>>Alternatively you could fabricate a water cooled heatsink. Now that would be >>novel, although I believe that certain large super-computers use water >>cooling too. >> I got incensed recently about ripping a fridge/freezer apart and using it for cooling, and did actually come up with a theory that would work but that required far more electro/mechanical skill than I could lay claim too. However after scouring the net for a while I found a company that seems to have come up with a similar idea (I took an evening to theorise it and they seem to have taken $5million to fulfill it...) but if you're interested in super-cooling, the address is: http://www.kryotech.com/ The main drawback to what supercooling might allow is that motherboards only go to a certain multiplier, possibly therefore not allowing fulfillment of the full potential of such a system. Then again I don't know just how fast the chips could be pushed (anyone?) Hopefully someone will come up with a radical (and v. cheap) idea to supercool chips. - Simon
