In recent years we have written several times in a liquid nitrogen cooling systems and phase transition (phasechange). The goal has always been to have fun at increasing the frequency as much as possible, with the processor at the time. Some years ago, the 5 GHz was something "magical", but the arrival of Intel's 32 nanometer has achieved a similar frequency with air cooling. In this regard you can read our review on the i5 Core 655K, air-cooled and able to boot despite the frequency of 4.93 GHz Intel Core i7 875K and Core i5 655K, economic overclock. Overclocking a dual-core processor at high frequencies with an extreme cooling now does not make much sense, so we decided to put to the test with a 980X Core i7 Extreme Edition processor with six cores tip (for now) from Intel.
Most of you know the basic principles of cooling phasechange: the gases absorb heat during the expansion, and thus cool the surrounding area. A compressed gas in liquid absorbs more heat and changes phase back to its gaseous state, in the same way that water absorbs a large amount of energy it boils. The gas, in a similar manner, emit heat during compression is for this reason that conventional refrigerators and air conditioners use an external radiator to remove heat from the gas after they are compressed. The cooling brings the gas compressed in the liquid state, justifying the term "condenser" to indicate the hot side of the radiator. The evaporator is the element that distinguishes a cooling phase transition from a traditional cooling for CPU or an air conditioner. Heat exchangers for gas-to-gas appliances such recall a second radiator, and a CPU cooler uses a much smaller evaporator to remove heat from the CPU. What looks like a piece of copper pipe at the end of a drive image above is an evaporation chamber empty, connected to two lines: a high pressure, which provides the liquid, and a low pressure that moves the resulting gas.
