Tiny Bubbles Key to Cooling Crazy Hot CPUs
Smaz writes "With future CPUs expected to generate as much as four times the heat of today's processors, wicking away that heat remains one of the biggest engineering hurdles in the biz. Researchers at Purdue have developed a pumpless liquid-cooling system that removes nearly six times more heat than existing systems. The trick, it seems, is in the tiny bubbles. From the Science Blog."
you will hard boil an egg rather then fry it on your P12 256bit quad CPU.
darn, all have to get a new recipe book.
Tiny Bubbles
Running WINE
Make me happy
Make my PC feel fine.
Tiny Bubbles
Make me warm no longer
With a feeling that I'm going to cool you
Till the end of time
So here's to the Boilermakers
And here's to Purdue
But mostly here's to a cooler CPU

Happiness is like peeing yourself. Everybody can see it but only you can feel its warmth.
They mention bubbles in this article - well, it's common knowledge that bubbles in Guinness defy gravity !
So maybe these chips will be served with a Guinness cooling agent ?
A 500 year old cooling method can't be wrong !
I love my chips with Guinness !
Hic, arrrr
A slashdotting - you get the stick first and then the carrot !
VAPORware!
yeah, had to say it and couldnt find it said with 1 sec search.
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
Today's computers use fans and heat sinks containing fins to help cool circuitry.
That's the problem with today's technology. We keep using Fish in our hardware. No wonder the experts predicted that the smaller the channel, the less heat that would be dissipated (paraphrasing). The fish they were using would not be able to fit though the small channels, thus causing the channel to be blocked!
It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
This explains why the Star Trek control panels are always exploding. It's not that they routed main power through a switch on the panel, it's that the fancy-assed graphical display needed a terahertz-class processor to render the warp field display in real-time. That last Romulan disruptor blast just dislodged the heatsink for a few milliseconds and {poof}.
Oh, and I apologize for my horendous spelling but you don't have to spell to run a nuclear reactor.
Very true, Homer. Very true.
