Steve,

Re: Liquid cooling PIII/Xeons etc.

I think its a good idea and I think Kryotech started out with Intel chips initially. They have been doing AMD's for a while (without much volume I imagine) as well as Alpha's.

If I was Kryotech I would be appluing it to as many CPU's as possible.

If the volume builds up I imagine they should be able the costs down to under a $100. Not bad for a 20-30% clock speed boost.

If they do the memories and chip sets as well perhaps they can get 133 SDRAM to clock at 200Mhz.

And perhaps there will be a chip soon that could use 200Mhz SDRAMs!

regards,

Kash

Steve,

What's to prevent someone from offering PIII's or Celeron's with the Kryotech cooling system and boasting of > 1Ghz speeds.

Nothing, other than the fact that PIII and Celeron won't run at that speed.

Tom Uberclockermeister was able to tack on a Kryotech cooler, originally meant for a K6-3, onto a Celeron 400. Then he overclocked the system to 618 MHz (103x6). It's not 1 GHz, but it was enough to outperform a Pentium III 500 MHz.
