Is cold cool for a CPU?

[Kenton Flaig]

Would there be any advantage to cooling a CPU down till it's cold? For example, 0 C.?

Sure. Prolonged life. Better performance. Higher overclockobility.

Downside of going down that low? Condensation, the enemy of electronic componenets everywhere.

Personal opinion: All the extra parts and expese required to make sub and zero systems run, why not just by the top of the line CPU?

YES.
you could pump through more electricity, allowing the chip to run faster.

Depends. I seem to remember a Processor line from Intel that would **** up calculations when it is cooled below freezing point.

I don't have a problem with my intel 2.8 overclocked to 3.65 ghz at -21 degrees C with a Prometeia Mach 1 cooling unit....
