    Researchers look to air-condition computer chips

    Purdue University scientists have taken a page from air conditioner technology in their quest for a new way to cool down ever-more powerful computer chips. Their experimental system, which flushes a refrigerant through tiny channels cut into chips, is intended for the high-power electronics found in radar and advanced weapons systems such as lasers, said Issam Mudawar, a mechanical engineering professor at Purdue.

    I'm sure it can be used effectively in AMD's upcoming octa-core processor, Hydra

    I remember hearing something like this awhile ago. Sounds like a great idea but wouldn't electron migration or corrosion have a huge effect on it?

    How so? Sounds basically like a phase unit where the end of the suction hose is basically the IHS instead of the head.
