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.
