Robert Re <<The parts they use are probably electronic heat pumps(you apply a current to them and they produce a difference in temperature between the two sides of the device (then you use a fan to cool off the hot side). >> LOL, WRONG!!!!! You are way off. What they are using is a simple refrigerator cycle (compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion). If you are interested look it up in any freshman level, thermo book. This is what irks me, people slamming the kryotech system without knowing the most basic thing about it. Just because they do it with AMD and not Intel it must be bad. What a load of crap. Mani

Robert, <Anything outside of this range goes against tested chip specs... If you operate a chip outside of its specs, then it is reasonable to presume that failure/error rate would be increased. > Chips are tested at AMD by people, and they create specs. Other people at other company can further TEST chips for full functionality for different temperature ranges, and take full responsibility. At least is is well known that electrical reliability is much higher at lower temperatures. <would you trust your business to something like that?> Yes. Many of MIL-883 graded parts come from third companies who buys bulk of regular parts from original manufacturer, and than perform thorough testing and MIL-std qualification of the parts, select parts that pass, and give you a legal CERTIFICATE of compliance with all proper warranties. Sometimes this is the only way to get certified components when the law requires it. Therefore your concern about overcooled devices is largerly ungrounded.
