Well, my thinking is that the cooler the chip, the slower the 
degradation from whatever reason.  So if you cool the chip ten deg C, 
it should last twice as long since the chemical activity doubles with 
every ten deg C.

But then I have no idea what's causing the problem.  It may have 
nothing to do with chemical activity.
