Spray this inside your computer everywhere except at key places requiring cooling (like on the top of the CPU). Flood the computer with water. Passive silent cooling !
- rosser 14y agoPeople are already doing immersive liquid cooling with oils. Distilled water should be safe, too, as it's completely non-conductive. EDIT: Follow-ups, thanks for the correction.
- InclinedPlane 14y agoIt won't be safe long though, it'll slowly leach various chemicals out of the components. Eventually it'll form rust which will dissolve into the water and serve as an electrolyte, and then everything will go to hell in a hand basket quickly.
- paxswill 14y agoDistilled water is a bad choice. While deionized water is non-conductive, it can act as a solvent for so many things that almost any impurities it comes in contact with will result in the water being made conductive.
- iamshs 14y agoHeat dissipation issues can arise, besides with rising temperature the coating can lose integrity. Poor heat dissipation is the reason why smartphones don't use these coatings inside the chassis to protect electronics. PS: I work on this topic, and that is why i keep replying to every post. I am not being facetious.
- gyom 14y agoI don't know whether it's a good a idea or not, but my original thinking that you'd have enough water mass to diffuse the heat sufficiently fast so that the coating would not be be subject to very high temperatures at a given location. Obviously the heat would have to transfer to the exterior environment in some way (e.g. through the floor) so this wouldn't work with smartphones.
