There is a slight difference between LN2 @ -195.79c and a Cascade pulling down to -87c. Now a Cascade that pulls down to -110c..................................that's a different matter, especially if it can hold a fully loaded Octocore CPU at 6ghz lol.
Ok so what is your local garage selling fuel at? I just checked a receipt we got over Boxing day and we paid £1.39 for 97RON fuel in Alton....all because someone didn't want to go to a supermarket fuel station. Bloody minded ducati riders!
Look up "Extreme Overclocking". Pay attention to Single stage and Cascade cooling as well as LN2 benching
They must be giving it away in Luxembourg then,thats always cheaper than anywhere else in western Europe. In 2005 I paid 7p a litre filling up at the last gas station in Russia before the Estonian border. (The subsequent very temporary arrest of all four of us truckies by the Russian old bill as we exited the gas station cost us a total of $200 though...*bah*) My fuel bill for the fleet has dropped by about 25% in the last 4 or 5 months,around £4500 in real money. The biggest steal is bloody plane tickets: they are quick enough to hike the price for fuel prices,they don't seem to have dropped at all yet. And only some of them buy the fuel fuel upfront,no matter what they claim.I worked at Luton Airport for a bit,I remember lots of times when there were aircraft stranded because the pilot's company fuel or credit card was declined...(I kid you not...)
In fairness, my bike and peace of mind requires top quality marketing campaigns from major fuel vendors. Unless the fuel is Shell, Esso, BP or at a big push Texaco, I can't sleep at night. Even then, it has to be Carlos Fandango MegaJuice with more Rons than you can shake a stick at - think BBC2 on Xmas day afternoon. How people can put fuel from Sainsbury's in their Ducati I cannot fathom.
This is very amateur stuff, with tiny heat sources... We move 150,000W of heat in our systems, not 10W!! The CPU manufacturers are missing a trick here. If they designed their CPU's with refrigerated cooling in mind, it would be easy to couple up a $500 compressor / condenser arrangement with a computer and keep it at a steady -35°C with very little risk. Liquid helium has been used for years in Military, lab and medical equipment to the point the gas is becoming rare. The most interesting use was to super cool the needle in an original recording onto a record.
I used Tesco petrol in my 999S once and it caused an explosion that destroyed Littlehampton. I plan on doing a UK tour of Tesco petrol stations this year
This is the price you pay for living in Birmingham. Birmingham petrol prices: Unleaded on sale in city for UNDER £1 Birmingham garage thought to be first in UK to slash unleaded price back below £1 mark at 99.7p per litre The Harvest Energy petrol station Alcester Road South, Kings Heath, where unleaded is 99.7p per litre Motorists were celebrating after a Birmingham petrol station slashed its price for unleaded to UNDER one pound. Pumps at the Harvest Energy’s forecourt in Kings Heath were inundated with customers after reducing the price of unleaded to 99.7p a litre at around 3pm on Sunday. The outlet is thought to be the first in the UK to drop prices back below the £1 mark. The garage is seling diesel at 109.7p a litre. Owner Velautham Sarveswaran, who also runs petrol stations in Walsall and Redditch, said it was “a great feeling” to be able to save his customer’s cash. “I have a great deal with my supplier, which means I have been able to be very competitive,” he said. “This is the lowest we have charged for unleaded for at least four years. “My customers have kept asking when we are going to drop the price to under £1 and when I looked at the figures I realised I could do it. “For me, it’s not about being greedy. As long as I make enough money to cover my overheads and give me a little bit of a profit then I am happy. “It’s a great feeling for me to be able to give cheap prices to my customers, I like making them happy.” AA spokesman Luke Bosdet said average petrol prices had plunged in the last month. Mr Bosdet said: “There’s an oversupply of oil in the world. “Opec has decided to keep the taps open rather than constrain supply and this has pushed the price down. “That price fall takes about a month to work its way down to the pump. “It should stay down for a while.”
