Looks like they actually froze the Celeron in liquid CO2...Classic!!! That's hilarious!!! No problems with shorts on the board due to the condensation?? Then why not?? I work with liquid Helium in my lab!! I'll try the dip technique and my processor will be at 4 degrees above absolute zero!!! 1000Hz??? Adam

Rather than freezing the CPU, it appears they constructed a metal "heatsink tub" that they filled with liquid nitrogen, then bolted onto the CPU. N.
Nice idea, but I don't think it can be CO2 - they show the stuff as liquid without a window protecting it, & at 1 atm CO2 won't form a liquid - it's dry ice. Could be a refrigerant of some sort, like in a deep freezer; the temp setting suggests they're running at 101 K, or -172C, which is rather difficult to get in one fridge, but possible; solid CO2 melts at around -70 C, to around +/-10 C, so its not that. Impressive lengths to go to though - I wonder if there's a kit available? :) Charles.
