::cough:: I want what you are smoking!! Take your analogy. A screwdriver isn't connected to a power source capable of producing temps of 700F. No way a cpu can be colder than the ambient temps without phase cooling/TEC. I've done watercooling for 10 years and even water running through the circuit without the computer turned on is +4C higher than ambient. My water block is cold also, but I still see temps +8C over ambient.
Also, if by chance Intel has been salvaging that UFO at Area 51 and you are really having temps < ambient, you'd also have issues with condensation. Condensation = mobo death, fried components, bonfire in the closet, etc.
