    That would be a peltier, whole different animal.

    That one is probably too small to do anything with. (IE. Fried processor).

    is that c or f

    and of course you know that water freezes at zero dont you.

    http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp?CIID=26054

    ambient temp of mineral oil flowing around the cpu was -61c and the cpu still only got down to -7c, they used one of your peliter fridges which couldnt even keep the liquid cooler than ambient, and needed nirogen pellets to get the temp right down.

    -20 for the core may require liquid nitrogen

    After adding the liquid nitrogen there was just a huge lump of frozen oil around the motherboard.
