Magnetic heat exchangers to cool CPUs?
on: April 04, 2005, 02:57:21 pm
For some reason, I don't trust this. Probably the words "magnet" and "microprocessor" together.

Sounds like a glorified heat pipe to me.

:wtf: What's wrong with you people? AFAIK, microprocessors aren't affected by magnets. Magnetic storage is affected: HDDs.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Microprocessors don't like electromagnetic fields, either. Haven't you ever heard of EMI?

^With the low feilds these magnets probably use, that shouldlnt be a factor.

indeed, this prolly generates the same amount of a magnetic field as say.... the magnets that reside in most people's CPU fans.

I admit, it's more of a gut reaction than anything else. I just don't like the ideas of electronics and magnets together, even though in many things, such as CRT monitors, magnets play a vital part.

How about watercooling?  A highly conductive liquid flowing past your most valuable computer components?  How about dry ice....which is....dry....and ice.

Yeah!

i can see the news reports now

"computer user dies of C02 poisoning after using Dry Ice to cool his overclocked computer" :p

Funnily enough, I don't get a gut reaction against water cooling. Dry ice I find rather stupid, but that's due to the inefficiency of that cooling method.

That's what shielding is for.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
