re: computeing, the sex number 

@xenon they actually do something like that for server farms, sort of--they'll use a refrigerator to cool a coolant fluid down to below room temperature to help keep things running

re: computeing, the sex number 

@xenon it's not literally in a fridge but it's basically taking the cold part of a fridge out of the fridge and putting it on the cpus

re: computeing, the sex number 

@Felthry @xenon I was just wondering about heat pump cooling directly to the CPU die.

re: computeing, the sex number 

@starkatt @xenon well, it's directly to the cpu heat spreader at least! there's no direct coolant-to-die contact

re: computeing, the sex number 

@Felthry @xenon heat spreader, right. Dies are fragile. I should be more precise with my language :)
