My measurement technique was extremely simplistic - how much wall clock time does it take to do this computationally-intensive task. It ran faster with ice water, and even faster with the liquid nitrogen (until it died from condensation).

I truly don’t understand why this anecdote seems to be offensive - but let me assure you, I’m claiming no scientific discovery or prodigious understanding of cpus here.

It was neat - computers, liquid nitrogen, color charts.. in the early 90s. That kind of shit got you scholarships back in the day.
