I have a college project about computer cooling, and it requires mandatory Excel chart with geeky numbers and such. I can't find much info about comparing these head on, I think the best way would be list how much watts they will dissipate, but vendors rarely put that info. Can someone elaborate on these please?
Ok, I will use the most effective stuff out there for each method.
Air cooling - Noctua NH-D14 [Max dissipation ?]
Water cooling (mainstream CPU closed loop) - Eisberg 240L [Max dissipation ?]
Water cooling (high-end complete solution, CPU+GPU) - Aquaduct 720 XT Mark V [Max dissipation 1400W]
Peltier [Max dissipation ?] - lost on that one, my guess is more effective than water
Phase change - LD Cooling PC-V2 [Max dissipation 300W?] It does say 300W on the specs, but it will look that phaser is way less effective than w/c. I think it can theoretically do much more, maybe 3000W?
Oil submersion [Max dissipation ?] - dunno much about this one, very custom stuff, hard to calculate dissipation, maybe 2000W? Hardcore Computer used to sell custom PC's with 4-way SLI and top CPU.
Liquid nitrogen, dry ice - this one is not for normal use, and it probably will be over 9000W, heh, no point in including that in the graph.
I know the possibilities and variables are endless, but my idea is to simplify it to sort of car-level logic that anyone can understand, like there's 4-cylinder 180hp (air), V6 300hp (water), V8 and so on. Scientifically precise numbers are not required, just an estimation will do.
