It's not practical for your desktop computer, but a tank of nitrogen and some refrigeration hardware which fits in a single rack and you can run at 3.5K in a data center.
- AnimalMuppet 11mo agoNitrogen freezes at 63K. That makes it a bad coolant for a continuously-running process at 3.5K.
- jandrewrogers 11mo ago3.5K is well below the point where nitrogen is liquid. The only option would be helium.
- marcosdumay 11mo agoJust to point, but it would require actively cooled helium. You can't just drop it in liquid helium and expect boiling to cool your device.
- Pet_Ant 11mo agoCan you make a closed loop helium cooler? Also, that level of coldness seems like it would have negative interactions with other components.
- quickthrowman 11mo ago> Can you make a closed loop helium cooler? An MRI machine is a giant magnet with a closed loop helium cooler to keep the superconducting coils cold. A chiller is used to reject the heat outside.
