- Old technology?
-
While getting the concentrated heat away from a small area such as a processor chip itself may require this new technology, cooling a system (especially desktop replacement laptops with 3gig processors) might be easier with an aluminum case (similar to Apple's PowerBook) sealed to contain a nonconductive cooling fluid. This is what the light companies have been doing for decades with transformers.
Most liquids conduct heat better than air (which is the insulator in an styrofoam cup) and the entire case can be a "warm" heatsink instead of just spots in the case being uncomfortably hot as stated in several ZDNet reviews (HP zd7000, Sony GRT series, etc).
There are several metal case laptops on the market so this doesn't seem unreasonable.
This might just solve Dell's Optiplex SX270's overheating problems!
Just wishfull thinking. - Posted by: kd5auq Posted on: 02/27/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
