|  Recomended useage for Phase cooling?
I was just wondering. From what I've gathered so far, phase is good for benchmarking and literally freezing you proc.. But, what are the recommended use times to prevent condensation? I mean, I benchmark occasionally, I game occasionally (somewhat frequently) and my laptop will run Photoshop without a problem..
Is it a practical system for somewhat frequent use?? 4-8 hr gaming stints? Has anyone come up with a design to trap or evac the condensation?
I've always wanted to freeze my CPU, and since I've found P.C. cooling, it's had my attention.

I don't think it would be much useful for anything besides benching, just like any form of extreme cooling.

Expensive, risky, loud, not very practical for every day use.....did i mention expensive....very expensive. A Decent kit with the cpu attachment as well can run you well over 1k.

Take a look at the OCZ Phase change unit. They have it on their online outlet store.
It won't handle a Quad, but should be fine for your average C2D. | |
