P4 direct die cooling

Ballsy. Cool, but ballsy.

all i can say is fzzzzzzzt

Peiters + watercooling would have performed better

Wow, after reading it seems its a bit more difficult then just not leaking water. Jet size/distance and spray pattern seem to play a big role as well.
I wonder how far you could run with something like this? Auto anti freeze to help with heat extraction? Water chiller tank? Interesting idea for sure, but not something I'm in a hurry to implement on my machine. Last thing I need is to bump the case and here PSSSSS ZAP! *smoke*

But, definately pushing the limits of current cooling I'd say.

Prometia is more effective and safer on the CPU.

I could easily see those cpus corroding after a few months.

I agree with OulOat

My opinion is since copper is a much better conductor of heat and large blocks will spread the heat over a massive area for a proper water cooling setup will cool better. Plus this is just crazy...you basically ruin your die with epoxy and it's prone to leak which could be a disaster.

Freaks.

People with to much time and money... But it really is something different

I'd be afraid that the jets of water would slowly erode the core. It'd be interesting to see how well this setup is performing a year from now.
