Tiny Bubbles Key to Cooling Crazy Hot CPUs

Posted by Hemos on from the wick-the-heat-away dept.

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."

    The exact quote was, "The researchers found that the system was 5.7 times better at removing heat than existing miniature pumpless liquid-cooling systems."
