Less then zero

"While it might not keep your CPU below zero, it should ensure that the die temperature doesn't go above some 30 C even at full load on quad cores."

In general, processors running below zero degrees celcius aren't a good thing. There is a reason why microprocessor vendors spec their parts from 0-85 or 0-105 and charge a premium for -40dC support. Feel free to do a search on "digital logic" "race condition".

Refrigeration, a minor correction....

The condenser is where the vapor is condensed into a liquid. This allows it to release the heat it picked up from the evaporator.

Strangely enough, the line going TO the condenser is cold, and the smaller line that goes to the evaporator is the hot one!

As the liquid evaporates in the evaporator, the temperature drops, ready to take the heat away from your electronics so you can frag away...or OC as far as you want.

Whoa

Seems that its able to keep the CPU so cold, that its able to operate, without RAM!

Just one question

Is it totally silent?

Bring it on!

Bring it on! I'd have this over watercooling any day.

Fantastic idea.

There's no need for sub zero unless you're doing some serious overclocking, this will be brilliant for the everyday gamers who like to overclock just that little bit.

If this comes out, I'm buying it.

Eco-friendly?

Any idea what the power consumption of this cooling set-up is? While I realise that enthusiasts aiming for over-clocking bragging rights probably don't care how much energy they use, if Thermaltake intend to make this kind of solution mainstream they'll have to make it appeal to the average user in the same way water-cooling manufacturers have done.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
