Could you send me some links with this new non-conductive fluids, please? Thanks :) ! Also, as far as I've read, there are some inks that people put on the liquid that could cause (I cannot remember the word in English at the moment) "bad" effects on copper or silver. Apart from the eye-candy, I...

It's all about transferring heat. On the design you posted, probably that Cu-plate attached to the heatpipes maximizes the heat transferred by: chip -> package -> plate -> heatpipes -> fins -> air through fins. We cannot tell a priori which will be better if we don't have data about the heat...

Maybe there is a niche of people who had bad experiences with water cooling kits or are aware of issues related to leaking: - pros of watercooling: more ability to cool (think of the radiator of a car as an example or the one your fridge have) - cons of watercooling: more parts involved, more...

On separate with the other discussion, this is not correct at all (sorry if I say any arguments you already know or if I missunderstood the argument given). Switching activity of the transistors is related to the heat generated at any chip using CMOS or MOSFET technology (wish I had V-I models...

(I know that I'm linking a lot of stuff from Wikipedia, but it comes handy as a starting point to people who wants to know more about the stuff talked about) The distribution I think you are referring to is this one. When microchips are made, one of the lasts steps before testing them at the...

Just registered to try to discuss several points (sorry for any misspelled words as English is not my mother tongue) for which, W1zzard, your knowledge would be very helpfull (thanks in advance): - firstly, there is one fact that has been surprising me for a long time since R9 290/290X was...
