Great work, congrats pal

More vintage extreme overclock from Japan Year: 2001 ÂuA7M266 Rev1.04Âv‚ðƒtƒ‹ƒ`ƒ…Â[ƒ“‚µ‚Ü‚µ‚傤ÂIÂI

More vintage extreme OC related, and now this one is from Japan. A guy named Kazuhisa Suzuki decided to use dry ice to cool down an vintage Athlon 1.2 GHz mounted in a EPoX EP-8K7A, a motherboard for Athlon / Duron with AMD-761 (North Bridge) and VIA VT 82 C 686 B (South Bridge) on its chipset. Despite this session have been made with dry ice instead of ln2, i find it very interesting because it's dated from the year 2001 and was made in the country of the rising sun (ORIGINAL LINK): ASCII.jp：ドライアイス冷å´ã§ãƒžã‚¤ãƒŠã‚¹70℃ã®ä¸–ç•Œã¸ï¼FSB設定クロック200MHzã§ã®èµ·å‹•ã‚’マーク!!

I found a NASA technical document, dated from 1994, that is tagged with "performance NAS" and "cryogenic cooling". I still did not read it, and it looks very technical article, so if anyone here wants to ready it: https://archive.org/details/nasa_techdoc_20020027082

I've just found this very interesting article made by a guy named Ramil Tranquilino, that's basicaly a step-by-step preparation for Ln2 session made in New Zealand. Interesting to mention that these guys used fluorinert, i personally never heard about this being used along with Ln2 in OC sessions. Hardware used: ABIT BE6-2 Motherboard (QJ BIOS) Creative 32MB TNT2 Ultra Infineon 128MB PC133 Celeron 366 This is dated from June year 2000 https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20001019004913/http://www.octools.com/articles/submersion/submersion.html

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Btw, when will the kpx thermal grease be available?

Amazing job Vince, as always top nº 1 congrats pal

I didn't get it. What's that suppose to mean?

Just sharing this list i found at tomshardware: GPU Hierarchy - Comparison of Graphics Cards for Gaming

Thanks Massman!

Hey guys, i need a little help. I'm planning to organize a 3D overclock tournament, and i made this nvidia list, separated by category. But i need hekp with the corresponding AMD video cards. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this info I found a video from 1984 where japaneses were making experiments with Supercomputers using Ln2, but tbh that's not a "truly" overclock session.

Thanks A LOT Mr. Piednoel, it's really an honor to have someone with such a huge experience and knowledge about overclock history helping us here. I know you must be a very busy person at Intel, but if somehow you have some time left, it would be a great help if you could share content (pictures, videos, scientific paper etc...) about "old" extreme overclock with Ln2 (if you have it). Thanks again

@Massman I found it, at least i think. In this vídeo, dated from !!!1984!!! specifically at 14m55s, a guy is shown putting a japanese super computer to operate with liquid nitrogen. Please take a look. https://archive.org/details/CC126_supercomputers

So there was a TV show from april 2002 were some nut guys used Ln2 to cool a CPU, really amazing because this was a TV show! Does someone here knew this? https://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video23178

I found more "back to the 90's" material. As many stated here, the japaneses were pioneer in subzero overclock. Despite not being Ln2 related, seems they used subzero cooled carbon dioxide, phase change and peltier back in october 6 1998!! オーãƒãƒ¼ã‚¯ãƒ­ãƒƒã‚¯ã®ãŸã‚ã®æ”¹é€ è¬›åº§ã€Œãƒžã‚¶ãƒ¼ãƒœãƒ¼ãƒ‰æ”¹é€ ã®å‹§ã‚ã€

Depois conversa com o Renan, ele pegou minha rapage extreme x48 que morreu do nada, ia ver se tinha conserto. Ela era monstro, me deu muitas alegrias antes de ripar.

Excelente CPU amigo, parabéns! Tenho um lá em casa que pegou "apenas" 4501mhz numa das primeiras sessões com Ln2 que fiz.

Great, thanks for the info TASOS, i already contacted him, let's hope he can help Thanks FUGGER, i'll dig in there then BTW, could you please send some pictures of this pot? Also if you can share more photos/videos of it i'll appreciate it

Thanks a lot for this link Do you think that Ln2 was on since 90's ? I'm asking because i remember that in 1995 (i was 14yo), i lived in a different city (in Brazil called Barretos, San Paolo state) my father took me and my brother to visit his friend in a new laboratory were they had tons of dewars with aninal samples to do research. That was my first contact with Ln2, i remember the guy trowing Ln2 in our hands and on my brother's head, just for fun. Them some other guy arrived and asked for a dewar that they combined to be borrowed. After a while i remember my father's friend telling my fatther that that guy was using the Ln2 to do "computer research". I confirmed this history with my father last weekend in a nostalgic conversation about the past. I keep wondering how many crazy enthusiastic overclocker guys on this world went extreme and we will never hear about them. If someone else knows a history or photos/videos please share this, it's overclock history, we need to keep as many records as we can

Henrique is a very good overclocker from Brazil, sorry if he can beat veteran guys from here.

Great research @Massman loved it

Does anyone here knows WHO made and WHEN occurred the first extreme Hardware overclock "session" in the overclocking history?

He apeared as a friend suggestion on facebook to me, but the pics in there are from the same guy on this link above from a bmw forum... Just curious.
