Benchmarking and overclocking Intel Nehalem processors will be tricky, but Francois Piednoel claims we will see a “dramatic” increase in speed. The trickiest benchmark of them all will be the “Turbo Mode”, the processor will be aware of the environment it is in, and will change the clock speed according to temperature and current.

I wonder if it would be possible to keep a computer in a freezer, hmmm.... I may consider doing that :P

Hmm would be very interesting to do, but wouldn't the heat generated from the computer burn out the freezer motor?

This particular unit....Big as a fridge...designed to take something like 3 gallons of just cooked food @ 90 deg C to minus 20 in an hour ....so a lesser sized unit should be capable

hey, are you guys smoking something.
It won't work if you have moving part in the freezer (mostly fans), it will freezed up.
and secondly....it will be freezer burned all the parts....dumn a$$.....![]()

With a little work though I reckon still Like I did before that it should be possible to have say 5deg ambient all year round.....I guess this would be like chilling your water loop to 5 deg (give or take a bit) under any load and don't tell me that would not be useful (a fixed ambient/loop temp)
