I know we have had people here cool their cpu as a test setup like this before....
the setup was a jam jar filled with water and the metal cap on the cpu....
well to say the lest it didn't work... ok well not once the water got warm.
Now lets say you get a nice large metal heatsink, like that purple thing on the main page a few days ago and have a larger water source surrounding that heatsink? Only leaving the contact piece (to CPU) exposed)
if you don't mind a large water container coming out of your case that should work right? The question is how much water would you need...yes I know that depends on how hot... how many watts does the cpu put out etc., etc...
I think I may go about doing this as I have nothing better to do in my free time. So what does anyone think?
The advantage to this over a jam jar would be(well my plans)
1)heatsink still has contact with CPU
2)more water
3)not a closed water system so HOT water still will evaporate (just have to top it up)
