On 2001-04-19, Mike Meyer scribbled:

# Cooling has always been a serious problem for high-end CPUs. Cray was
# a better cooling system than CPU designer.  When his cooling systems
# failed, the solder in the box melted. I'm pretty sure he was also the
# first person to build a liquid-cooled CPU - and he did it in
# commercial quantities.

Cray in the last several years have always used third-party processors
and sub-components (like MIPS and Alpha processors).
