Winter Overclocking and Frosty Phase Change

One nice thing about overclocking in the winter is taking advantage of the lower ambient temperatures.  Not only does it help get a few more MHz from my air cooled graphics cards but also helps to lower the temp of my phase machine.  Normally it runs between -35c and -45c but in the winter I can get around -50c with a little more capacity.

Another benefit, if you can call it that, is frost.  Yes, we all know frost is a normal occurrence in the winter and a problem during extreme overclocking but, in the High Deserts of Idaho the summertime humidity is around 10% to 20% making frost build-up somewhat rare. 

Things change in the winter months where the humidity jumps up to around 80% on most days and allows me to get some nice frost shots.  Keep in mind this photo is of the POM section of the phase head so while it is cold enough to frost up it is actually quite insulated.
