For those of us who are into overclocking, we know that the biggest problem encountered is keeping your components cool. Air is alright, water is pricy, phase shift is rediculous ($800-$1500). But OCZ is releasing a new Phase Shift cooling system that will retail for $299 and hopefully drop down to $200 soon after that!

Anyone who doesn't know what phase shift is...it's pretty much a freezer for your computer. They had an Athlon FX-57 (2.8GHz) overclocked to 3.2GHz and running at -25 degrees celcius while under load. That means that you could probably push that same processor...to over 4GHz if you dared...probably higher really. With temps that low you've got a pretty large ceiling!

Yeah I dunno ive got a Vapochill LS and when I compair it to that, it looks the same, almost in every aspect.

thats just for you processor tho right? so you would need another for your vid card and case assuming its compatiable. thatsl ike 600-900 bucks just to keep it cool. could just buy a processor thats already running at that speed under warranty for that price.

Shadow.......do you have a condensation problem with that thing? If not, is it sealed and insulated? Ive used watercooling/peltier combo and the thing got soo cold it would condense and drip water all over the place. What I used was a back-in-the day type deal and severely afro-rigged compared to the stuff they have now. I'd like to do something like that again, but puddles of water inside your case is not fun.
