It wont directly kill your hardware, but the inch of ice it will create on your hardware will kill em.

also the extreme cold can make soldier joins as fragile as glass, and it will kill Capacitors by deep freez'n em.

All in all its just a bit too useless to be of any use to me.

If you notice ALL the projects on ProCooling INCLUDING DH3 are made with parts and materials you can score yourself through local shops. and they are meant to be long running projects, you cant run a LN2 system for more then a couple hours before you run out, and have to buy more. Also the fact you would prolly displace most of the air in the room you are in with N2.

No reason to do stuff that's too outlandish, or unachievable by the peeps who read the page. The REAL talent is when you can do stuff that's close to that intense with much more standard and safe materials. Which is the goal at procooling.

On a side note, my Dad was in Chicago at a big Medical Technologies Expo ( hes a Network engineer for L&H doing voice to data server setups for huge hospitals.) there was a huge tank of Flourinert with a monitor in side as a demo!

They had a big sealed cap on it to keep it from evaporating... since at 1000$ PER GALLON, that stuff is liquid gold. They use it to cool all MRI machines, and now some but 32way servers for doing data Analysis. Pretty awesome stuff!
