Hydrogen has a great heat capacity

I shall now cool my computer with liquid hydrogen.
What do you mean I'm not supposed to overclock 90 quads at 9001%? I can finally play planetside at max settings though!

Liquid hydrogen would just evaporate, though, unless you keep your room really fucking cool. Just
dump your computer into mineral oil instead.

Okay, but do you know what they call Liquid Hydrogen in aerospace Engineering?
Rocket Fuel is what.
Also there's a lot of pressure that happens when it goes beyond hyper-cold. Like, enough pressure to explode your computer.

You see, Ivan, when you cool your PC with rocket fuel, it will stay cool because of fear of exploding
Also meh, I played PS2 on max settings with my GTX 770. No big deal.

Yeah, runs at silky smooth 60 fps for me, probably higher without VSync but my monitor is only 60hz. Dunno what graphics card you got, though.

PS2 actually runs like crap unless you have either a very specific AMD (I think?) card, or a top-tier nVidia or Radeon card, IIRC.

Funny, until now I've always read Radeon as "Raedon". Heh.

So it's poorly optimized
and pretty P2P? Oh well at least it'a fun.

Liquid Hydrogen is liquid hydrogen, it only becomes rocket fuel if you do something stupid like mix it with oxygen.
Ivan, pretty certain if I made a computer to cool on liquid hydrogen, It would be able to handle the pressure.
Mineral oil? Ew no. Goopy shit is what that is.
Also #Independant thermal systems r fun
60fps? Just 60fps? Why not 480fps? At 2160p? Because * waving that's why.
