Who wants some tea? Water is boiling!

[adamiakadam00]

I did it for fun. Cpu and motherboard survived. Even after it got wet and dry.

Poor little thing...

You monster!

Always wondered what would happen if one did that. I figured there would be enough of a leidenfrost effect to render it useless as a cooling mechanism. What were the CPU temps like? If I'm not mistaken what you posted at the end was the water temp right? What about CPU temp? Was the water an effective cooler?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Ahhhh, those days when it would take 2 mins from cold boot to ready desktop

 

[natr0n]

Needs more bpm. Put an egg in there.

 

[Tomgang]

Cool to watch.

Now try with out any cooling at all.

 

[lyra]

i love dumb stuff like this so much

This was my initial thought, I wonder if the water depth played a role in combating the effect.
Very cool test!

I done the same video with better cup sealing. Better quality (fucused) with water temperature measuring.

Temps? hmm 100ml of water should cool down CPU below 100°C up to 10 min. Its hard to check real temp of the CPU core. As you C, water changes to steam at core surface so, real temperature of core is about 90-100°C. MB thermal monitor shows half of that temp. On the CPUs core after all I found white coating with is a effect of vaporing water. Its just a water contamination (minerals?)

That kind of cooling its not the best or safest variant . Its just an experiment. Core does not heat up on whole surface evenly. Left side of core produces more heat than right.

As we C on above img. On the right side of the palomino core - there is small area witch is a CPU cache. It is much cooler than true core.

When enthusiasts talk about watercooling for their CPUs, this isn't what they had in mind....

That's what I figured. Due to latent heat transfer and the leidenfrost effect I wouldn't expect the water to be able to effectively cool the core below 100C. The only variable that might save it would be if convection in the water provided enough circulation, effectively acting as a "pump" in the same way we do with water cooling loops. But the water would have a much worse time transferring that heat to the air once it got to the top of the liquid. So given enough time, I'd expect the water to be at 100C as well and evaporate away. And I'm with you on the particulate matter being deposited on the core. I assume you used tap water, which has trace chemicals and minerals in it. Maybe using true distilled water would keep that from happening.

I'm fully aware it's just an experiment, and not a feasible solution... Just curious about the results.

 

[adamiakadam00]

Hmm maybe it is a solution.......... but not with water. With special liquids.

Its briliant!. It does not damage the hardware, its non toxic, its not an oil, it recirculates........ boiling teperature 37 celcius

 

[Vayra86]

Brilliant thread, this. Kudos @ OP

 

[XiGMAKiD]

I thought OP would put some tea leaves into it

Is this your idea of water cooling .

 

[newtekie1]

Now do it with a Northwood!

 

[adamiakadam00]

U mean Prescott

 

[Toothless]

You really mean GTX480

 

[newtekie1]

U mean Prescott

That works too!

 

[R-T-B]

You really mean GTX480

You mean GTX580?

 

[Toothless]

You mean GTX580?

I mean R9290x

 

[R-T-B]

I mean R9290x

Meh, R9295x2

Or HD2900XT. That thing still gives me nightmares.

I'll raise you one and say 4790k on stock cooler.
