"Yup, I've seen this server issue before. Someone didn't thoroughly drain their pasta. Server death by ziti. When will people learn?"

can I use my pc heat to power a pressurized electric motor which I can use to power my pc?

Most people forget to add fluid to their car radiators, how are we going to get them to add water to a computer?

Oh great, now when I buy a used computer I'm going to have to check if they put black pepper or broke an egg into it or something before putting it up for sale.

Old tricks are the best tricks, unfortunately.

This is new? IBM was water cooling computers before most of us were born. They were water cooling components in the late 70's early 80's. See link:

@strider_mt2k: You're right, old tricks are the best.

O_oa this is new? uhh...

I dunno. I mean, seeing the failures of leaking G5 Powermacs (the Power6 evolved from the PPC) I'm leary of anything liquid near my HAL.

I can see it now:

"Fire up the environmental simulations, I want to take a hot shower."

"CRAP! Don't run Crysys! I nearly lost my skin!"

@feckineejit:

according to the the physical laws of energy conservation: no

It's an interesting idea, similarly, fuel cell system boost their efficiency by salvaging waste heat and putting it back into the system. Hey if we can use the heat for something why not.

@rockntrumpet: what i was going to say. There are ways to use heat to generate electricity, wich in turn can be pumped back into the system

@feckineejit: No, but it would be pretty cool to think that the excess heat from your GPU could run your sound card.

Add a little Nescafé to the water, and the processor will take you anywhere in the universe.

@dfwguy: Before most of us were bor in the 70's and 80's?!?! Holy crap does that make me feel old!

I'd make ramen with that.

@theorie: Plus, taking energy from a heat engine would counteract the cooling system, so you'd need some kind of liquid-cooling to keep the chips cool.

Wait...

@dfwguy: First of all I was 17 when IBM made the "thermal conduction module".

Second, that's not water cooling, that's helium cooling through an aluminum heatsink. The Power 575 skips the heatsink altogether, pumping water to within microns of the processor's core.

Finally, gerroff mah lawn!

if we have that in laptops we would have to connect it to a tap lol

@Ghede: lol

@Curves: Just use one of these in the supercomputer! [www.thirstylight.com]

@minjae: taptops?

nice computer graphics

What happens when you have a thunderstorm and the water pipe gets electrocuted? Bye bye 5ghz processors.

@feckineejit: Yes, but that will only be able to power some of your computer – for example regenerative brakes on an electric car are around 20% efficient.

@Kinglish: Someone please banhammer this retard already.

@strider_mt2k: Agreed. And while "retard" certainly applies, might I also suggest "nincomPooP"?

It looks like dancing lights.

Uhh... It's not the first CPU to break the 5ghz barrier.

A few overclocker's have taken CPU's past 5ghz using liquid nitrogen.

Here's a video of a guy doing it with a damn Pentium 4!! lol

+ Watch video

Does anyone else find it creepy that all those identical houses are linked to IBM's building? It seems very big-brother-ish.

cloudcomputing + hot water for a town?
