One problem with any form of cooling is that you have to get the heat away from the silicon that's generating it and into the cooling system in the first place. For a lot of complex components (like a CPU), that's very hard to do, since there's dozens (or more, in the case of 3d circuits) of layers of heat-sensitive silicon and metal between any given component and the surface of the heat sink.
