"We don't have any transistor behavior yet, but probably soon."A lot of hype for a 'transistor' that doesn't "transist".

That's smarter than you realize. It will run faster if cooled.

Wonder how a small Direct expansion refrigeration unit could be made for a computer. Nice little rotary compressor with a small evap coil that mounted on the CPU and some flexible lines to connect the components. Or possibly a micro sized chiller with self contained refrigeration unit and coolant pump. That would eliminate water quality problems by using a glycol solution in a closed system.

Sounds good, but you would probably need to cool the whole mother board, including RAM.

Let me guess, we'll see this in the magical place called "10-20 years from now" land?

"Water-cooled CPU." That's what motor cycle engines are going to look like if the enviro-weenies get their way...

There are cheap ways to water cool. Some times, cheap and safe are mutually exclusive though.
And not just from water damage. Pumps that wear out too quickly is a common problem.
And btb, there are water blocks for the north/southbridge chips, and hard drive attachments too.
Don't think I've seen one for psu's.

Vaporware for now. This is one guy's idea and they don't even have the basic math done on efficiency. I'm not sure why this made the news at all.

You guys quack me up.
I often send this test to folks in need of a grammar wake up call.

Put the whole computer in the refrigerator.
Yep, it's been done. As well as one in a pizza box. Wierdest one was a guy submerged the motherboard and cards in a tub of mineral oil, then cooled the oil (mineral oil is non-conductive).

I wish I could afford to do this, sigh. :^)Somewhere around here, I've got an article on doing it for about $800!
Then again, I'm not a gamer, and I really don't need to Freep faster! I freep faster than I can read as it is now (which is why I usually don't bother with actually reading the stuff I respond to, as many have remarked to me!)

But you're not completely cool until you put one of these in your computer:
Yup, that's what it is! A cigarette lighter/ash tray (PC definition is a cup holder) that fits in a standard 5 1/4" drive bay!
I got one of these for a friend's birthday a few years ago... I'm saving up for an oxygen tank cozy for him next year!

LOL Yeah, I've seen those. They have personal fans that plug into the USB ports, and all sorts of other gizmos now.

Actually, I'm contemplating taking four of my old, relic PC's that I have in storage, and building a Beowulf mainframe. Wait'll you see the modding I do to
THAT. LOL
