Sounds like water cooling your CPU could take a very interesting turn if IBM have their way. Instead of pumping water over the CPU how about pumping it Through the CPU...
Two years ago, IBM announced a breakthrough with carving channels (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/10/26/ibm_chip_cooling_tech/) into chips to let thermal paste sink down nearer the silicon. Then, in 2007, IBM Zürich patted itself on the back for cutting more channels into the (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03/22/ibm_paste_spreading_scheme/) cooling unit.
