Aud Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) For all you nay-sayers, you've obviously never heard of: MAGICAL ICE CUBES!!! I believe that PureLegend is a genius, simply from the fact that every 3rd word in his posts is either smart or genius. I'm pretty sure I'm kidding, I think.

Dysphoria Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Duct tape. Yep, I'll second that. Every great invention goes with duck tape. Maybe you can duck tape the iceblock to the heat sink. There is goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Lol @ the topic. Anyways, your idea isnt bad AT ALL, the principles sucks, ok :p, but the materialized idea exists already as Phase Change for the refrigerator idea, and Dry Ice Cooling for the ice idea... Dry Ice its used in a copper tube, before you must insulate (im not sure of the word) the motherboard so it dosent freezes, then you put the Ice in the Tube and drop Alcohol over it, so it goes into reaction and cools :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pc_Madness Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 How about a CPU in space (really, in space)? :D What is the temperature of space? Is it constant? (obviously when its not in sunlight) What? That's news to me. It can be anything below 0 C. I'll come to PureLegends defense by asking a stupid question, but I thought that water freezes at 0c? Hence why Antartica is like.. cold and stuff.. cos its always in minus.. you know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtermia Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) How about a CPU in space (really, in space)? :D Although space could be considered relativley cold without the presence of light... Current CPUs have transistors so small that if they aren't sheilded rays outside of the visible spectrum radiation can cause microfluctations in voltages causing parity errors (its enough voltage change to switch the gates). This is a known problem with space based electonics :) Plus as the would be generating heat inside its sheild with no easy way to transfer the heat away..... humm :) "What is the temperature of space? Is it constant? (obviously when its not in sunlight)" well assuming you mean a complete absence of energy and matter it would have no measurable temp but just by taking a measurement you are effecting the space you are measuring. of course that is all realative... If you mean "space" as in the area between us and the moon... there is still a small ambient temperature http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/Eddington-T0.html Edited December 28, 2006 by eXtermia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrack Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Ice is more of an insulator then water. Ice water would conduct the heat off of the copper or brass channels quicker then just a cube of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
