Piotke spotted in Overclocking Contest!
The technique for using LN2 is to pour a little at a time, trying to keep the temps at a constant figure. The LN2 quickly boils off when it hits the pot, and topping up is frequently required. Pouring too much can reduce temps too much, inducing the 'cold bug' on some CPU's. If this happens, the system will crash. When it did happen, Paul from Benchtec had a great way to raise the cooling pot temps to a usable level. He used an industrial 2000w paint stripper. It proved to be quite popular, with the other teams borrowing it often.
