Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested
VL writes "Do-It-Yourself Phase Change Cooling Systems are built and used by a few folks, but they can be complicated to build, mostly messy, and dangerous; certainly not something you should get into without knowing what you are doing. But as with anything like this, there is always a turn key solution brought to market you can buy. Enter asetek, and their VapoChill series of Phase Change Cooling systems. What we have on the review bench here specifically is the asetek VapoChill Lightspeed [AC], a case separate enclosure containing a Phase Change Cooling system for your PC's CPU."

1) Go and look at your fridge.
2) If you want your chip REALLY cold
a) Host in deep-space
b) Rotate winters in the Artic/Antartic
3) If you want your chip REALLY REALLY cold
a) Get your wife to stand next to the box, then tell her you've forgotten her birthday.
4) And for the ultimate in cold, you just need to create the conditions where Bill Gates admits publically that he prefers Linux.

Why not put your PC in a transparent case and fill it with two colour oil? Then you can boast about 20th century technology - way better than the 19th century technology these guys are flogging.
Oh well, what the hell...
At sub 0 temperatures the silicon pathways freeze over and get all slippery. The little electrons slide so much faster then. That's why everything goes faster!!1!
