cool domains i just got

You do know that running liquid nitrogen over your PC would result in a speed decrease don't you?

The only reason cooling has significant advantages in over clocking is because more heat can be disapaited into the cooler surroundings allowing more current to be pumped through the chip.

As the device gets colder though the semiconducting silicon begins to insulate,
the thoery of supercold superconductors only applies to metals, it does not apply to semiconducting silicon

nitrogen got a cpu up to 5ghz i dont see i speed decress there.
no, but as the medium is cooled down the electrons loose energy and travel slower, that is why more and more current has to be pumped into the device.
It is also worth noting that the domain (either P type or Ntype) o fthe semiconducting material the chip is made from decrease in dominance as the material is cooled, theoreticalls reaching a point where there is no sense is ever doping the silicon to make it either P or N.

My point is cooling alone will not make the chip run faster.
Cooling is becoming increasinly more important in computers because of the higher currents being used to get more speed increases.
