New 3D CPU Water Cooling Method

Posted by timothy on from the mmm-water-cooling dept.

captain igor writes "According to this story on Wired News, a new company launched by researchers from Stanford has come up with a way to layer a silicon network of tiny tubes on top of a microprocessor. The system then uses a solid-state motor (no moving parts!) to pipe cold water through the silicon network. According to the article, this system can handle 1000 watts (yes, a kilowatt) per square centimeter."

      Their 3D water containment temporarily went to 2D.

      Either that or Perl sucks.

    Death can come from US at any time, in any pussy.

    Goombah99,

    Clearly this was just a quick followup, but I thought you might appreciate a little tip and a pneumonic.

    You said, "Yep you're answer is better than..."

    In that sentence, you mixed up the common homonyms (sound alikes) "your" and "you're".

    The word "you're" is a contraction for "you are", and hence isn't the right one for this sentence. The easiest way to remember it until its habit is to substitute the full phrase in your (not you're!) sentence, and see if it works:

    "Yep you are answer is better than ..."

    That makes it clear that the word you're (you are!) looking for is "your".

    Good luck, and here's some GrammarFairy dust for you:

    `.,"'.,`','",
