engineer? Anything specific you design for your work? Or you can take it here if you'd like. Just curious

I posted over there. Nuke engineer.

It's okay. Can't keep track of everybody all the time.

Liquid nitrogen-cooled Haswell chip hits 6.5GHz

From: http://m.cnet.com/news/liquid-nitrogen-cooled-haswell-chip-hits-65ghz/57587788

The guys from Asrock shows how a 3.5GHz Intel Core i7-4770K CPU can be overclocked to 6.5GHz using a sub-zero cooling setup at Computex.

that's an lcs system hahaha

there is ln2 lower in the page tho

I copy/pasted the wrong picture link lol thanks, fixed now

haha it's cool! I was super impressed to be honest i was thinking... where is the pour valve!? how is there no condensation.. then i realized it was lcs

cool stuff tho

while it's rather amazing they pulled those kind of gains out of the chip,... it's pretty impractical.

not really just pour some liquid nitrogen into your ln2 canister ever 5 minutes

Yeah...mostly good for benchmarking and....benchmarking. If you want a fast chip with lower maintenance than every 5 minutes, watercooling wins!

Even in my hot Florida room, my CPU cores stay at 30-33 C idle. Ambient is about 26-27 C [2600K Overclocked to 4.7 for games and 4.4 for daily use. SLI GTX680 Classifieds stay pretty cool as well, room gets super hot though!]

PC talk!

60C for my CPU and 74C for my GPU are the hottest my temps have been. Of course that's been 100% CPU usage and 100% GPU usage.

 

[KennyGS]

74C is rather warmish.

 

[Jonathong]

My setup I'm usually at 29c but when I start to play games and all that it usually is at 49c. Biggest I got mine up to was 51c

 

[bootyluvr]

You are watercooled right?

 

[323]

Mine usually hovers at 48°C normal use and 57° with games. That's at 3.8-4.2GHz

My GTX680 is at 70C when playing games and 100%.

sorry to go off topic-ish, but could i get some suggestions on a laptop

wants/needs/guide list -
- backlit keyboard (last one didnt have one, didnt realize how big that was)
- preferably i5 or i7
- $500 - 800 (willing to go absolute max 900 if convincing enough)
- 15" pref, last one i had was 17, i dont know what the hype is all about huge laptop screens. purpose is to transport easily and i had a asus n61jqx that thing was fucken huge
- good battery life is a must but will compromise with speed

notes -
- will be doing some light gaming on it, maybe just league of legends. mostly for browsing and school, ms office ready would be nice
- been looking at this, any thoughts ? http://www.costco.com/HP-Envy-dv6t-Quad-Laptop,-Intel®-Core™-i7-3630QM-2.4GHz.product.100036057.html

only thing that may be bad - (I don't know enough about the graphics for gaming)

In my opinion if you are getting a laptop, I would grab one with a Haswell in it. It's GPU is much better than the last gen (I believe it can run a 4k display I read somewhere) and it's main focus is battery life and mobile performance. Hence why Apple's Air went from 7 hours to 12 hours of battery life (tested at longer - also getting them at work I'll test them out there too!)

Thanks boss, any other suggestions?
