This is a wired article about some university guys that are researching wax as a coolant for future burst processors. It's pretty cool and maybe the concept can be adapted for use in cooling systems for current/unmodified CPUs and instructions. http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/08/sprinting/
There is a GIF of a current i7 being cooled with nothing but a small amount of wax for a short period of time.
