddy bear energy 💪💪 and cool as a cucumber
Another idea for preventing condensation is running the motherboard in a partial vacuum with the rest of the air being dehumidified beforehand, assuming that the hardware isn't extremely sensitive to lack of air or atmospheric pressure.

Would boil LN faster
Everytime you go incognito, picture Splave arms crossed judging you.
Awesome! Love the videos partnering with other folks!!!

I hope that sometime in the future there will be a point that cooling systems will be so advanced that any person would be able to have a 10GHz CPU in his desktop PC
