Doesn't even need to be nitrogen, while that gives better possible OC there are easier to handle liquid gasses in common use (liquid ammonia).
Though ammonia is somewhat unpleasant (and toxic) it's also common in industrial refrigeration so supplies are steady and it's cheap - in a DC environment solvable.
Not something I'd fuck with at home though.
- BenjiWiebe 5y agoSince when is liquid ammonia easier to deal with then LN2? Ammonia is nasty stuff. Like way worse then a solution of ammonium hydroxide (household ammonia).
- BizarroLand 5y agoWhat is the chance that the ammonia itself would damage parts of the computer? Surely few, if any machines are rated to deal with liquid ammonia immersion with direct PCB contact. Also, afaik Ammonia dissolves zinc into zinc hydroxide, which is a semiconductor, and liquid ammonia may also be electrically conductive even if gaseous ammonia is not. There's so many things that could go wrong with that in my mind, but I would really like to know where you heard about this or if you're doing work with this somehow and fill in my own knowledge gaps if you will.
- lostlogin 5y ago> there are easier to handle liquid gasses in common use (liquid ammonia). I’m irrationally angry reading this comment. I’d prefer to risk nitrogen asphyxiation that deal with the smell of ammonia. A cat has been peeing on my door step for the last few years.
