I knew a guy who kept his three computers in a separate room, which he kept cooled at ~60 degrees. He ran cables through the walls into the room where used the computers and external DVD drives. He was kind of a weird guy...

Na, don't think so. You still have to get the heat out of the PC and even if you have a better cooling, if you use it that way the chip has a massive power consumption. Not that good.
Could be intressing to use that for passive cooling.

well you want a weird guy.... I had a "cyber" friend when I was a uber geek he had an IRC terminal in his shower.....
| shams said: This seems quite odd. The biggest thing that stuck out to me, is where the heat is going - its not like its sucking the heat from the chip, its just "moving it" off the chip surface. Seems to me that it would still require fans and traditional cooling - just improve the cooling on the chip surface (and maybe reduce the size of heatsinks needed). Cute idea though. I hope the electrons/ionic flow doesn't interface with the chip operation. |
Indeed fans are still needed. From what I remember of this they were having problems once you got down to a certain size chip that particles would get stuck in it and not be able to be moved by air movement alone, the ionic particles job is just to pull the particles out so that they can be collected by the air movement.
(worst explanation ever)

It seams so lol
Anyways , this means a lot , especially when your PC is ultra equiped , and your 4 coolers cant handle the job proparly .

How many years will it take to properly implement that technology?
I am a PC gamer, and also have a NDS now, but without access to a Nintendo Wii until End of 2007.
Currently playing: Super Smash Brothers Brawl(Wii), Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer(DS), Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (DS), WiiFit(Wii)
Games Recently Beaten: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Normal; Very Hard after the next DLCs become available)
1 word: RTFA
This is the same thing the Ionic Breeze uses (yeah, those Sharper Image commercials). The reason it helps cooling so much is that it moves the air directly over the cooling fins. Normally, as you blow air across cooling fins with a fan, a thin layer of air directly over the fins stays relatively still while the air above it moves. With the ionic wind method, that layer of air is moving too, which greatly increases conductivity.

I thought I was the only one that did that

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
