I wish people would stop using liquid HELIUM for overclocking !

Maybe the overclockers wish that people would stop needing MRIs, wasting their precious overclocking helium.

now THAT would make a great interivew....

Hoons... you've got your next assignment right there bud- get an overclocker into an interview and see if they admit that they think MRI scanners are a waste of Helium!

Glad I wasn't the one debugging that!

Hmm...well CERN use 120 tonnes of the stuff to cool their superconducting thingamajig. Is the LHC a legitimate use of such large amounts of helium?

If you think a one-off world overclocking record is squandering helium, then you definitely don't want to know what the US federal government is doing with its helium reserves. Oh, and party balloons. Yeah, rage about that.

And yes, the LHC is one of the few valid uses of liquid helium, hydrogen freezes at liquid helium temperatures, and it's an epic explosive hazard, and without near 0K temperatures, you can't get the accurate results needed.

I saw that today too... Fascinating read...
