Ever thought about ice cooling your PC? They do it a lot in the colder countries, Greenland, Iceland etc. It involves placing a large block of ICE against the CPU which then draws the heat. Obviously this can only work if the PC is in a cold environment i.e Iceland or in an igloo. To emulate this environment try placing your PC in the fridge... if the ice block continues to melt try it in the freezer..... Sometimes not very WAF as you will have to find somewhere else for the frozen peas. The added advantage of keeping your PC in the fridge is due to the seals on said fridge / freezer it can run totally silently.... bliss... those fan noises can really start to damage your ears if exposed too much over time....

be careful out there....

See, water, unless pure, is a conductor of electricity (Tap water is not pure!)

On the other hand oil does not conduct electricity.

You obviously haven't read the whole forum. I previously brought up the whole pure water conductivity thing, and someone else supplied photos of oiled machines.

Doh! You got me there

I got to about page 8 or so and jumped to the end. I hoped that no-one would notice.

I got a 24 port 10/100 hub the other day. Very nice but it's also very noisy. I'm thinking about pulling out the fans and watercooling it. It shouldn't be too hard to seal it with putty or something. Anyone wanna give me some tips?

Yeah - Remember the old days with the DOT MATRIX printers and fan fold paper. Well you could get one of those sound isolation boxes that you used to put the printers in.

If you then find that its not enough, get a second sound isolation box bigger than the first. Then put the first into the second and stick your 24 port hub into the first.

Of course you can continue with this method adding bigger and bigger boxes until you reach the level of required quietness.

Sounds like Comer should have done that :P

Hi

Has nobody thought of using Dilithium crystals for cooling, or just realigning the Warp conduits and channeling them through the long range sensors to decrease the noise generated by the CPU cooling fans??

Simple really, Dura.

Dilithium crystals would be no good - they channel power. If anything they'd increase the heat. Warp plasma is also very hot, I suggest you remove it from your PC. Channeling the Warp conduits through the long range sensors will only blow out the circuits and you'll have to use old binary-style computing till it can be repaired.

Yes, but by matching the output of the long range sensors to the exact phase of the shields, the heat could have been contained and further build up would be futile.

Matching the output of the long range sensors to the phase modulation of the shields will only let you detect shields at long distance. Use your loaf.

You lot have been watching too much Star Trek. STEP AWAY FROM THE BOX-SET'S!

[ush flynn]

Comer, i read to about page 7 of this thread and was about to post about how ashamed i was to be Irish now and that i think you were to blame for all the paddy jokes but this thread was just plain hilarious well done... unless you have secretly thought about how stupid what you did was and are now trying to make out it was all made up?


ahhh got ya!!

Thanks to you ush, I can no longer tell jokes about how stupid the Irish are.

Btw, I am at least part Irish :D

[ush flynn]

you can do all the jokes you want mate dont bother me!

Don't work any more. You were smart enough to see through Comer's obvious deception. Plenty of other people weren't :D

[stevebrillo]

yeah nice one i might try some ice cubes

Hey, I read the whole thread just now - only 4 years late!

Anyway, there was one thing from the start that made the whole story sound rather dubious - nobody, not even someone stupid enough to fill their PC with water - would willingly buy a motherboard that used RDRAM! ^_^

great thread people !

this guy will be in the darwin awards if not already...........

but i just dont think that he has done what he says he has done as i dont know anyone who has built a pc that could be this stupid.

come to think of it you all should be ashamed of yourselves lol

[SirDystiC]

Having just read the first three pages of this and skipping to the end.....I'm not sure if the guy admitted he was winding people up?

I mean what kind of idiot would fill a PC with water and then not expect loud bangs? I really hope it's a wind up....in fact.....I've decided it's got to be. It's impossible for anyone to be that dumb.

Hey, I've just had a thought....maybe if I silicone up my engine bay and make it water tight and then fill it full of water.....then I can get rid of my intercooler and my turbo will run loads cooler, resulting in an extra 1000BHP!!!!

Including you

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S ****ING HILARIOUS, YOU MUST BE A COMPLETE DUMBASS TO EVEN ATTEMPT THAT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

it's been 3 years and some months, but this thread is still alive. wow!

if i ever do that book on internet poetry, this thread will be honorably mentioned...

it's all a question of flawed design, though. dipping the components in varnish beforehand should work, as it'd create a protective layer of hydrocarbonic material. i'm gonna try that out right away.

anyone willing to follow my example should do a hard disk hardware defragmentation first, as described here: http://www.datadocktorn.nu/us_frag1.php

anyway, i was happy to find this forum, as i might need some new hardware in the future (a new pc, for example...).

oh, almost forgot, hello to everybody!

[Schmooth]

You are clearly justified in your anger. Post your address up here and I'll send you a complete replacement for all the water that has been wasted.

[fuzed]

this is one funny thread, did anyone actually get down the bottom of this, whether it was fake or not... excellent read.

I got my computer full of water and fish to work.

LoL, perhaps the funniest thing I have ever read...

This was linked from another forum to do with file downloading on the ED2K network, the thread was titled "An oldie but a goodie", it was in the "Funnies" section...

First time I've ever seen it tbh, I forgot I was a member of this forum lol...

I think we should start something called "The Comer Awards"...

You people have a big responsibility and you can't just drop suggestions filppantly for others to pick up and (as in my case) ruin their gear.

As for anybody who thinks that this is funny, I spent what is to me alot of money on my PC and if you can't think of something to say without sneering at my misfotune well then I would rather not hear from you at all

Man you are soo, right, some people just don´t care about others, but don´t worry, your pc isn´t f*ck*d up, here is what you must do:

instead of using tap water or destilled water, you have to use car battery water, you know, the one that you put in the battery of your car (duh!), and it will work, the same happened to me and this fixed my pc and no noise anymore.

Remember, is battery water, not batery acid

[Sillybilly]

This is the funniest thing I've read/seen/done in absolutely ages...I laughed for at least 10 minutes and cried for even longer. Huge pat on the back for the moderators for keeping this thread alive as it's better for your health than anything the local quack prescribes.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[clarky78]

I'm still shocked you CAN actually water cool a PC!!!

You need to read a bit more, you obviousely havn't read it all.
