actually, they are very different. SB springs are very large compared to C4Y ones.

I'd say for the most part, the rivet is on too tight for the spring to be able to be of any use, but I'm not completely sure.

I have a storebought with original springs and everything that can almost cut whole pieces.

It may turn smoother while it is still cold but it is very unlikely there will be a permanent effect.
I noticed when cubing outside in sub 0 temperatures that mine seemed to turn smoother. Solving wasn't any faster though as my fingers where getting much slower...

Hells no. It won't explode, hopefully, but smell like ****.

I guess if you get it wet (recommend that the stickers are off) it COULD freeze the water, expanding inside the cube and stretching the mechanism, thus making it faster. This is just theory and I think I'll do that do one of my cubes tomorrow, just to see.

Hmm, I'm going to put my 4x4 in the freezer now. I don't care if it breaks.

At Mathcamp, we put one of my 80's cubes into a tub of liquid nitrogen. The cube creaked and looked frosty, but it ended up functioning like normal again (well, except that some stickers fell off...).

LOL! Liquid nitrogen! After that, you could basically just crumble it with your hands! I've always wanted to use liquid nitrogen for whatever I could think of.

A microwave won't make your cube explode... unless it's powered by 1.21 GIGAWATTS, the power found in a bolt of lightning! That could however, should your microwave have a flux capacitor, send the cube and it back in time depending on how the time is set on it!
