Today OCAU has a review of the "Titanium" version of Asetek's new
VapoChill Mk 2 Premium Edition. This is a vapour phase-change
cooling system for your CPU, wrapped in a very attractive custom
case. It's capable of lowering your CPU temperature well below
ambient - in fact, below zero degrees C! This in-depth 7-page review
covers refrigeration theory, the case itself, installation and usage
as well as overclocking results and benchmarks.

A snip:
----
For the top-speed test I booted into the ChillControl software and
set everything to what sounded like the maximum: fans to 100%,
evaporator temp to idle at -30C from the default of -15C and to not
start the system until the evaporator temp dropped to -20C. This made
a dramatic difference, with the on-die temperature reported by MBM
reaching -3C at idle and evaporator temp getting down to -29C or so,
reported on the ChillControl.
