- iProject 14y agoThanks. I missed that one. Not much cost info there but, I like the sound of: "In computers, a Sandia Cooler would mean that we could finally cross the 4GHz/150W TDP thermal wall — or build computers that are thinner and quieter."
- rkroondotnet 14y agoI think the idea behind showing an iPhone dunked into it is that the cost of adaptation is: buy vat. Even if your only change was to place the server into the liquid you get a nice bump in efficiency of cooling by having the thermal bulk of the liquid transferring heat quickly away from the hot spots. The liquid itself would then cool on contact with the air, the much larger surface area acting kind of like a big radiator.
