>Aren't there limits on how far you can overclock a cpu?
OC'ing has its limits. Most don't have to worry about even coming close.

>No matter what kind, liquid conducts electricity, so wouldnt the LN2 short circuit the Not all liquids conduct, oil for example is used as an insulator. I don't know about LN specifically but if I had to guess I'd say it's an insulator because of it just being two N atoms w/ a single bond.cpu?

Can you fill a whole watercooling tank with LN2?
You can do whatever you like if you have enough LN.

What about condensation?
Assuming I'm right and LN is indeed an insulator, then by surrounding the system completely with the LN no water can get in, thus no condensation. Barring that I would use something that is applied as a liquid and then solidifies. I seem to recall various OCers using nail polish of some sort.
