Comment Re:Water kicks butt, but.. (Score 2) 319
A computer manufacturer out west (the name escapes me) has been selling air-cooled machines that operate at below freezing temuratures for at least a year, now (sure, they're $30,000, but that's beside the point). I believe they can squeeze about 10mhz out of a proc just by cooling it.
The horrible fact is that most materials change density according to temperature. The world works because water is one of the few known substances that expands when cooled (the other being a rare form of tungsten). A great idea would be to seal the proc, and ice that very carefully. Even better, oil that. The smaller the setup, the easier it is to cool.
If i might ask, why exactly does this guy want to cool his machine so radically? Most people just buy a couple of fans or a heatsink.
