found this cool thread on another forum, very informative for sure. I know there arent many people here who do sub-zero, but I am sure there are at least a couple of you guys interested enough to at least try it out , but thought it was very expensive or out of your reach somehow. :)

It's a common misconception that subzero cooling is expensive while in reality, it's just like any other hobby: it can range anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars (or even tens of thousands ).

However, I'm here to give a bit of a guide on how to get in as cheaply as possible.

Actually there quite a few of us who use subzero cooling.. check out our hwbot overclocking team and a few of the results to see who and how we do it...
DICE may seem the most cost effective but is only for very short use... for longer runs you would need to purchase units as large as 10lbs (more of u use the pellets) remember that tuning you cpu to run a benchmark while under subzero temp differs greatly from tuning using air or even water .. however a good lil guide for those who know nothing about extreme cooling and want the basics. Nice lil find
