Argh.. I forgot one more question for the good ole' forum.. I was tinkering with the idea of CO2 cooling. I'm thinking a small paintball CO2 tank, some high pressure tubing or etc and a waterblock. Of course, I'm missing a compressor I assume. CO2 is cold in its pressurized liquid state (inside the tank). Now if you just skip the compressor, and have the gas just connected to the waterblock - the liquid CO2 would be in the waterblock staying cool. Now, the CPU gets hot and warms the block... I guess if the gas got too hot and expanded, then the tank would explode.. but I dont know if that'd even happen since the waterblock would be cold. Ah too much free time to think of these ideas
