If I had money, I want to buy a liquid nitrogen tank...

...and then try to overclock the Switch.

Or do something about the low underclocked frequency of the Nvidia SoC.

I don't know. Lately, liquid nitrogen sounds intriguing to me...

Not even possible to over click the switch yet. You wouldn’t even get it past the max GHz in docked mode. Wanna do liquid cooling? Build a custom pc.

Liquid nitrogen is good for making ice cream! I have also poured it into a computer to clean it out before. You can make insta freeze bananas too - but don't you dare try to eat them.

Another fun thing is sticking in a can full of hot steam face first and watching it implode.

I miss working in a chemistry lab :'(

Of all the ridiculous threads I have seen the last days this one has to be the best lol.

You are aware that pouring a cryogenic liquid on a chip will kill it after a few minute's right? Even if you did overclock the SoC you would never get a stable configuration that would require such extreme cooling. The board, power delivery and SoC would not handle the voltages needed to ever make that a necessity, its a mobile low voltage chip it's not like it has a i9-7900X or threadripper, and even the most high end of high end chips would never reach such temps.

Are you sure you know what you are doing because this post just makes me thing something is very wrong here

Also such cooling would cause condensation and water droplets would form inside the switch, boom entire board is fried.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL... When someone gets able to OC, YES, please try LN2, I want to know what is the maximum OC you can get out of the little sucker :D.

You are crazier than me. I just wanted a full copper thick backplate and bigger cooler and a bit of OC, but I would be happy seeing you try the max OC possible of the tegra X1, that is when someone knows how to OC it...

Nah you just need to rapidly press the A button 100 times in under 10 seconds to over click the Switch.

(Sorry couldn't resist lol)

It is, if you have gone through the process of compiling a custom kernel and running Linux it can be done, if it is safe is a another question, but possible yes.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
