There are some very silly overclocking people who dip their motherboards
into extremely cold nonconductive liquids. In their efforts, some have
lowered the processor from room temperature to roughly -100 in seconds
without any damage. I personally would like to see someone try cooling by
wind chill, which would avoid the condensation problem and thermal shock
problems, but that is a different ball of wax.
