@dimesach Not a problem. If you are looking for a more elite pot: check out LN2cooling. Give that a search as well. Great but expensive.
Constant cold and hot cycles may slowly damage the chip, but I personally have never killed a chip from straight overclocking or cooling.
The ES from this video is dead, because I attempted to remove the IHS on it. ANd I believe the Phenom 955 I either sold or gave away :)

@Slappa Thanks a lot! Sent him an email. I was about to make a flask myself, they are impossible to find. Can't wait to get my 955, plan on oc'ing but just enough for a performance increase nothing extreme. I've heard that cooling your processor like this will induce thermal stress killing them faster., thats why i'm using the celeron. It is on an older ASRock mobo with bad/swollen caps, would really like to see one pop or boil over : ) Are you still using this phenom or is it dead?

@dimesach A 955 would be leaps and bounds better than a celeron not only in performance, but the fun of overclocking the snot out of it. Still great chips IMO. Although I don't know how recent batches are doing (the one in my video was the very first revision, the newer ones clock better), they should reach 4-4.2GHz on air
For dry ice, the cooling pot was sold to a friend and I by a guy in Poland. He goes by the internet name "Duniek" . Give him a search

@Slappa Haha the fun would make up for the smell. I have 2 more questions. I'm about to buy a Phenom 955, what is your opinion of it? And I have an older 2.4ghz celeron that ive overclocked to 3.1 on air, would really like to try this out, where did you get the heatsink flask?
-
@dimesach yes it definitely can make the room smell. Although if you are in a more open room with some good ventilation this is less likely to happen
-
@Slappa Does it make the whole room smell bad? Being around girls doing their nails with the stuff gives me a horrible headache.

Can it play Crysis?

@albertsource Haha, yeah awesome! Buy this CPU Cooler, now for €9,99 and €19,95 monthly to support your system with sufficient dry ice! Lol ;-)



wow, i can hit 5.2GHz on my 2500k... tech world fly's!

@Orexll Absolutely! I can't wait to get an intel setup to mess around with.
