Easy Liquid Cooling

clowns789 · 2003-10-25, 15:25

I used a 1/2 cm diameter plastic tube, usually used with test tubes to connect them. It is about a meter long. What I did was, I filled the tube with water and then I put duct tape on one side. It then made a vacuum. You can then put it under the computer if it is a laptop or ground desktop or maybe even inside if it is a tower. On some computers like that it's easy to open and close the door. When the tube gets hot, you can throw it in the freezer for a minute.

Also you could use a gelpack or something.

Don't put it inside the tower. There is a risk of leakage.

Even if it does not leak, it may condense water on the outside and that water may drip.

In either case, you have a risk of water causing short circuits.

Cleaver Idea, but it sounds like it needs a lot of attention

Another crazy idea is you could put a computer in a shopping bag and put that in a cooler filled with ice.
