Asetek's Extreme CPU Cooler Tested

Posted by Zonk on from the brrrr dept.

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."

    I prefer the nitrogen/oxygen mixture myself. I plan to move on to using a dihydrogen monoxide based system in the future, though.

    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.
