[QUOTE=latin_geek;38503176]I wonder if what's the point where a computer becomes "under-heated" and the performance suffers. Christ.[/QUOTE] Lower temperatures = lower electrical resistance = better stability, down to superconductivity (zero resistance) at absolute zero. There's a reason "extreme overclockers" use pots of liquid nitrogen.
[QUOTE=mblunk;38503160]I had a winter LAN a few years ago, one friend's computer had terrible cooling issues so we took the side panel off and put it outside, running the cables indoors. His GPU hit 0 C while idle. Oh Michigan Decembers.[/QUOTE] When winter gets here I'm going to put it on my window sill turned with the side panel off. It'll probably do the same.
I should try playing GTA or something on my laptop while outdoors, it's pretty cold these days. [editline]18th November 2012[/editline] The fan controller would probably go "Oh cool" and shut the fans off. Technically that would save battery power :v: ~~Ultracoolgaymen~~

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;38503287]However there are problems with too much cooling, I can't seem to remember what they were tho.[/QUOTE] Well if you do what we did at the LAN and then bring the machine back inside while the parts are still cool (instead of warming it up before shutting off and bringing it in) then the warm, more-humid indoor air will make contact with the cool components, and since cooler air can't hold as much water as warmer air, some water vapor might condense on the cold bits, particularly the case. But that only happens when you have cold electronics in a warm environment, not the other way around.

I can't seem to find the article anymore.
Well, heat expanding might hurt the CPU / other parts too tho. As in, things shrink in cold and expand in hot places, your cpu might get a few cracks from it afaik.
Well yeah, if you just dip a CPU into LN2 it will break like anything else you submerge in it.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;38503432]Well, heat expanding might hurt the CPU / other parts too tho. As in, things shrink in cold and expand in hot places, your cpu might get a few cracks from it afaik.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's true, I'm not sure how they set it up without causing too much thermal shock. I know nvidia 8-series mobile GPUs had a tendency to die after a couple years of moderate use due to weak soldering that would fail after repeated thermal-induced expansion and shrinking due to load/idle cycles, I had to throw out cartloads of otherwise functional Dell D620/D630s back when I worked at the ISP thanks to this issue.
I remember LN2 modders slowly cooling it down over a really long period of time, no idea how they solved shutting it down.

[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;38500584]Synapse is the new drivers that has some type of online DRM / cloud function And there are probably Twinkies left, just not new ones made[/QUOTE] The whole Synapse thing was blown out of proportion - nobody paid attention when it turned out you only had to log on once and it wasn't always-on DRM. It's still absurd that they force you to log onto an online service for a piece of hardware, but they're not [i]quite[/i] the horrible company everyone makes them out to be.
soon people will be putting cracks for Razer mice on TPB
[QUOTE=Warship;38501817][video=youtube;bvp0EWpW9pQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvp0EWpW9pQ[/video][/QUOTE] When I OC'd my i5 all I did was set the multiplier, I didn't even go near the voltage settings. and why the fuck do they think over locking the CPU will give them massive fps increases, it will be more like 1-5 extra fps.

You know your company is full of shit if others has to crack your drivers to use your product
All you guys are just jealous that Razer saved PC gaming once again
They're the patron saint of gaming
[QUOTE=Protocol7;38505277]All you guys are just jealous that Razer saved PC gaming once again[/QUOTE] That is true, I feel shameful. I shall at once go out and buy a Razer mouse, Razer keyboard and that tablet thing (did that even get released)
