The advantage of LN2 cooling as applied by the guys you refered to is the entire mobo is cooled and all attached components., not just the CPU. And it is not for an operational system. Just a max effort to post some extreme O/C numbers. Now as I understand what you are doing is stick some dry ice chunks in a little container mounted on the CPU and fill it with LN2. Do you know what happens when dry ice and LN2 come in contact with each other? How long will the LN2 last before it boils away and you have to add more? Why use copper for your container? It would be better to build an insulated container so the boil-off is slowed as much as possible. Do you plan to insulate the back side of the mobo? Do you know that most likely this is a one shot thing. The extreme cold shock will cause damage.

Do you have good health insurance to cover the frostbite and other injuries you will most likely recieve.

Finally, do you have any idea what you are doing?

You asked for comments. Please think this over and don't try this at home!
