No your the one who is missing the point! It doesn't matter how fantastic the nano pies are at moving heat, it still has to be disapated somewhere.
Once you start using a conventional heat exchanger, be it heatsink & fan or elaborate water cooling your dependant on that system to remove the heat. Its that system that will make the biggest difference to the die tempreture, NOT any fancy on die nono tube heat spreading technology.
The capacity to move the heat off the chip will be dependant on an external system. That will be (as it is now) the bottle neck. It wont actually matter how fast the nano tubes can move the heat around.
As for a flow of tap water, not only is the environmentally untenable, tap water contains all kinds of impurities (including biological). There is a very good reason for water-cooling rigs to use a combination of deionised water and various chemicals to prevent corrosion & growths.
You still have to do something with the heat, nano pipes will just move it from one part of the die to another. The article makes no mention of radiators or heatsinks which will be needed to take the heat from the chip and dump it into the surrounding air.
Once you add a conventional heatsink to the mix this just becomes another aid to better cooling efficiency - like using a copper cold plate or thermal paste.
Lets just hope that "the fuel" doesn't go the way of printer ink, highly over priced just for the tech market and warrently invalidating if you use a generic product.

So you have a unicycle that retracts its wheel when you reach 12mph, awesome!
IE6 does work but its not exactly what I would call stable (difficult to tell if its IE or Wine thats to blame)

....VB with option explicit set to off!
Its common practice to just swap out the defective part with a replacement these days anyway.
Beacuse nobody on /. uses lexmark rubbish?
... the evil bits ?
Kai Makisara: o Change Kai Makisara's email address So glad that finally made it in....
Since when were you allowed to strap a small aircraft to your back and call it skydiving?
But does everyone in China have a credit card?
