I could just imagine sitting a discord call being like "Alright guys, I'm running low on ice. See you tomorrow"
Shoveling coal into the boiler on a steam train type beat.
A couple of things... 1. You could freeze water to match the diameter of that tube and have a solid block of ice instead of individual ice cubes, this should in theory give you even better temps due to a larger surface area, and with the drain being set as low as possible to drain out water should ensure proper thermal contact. 2. Instead of using a stainless steel measuring cup you could used a 100% pure copper cup and polish its base both on the inside and outside, this should allow for even better thermal contact. 3. If you don't want to deal with water, just switch to DRY ICE which is MUCH COLDER than regular ice, and with the right containment could provide even longer gaming sessions and even allow for extreme overclocking.
You just re-invented liquid cooling but with extra steps, and I love it
1800s:adding coal to run a train 2024: adding ice to run a computer👌
Imagine hooking this up to your ice despenser fridge, so that it would refill itself with ice automatically when required. You’d call it the "CryoCore ❄️🧊 Turbo-Rig"—a next-gen gaming PC harnessing the power of refrigerator-grade cubes.
"hey bro do you have corsair Icue?" "yeah bro i have corsair ICecUbE."
My first computer was an 11 year old Mac that would get so hot that it would burn my legs, so sometimes I would stick it in the freezer to cool it down đź’€
We have a LAN party every year beetween christmas and new year, and several years ago, my old laptop that was overheating, I had a big aluminium sheet, so i put it on my table under my laptop, and a I had a cooking pot full of snow that I had to regularly go fetch outside. That was enough to prevent it from overheating. As we were mostly playing DOW, and I was playing Orks, it was also very fitting.
7:46 he finally answers the question
Beyond being completely impractical, there's the condensation that will occur on the measuring cup and all other services that are below the room temperature
Bartender: What do you want? Customer: One CPU please, on the rocks.
>put ice in ice cooling setup >water comes out >have water go into freezer to get frozen again >have a contraption to dispense the ice from the freezer into the cooling setup
I have never thought about flipping a PC upside down. You've unlocked a wide range of possibilities
try liquid nitrogen
10:04 now this is a real GPU stress test...
Instead of steel cup Should've used a copper or alluminium can
I dont actually think having the water layer on the bottom is bad, in fact it may be beneficial. it allows a larger surface area to absorb heat, the warm water rises to the top where the ice is and then gets cooled down. It effectively acts like a heat pump. This is common in non water pump cooling called thermosiphon. Not only that, but the water itself would be at or just below freezing meaning that the thermal mass of the water would need to be heated up in order to see an increase in temperatures.
