lol, it's seems ridiculous to think that the spinning of those small fans have any impact on the cooling when they're so covered in frost themselves :D Are they frozen stiff in those photos?

The fans are not for cooling but to remove the vapour coming from the ln2 pots, otherwise this cold vapour would condensate/turn to liquid = bad for electrics.

I think???
 
No the fan is not frozen it just had frost on it and still does its job of pulling Ln2 vapor away from the rig. The other fans you see are to cool the vrms on the cards. When you remove the stock cooler and are applying higher volts this section of the card still benefits from air cooling even when the core is subzero. As do the VRM'a on the motherboard.
 
Big thanks to OCUK for hosting the benching session. Guys you all rock, and Gibbo you are the dude - never change.

Great set of results and an even better benching session than we had any right to expect. Things just came together at the right time. One WR in the first three days and everything fell into place on day four. 4 Way is never simple, so much can go wrong even on stock, never mind on LN2 but we worked through all the challenges and had a blast at the same time. Ian a true pleasure to bench with you my friend.

Looking forward to the next session, bring on the 780Ti benching.
