Supercooling has the ability to double your CPU's rated speed.
Immersing the whole setup in a supercooled environment using the right stuff is possible.
The board can take extreme temps up to -45C, at least in this experiment, and still remain functional.
The battery and capacitors which contain some form of liquid inside them might have caused the board to fail in the end when they started to freeze.
LN2 will not crack the components if you do the cooling gradually and in steps.
Mixing dry ice with fluorinert will bring the fluid temp down very fast and effectively. Dry ice being dielectric too, didn't compromise the rig's electrical conductivity.
Guys, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year !
