CPU cooling

myself i think a piece of metal and a fan is a pathetic way to cool a cpu..

I am off to think of some new ideas.

Hey, maybe i will discover something new and become a billionare =)

IM serious guys, there has to be somethign easier and more effective to cool down a cpu.
And those water pelters are stupid. to much work involved, plus its costly.

And i dont want to freeze my cpu either with that vapo chill case. i mean thinking of something to cool the chip itself and not draw the heat away by a piece of metal and a fan..

hmmm
Something cold... but wont melt or make condensation
hmmmmmmmmm

Maybe something to make the backside of the motherboard where the socket is cold..
hmmmm

ideas are coming..

--call it what you wish, with this machine I can make mercury flow in 3 directions at once--

lots of options, but none of them remarkably practical.

getting the back of the mobo cold won't help cool your cpu. I'm not even sure that chilling the underside of a socketed chip is enough, as you have to chill through ceramic (in the case of AMD) which is remarkably bad at conducting heat quickly.

Direct cooling to the cpu die is the way forward.

Possibly ambient cooling is possible providing the ambient atmosphere of the cpu heatsink is not 20 degree air.

If you could blow REALLY cold vapour/gas over the heatsink, you could attain great cooling for lower flow (i.e. not noisy fans), but the only way to get a really cold flow would be compression/expansion and closed system, well maybe an open air compressor? Compressed air may come out at very low or even sub-zero temperatures and would have a very low moisture content. It may be noisy if it is high pressure - but you wouldn't need a fan... You could run an air compressor outside your window or whatever, and run an air hose to your heatsink... Just a thougt.

metal lumps and fans are too bad... and everything else is too expensive... the ideal solution would be to have chips covering a much larger area or be arranged in a 3D lattice so that you can cool them with just a fan... no heat sink... a lump of silver with water being pumped through it is the best choice i think but still a bit expensive... i might be going for that in the near future... haveing a few dozen grams of silver in my box would be nice...

you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
