    Nos

    AI NOS™
    Boost performance when you need it the most!
    Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of system resource. Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI NOS™ (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects system load and automatically boosts performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI NOS™ reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds .




    my brother and i were discussing this the other day. my brother is more of a motorhead than me, i'm the closes to an IT i know, besides you guys. i have a buddy that taught me, but i've surpasssed him, to a degree. he touches a whole lot more hardware than i do, although i know how to deal w/ the internet and software better. what i'm getting at is, this seems like a no-brainer to set up, in a manner of speaking. releasing the nos into my case by turnning it on when i am gaming using a dry mixture, which can be purchased for automotive reasons... heh heh.

    think of how much cooler the air into the case would be, and this just proves it to me, and my brother that i can hook something up, since he's got the bottles. :0) i haven't looked for the price locally to have one of his smaller bottles filled but it couldn't be that much, and nitrous oxide is a nonlethal.

    it only decreases oxygen content of the surrounding air, but not by much. when the wind hits you in the face outside, you are feeling more nitrogen in the air than oxygen per volume of atmospheric air (didnt feel like getting my chemistry book out, and believe me i googled this and it didnt pop out at me, and ended up being a lot of reading for one statistic about N2O's composition of our atmosphere).

    however, it is a greenhous gas (greenhouse gases are real in their localized effects), but i am not a big believer in global warming being caused by us*. i know it's debatable, but cars burning gasoline creates more raw N20 than this way of using it would release by a long shot. there also might be a slight smell to it, wont be sure of that unless i try the automotive grade which i know will be cheaper.

    *Mt St. Helens spewed more toxins into the air than mankind has in it's existence. the earth keeps spinning no matter what we do to the face of it, which will also keep the plates moving ie volcanoes, earthquakes, the poles changing... the list goes on and on... to me it's not even worth debating, but i know some people feel strong about this issue.

    what do you guys think about that idea's potential? obviously, they are already using it for commercial grade computers.

    Re: Nos

    You're talking about spraying actual Nitrous oxide into your system?? You do realize the article was talking about on demand overclocking and had nothing to do with actual NoS, right?

    As for using actual NoS for cooling, i would forget that idea and just invest in a liquid cooler.

        ok, i read up on it. regardles of asus's trademark name of AI NOS and it's useless applications (and i did read up on some other forums about the OC'ing ability not being worth the hype), we have tossed the idea around. it's just a matter of injecting colder air into the case. dropping the case's overall internal temp. the ceiling fan will disperse the gas, it wouldn't be dangerous by any means.

          Maybe not dangerous but you need to consider the sudden drop and difference in temperature inside the case would most likely cause condensation. A rusted mobo is a busted mobo.

            Re: Nos

            hmmmm...... very good point, but it wouldn't be hard to adjust the volume of total air with the right kind of valve, thus keeping the overall temp from dropping to a point that would produce condensation.

            the injector could be as simple as a pneumatic needle (pumping footballs) fitted to a hose leading to the valve. used one to clean the dust out of my computer today in fact. honestly, as long as i am dropping the internal degree by maybe 5 to 10 degrees Faren. as it is, my gpu raises 5 after a bout with bf2. if i play for more than 5 hours straight, which i've been known to do, it seems like a viable plan to me, but i could be wrong. couldn't hurt to try it.

                the concentrations wouldn't be nearly strong enough to produce those effects. this is only a matter of a gas in concentration moving to less concentration which absorbs heat. ideal gas law (p*V = n*R*T = N*k*T):)
                a fan of any sort would dissipate the gas to the point this would have no chance to build up. this is similar to our atmosphere we breathe being bottled up into higher concentrations, you're just removing the other components of the atmosphere for the sake of that individual gas's properties.


                anyways, i have to get a bottle filled before i can test this setup.

                  it sucks, overclock the computer yourself in the bios.

                    Isnt nitrous oxide extremely flamable? What happens when something in your computer sparks....

                        Nitrous oxide is non-flammable. And if it was an asphyxiant, i'm sure it wouldnt be legal for dentists to use. If there was a leak, all you would do is get the giggles.

                          i've done my chemistry homework, and i can tell you first hand it's not an asphyxiant. i have been in the presence of high amounts, and breathed dry NOS gas at the dentist's office.

                          this will not happen, studies have shown that prolonged (days and days) exposure to N2O cause the inhibition of the production of methionine (the precursor to all other aminos). this occurs in the bone marrow. i am talking about a 1 liter bottle. this would hardly even cause a slight feeling, if any. we already breathe this stuff on a daily basis and it goes straight to the ground to a cooler place. it already makes up a larger percent of our atmosphere than does free oxygen. most of our planet's oxygen is bound to rock and soil.

                          i wish... it might make a flatulent smell due to its mixing with a very low (990ppm, i think i read for auomotive grade, you can obtain legal amounts of pure for legal use, which this might fall under) ppm of sulfur dioxide,which is in our atmoshphere already. i use to work in a lab that tested air/water/soil for biohazards. i've also worked in a vetirinarian's office administering the pharmaceutical grade NOS, which is devoid of sulfur and has a naturally sweet smell. and yes woot, it is non-flammable, and is exhausted since it is mixed with the fuel of every passenger liner that takes off. that, and cars make up the largest amounts of this greenhouse gas. in labs across the country they use NOS as an oxidizing reagent. i really could go on and on... but i wont.

                          *http://physchem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/glossary/asphyxiant.html
                          i figured i would choose oxford since they are the foremost on the english language.

                              Why such an expensive gas? Wouldn't a fan or water cooling do just fine? Is nitrous oxide even stored at a cold temperature?

                              Feh, it seems like it would be an obscenely expensive and cumbersome way to just get a couple more mhz out of your CPU.
