The fact that 2 and 2 haven't been put together yet its astonishing and testament to humanities lack of creative will to change for the better. Especially in an industry that is the forefront of human innovation in many ways.

Dear mods, You are turning this into a negative debate thread. My intention from the beginning was to create an idealization thread of a practical cooling solution that will undoubtedly be used in the near future. I know people hate change, and scoff, and mock, and attack it until its...

I want you all to imagine the equivalent of nitro cooling performance as a standard in cpu/gpu cooling. This is the end goal and technically it is possible AND practical - and I can guarantee your childrens children will see its equivalent in their gaming rigs lol.

I find it amazing that this has been done by Thermaltake a decade ago and still isn't widespread. A couple differences between my idea and Alphacools crap. It don't use a sealed case. It chills a liquid first, lowering thermal efficiency and causing all the extra piping to act as a radiator...

I hope I haven't stumbled onto the grail of advancing PC performance here, I don't want to change the world or nothing. But I can't see the harm in giving gamers, renderers and scientists a little more computing power.

Good stuff Rubix. I was just banned at another forum for posting this so thanks for keeping me around! I would certainly be using freon as a coolant, piped directly onto the heatsink (R12 was supposedly much better and if we could legalize it for PC enthusiasts only would be great lol - was...

hurdles 1. Condensation. New case designs will be required. Think opposite of what we have now. It needs to be airtight. This will help protect your components from dust, critters, corrosion, humidity, salt etc etc and undoubtedly make them last longer (especially when they are frosty cool :))...

before I posted this thread I didn't realize there was an entire sub forum over at OC.net dedicated to phase change cooling. if anyone's interested. this youtube https://youtu.be/4d0B0Dli-1g?t=5m9s is pretty much, my exact idea with a few changes. So it's already being done, it's a matter of...

I finally figured out the PSU is overheating. If only they had a temp monitor for PSU I wouldn't have had all this headache!!!!! the fan in the PSU stopped turning, so it has just been overheating this whole time..... I was thinking about replacing the fan, but its a 135mm fan..... plus the...

still having this problem. I have ruled out the GFX overheating, as I used MSI afterburner to put fan speed at 100%, and it hasn't gone over 80 during intensive gaming, yet it still shuts down!!!!! I am pretty sure something is overheating, my powersupply is adequate (OCZ 600w) and my GFX...

I already have coretemp, it only measures my 4 cores, which are at 68c at the time of shutdown. Is this too hot?

yes it crashes when I play certain games, esp. processor intensive games such as RTS. I think I am over heating one of my chipsets? It cant be the GFX< 90c is hot, but not hot enought to shut it down, I am sure my gfx doesnt go above 95 as I dont OC it and stress tests it doesnt go past 91c...

Sorry, its a OCZ 600w power supply, is there a program I can use that will give me better information on this? BTW what symbol is that in your avatar? I have it on my dirtbike helmet haah I always wondered if it was a nazi symbol or something? Looks badass regardless.
