That's crazy. I wonder if I can increase my output from my laptop working in front of an open freezer :P

Wouldn't surprise me if I stuck it in a freezer it would stay at a higher frequency.

- barrkel 10y agoWhen we switched to laptops from desktops at work, a full build including tests took quite a bit longer and a lot more variable in time; thermal limiting appeared to be the reason for the variance.
- simonh 10y agoYou can get laptop trays that are supposed to improve heat dissipation.
- randomdestructn 10y agoDepending on laptop, quite possibly. If it's thermal throttling, then cooling is going to help. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2015/06/if-you-water-cool-the-new-apple-macbook-it-doubles-the-performance/ https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2015/06/if-you-water-cool-the-new...
