Water Cooling a necessity??!!!
Do you think water cooling will ever become a necessity, that heatsinks and fans just won't work anymore, or do you think they will come out with new technology to make processors run cooler, heatsinks that conduct heat faster, and fans to remove the heat more efficiently. I think by 4 GHz watercooling will be necessary.

Ya never know.... I just read an article on a expericment method of processing that suposedly takes 100,000 less energy, but a lot longer time is required to do things.. but it's one of those things that won't make it to prime time for 15 - 20 years....
3 gig doesn't take special cooling, and more attention is given to HS/fan combos. For example, my 2700+ AMD stock HS/fan combo is smaller than what I had on my 1.4 T-Bird, and it cools better. I'm running at 39°C instead of 44°C. TwoRails |

If anything improvements in materials and manufacturing techniques will reduce the heat produced by devices. Also there are many synthetic materials that are excellant at transferring heat, but at this time these are very expensive.
What most people get wrong is that effective air cooling is the newer technology not water cooling. |

Water cooling is just neat and gets you bragging rights.
 I doubt the cooling systems will move over to H2O. I think they'll stay with air cooling for a while yet. And if they actually do move to something else, it will probably be to liquid nitrogen.
