Apparently they like it hot; similar rumours are heard around the back
rooms here also. Indeed there's more .....
The ambient temperature of some locations for computer operation in the
Australian summer are sufficiently high to take concern over CPU
temperatures beyond mere academic speculation. My shack temperatures can
get as high as 40C on the hottest of days. Others would be similar.
Make that the "cooling" source for a CPU running at, well, a starting
point of 60C to use the example given, and you have a promising recipe for
steam.
I've heard one report that some of the new fastest CPU's did not survive
last summer and simply expired from heat stress. 'Not saying what brand
though...
Initially I thought reports of a fluid cooling system for CPUs - not
altogether dissimilar to that used on internal combustion engines - was a
hoax. Imagine the potential for complications if this catches on.
Slow and cool is the way to go..... Especially for a machine that spends
most of its time monitoring packet traffic.
