Hmmm, that's cheaper than I would have expected. Almost ready for prime time, it seems.Using Fluorinert (or water, for those who might prefer it) should become important when the costs of this kind of cooling give enough system performance improvements. At $180, that time may be close at hand. Hmmm, this sounds like just the solution for Intel's P4 throttling fiasco. Yep... Yep.... that's the ticket. It might just keep the die temperature low enough so as Thermal Monitor is not needed. Might even prevent all those false advertisement law suits that are probably just around the corner. I remember seeing those big 1.7GHz placards all over the place in the ads but I don't recall any disclaimers stating the following: This system, under typical real world operating conditions may overheat. Should these real world operating conditions occur, under the control of Intel's thermal control circuit (TCC), this system may be clock throttled down from an advertised frequency of 1.7GHz to an effective frequency of .85GHz.
