cooling

No more fried GPU for me.

Maybe, just maybe, it's on the wrong side.

How to replace your laptop's broken CPU fan without all the hassle.

From the submitter:

A do it yourself computer tower fan. The fan and Power Supply went out on our computer tower so my husband came up with this..and it works.

Because keeping it cool is more important than keeping dust out. ~Not-So-Handy Andy

That computer is never going to overheat ever again.

"We tried again, but with liquid nitrogen. My coworkers halve already threatened me if I go near their liquid argon supply. This is what happens when scientists get toys to play with. Inside the cooler is a plastic jar with liquid nitrogen up to a mid-point in the jar. The fan blows down into the jar, and the cool air comes off the side out of the second fan."

"Hey man, the cooler's broken again. What should we do?"

"... Go get some science, we'll use that!"

From the submitter:

My broadband got changed from 10Mbit to 100Mbit and my cheap routers kept burning up.

Going broke to buy a ultra-high-end gaming PC and not having any money left to cool it properly? Worth it.

This is what happens when you get a plumber to fix your air conditioning!

For those of you who might be a little bit confused, a GPU heat sink is supposed to look a little something like this. The one pictured is about as useful as a fan with no blade!
