CPU Convective Water Cooling

biso writes "The possibility of cooling a CPU with gravitational convective flow of water is here analyzed and experimented with positive results. Many liquid cooling systems have been experimented by overclockers to better dissipate the heat from CPUs. The major part of these coolers is characterized by a relatively complex system requiring pumps or other active devices. Sometimes even liquid nitrogen is used. I built a simpler cooler, able to dissipate the same heat flux of a normal heatsink."

<offtopic>That reminds me -- a few years ago, I went out of town for a few days, and when I got back my old P200 refused to boot. I yanked out cables and cards in an attempt to get the old beast up and going again, and when I yanked out the sound card, it booted. Well, I put everything back together, and then looked closer at the sound card.

It had a nice, dried puddle of mouse piss on it, so I put it aside and waited for the next opportunity to grab another one.

I thought (after I'd gotten another one) that I should have called Dell tech support and discussed the problem with them:

(them) "Hello, <speil>"

(me) "Yeah, I've got a mouse problem."

(them) "What seems to be the problem?"

(me) "Oh, it sort of pissed on my sound card."

...using sponges as sound dampening material inside the case. Who knows, it just might save your computer when somebody bumps the frickin' table and dumps that bowl full of water over everything!!

that picture of a bowel of water on top of an open pc tower case is not something I would necessarily run....

Bowels of water on his PC, this is something I definitely DON'T want to see!
