Totally amazing and not dangerous cooling idea

yeah, one came with my cpu, but it dont work too well... if i try to run too many things it gets hot as f*** and shuts down, its that fx-6300 cpu

Are you sure you applied the thermal paste properly and that the heatsink is securely mounted?

The stock heatsink isn't the best but it should definitely keep your temps in check at stock settings.

idk.... NCIX boys built it for me

what water cooler is good? idk much about cooling man, all i know is i need more of it

the outer space has a temp of −270.45 °C and it's so vast that the ISS isn't even worth a grain of sand

but you also have to remember that temperature does not equal heat. you can be in a room that is 20,000 degrees celcius and feel really cold if there are only 3 particles in the room

lol if one of those particles touch you, you are so dead

no it probably wont affect you too much because 1 particle at 20,000 celcius touching you is probably going to raise your temperature by like 0.0002 degrees celcius in fact in that scenario you will freeze to death not considering breathing and pressure

Think of the vacume in your pc as the vacume of space in the universe, one of the most agreed upon ways that the universe will die is the heat death theory where the universe becomeso so hot there is another big bang.... I wouldn't recommend trying it

but like... how do they cool shit in space?

The "vacuum" of space: atoms have so much space and volume that any heat they generate has to spread out all over due to thermodynamics. It's why an atmosphere is necessary for a planet to be viable. The atmosphere will trap any radiation that enters but will stop it from exiting too quickly.

isn't space negative temps

If you mean celsius, yes.

If you mean kelvin, no. -0.15 kelvin would cause atoms to cease movement. Nearly every element would be a solid and if you believe some hypotheses, time would cease as well.

i think you got that backwards. heat will become spread out and everything will become cold and once heat ie energy is at equilibrium everywhere in the universe then nothing can happen because there would be no more transfers of energy

 

also the big bang is not a big explosion contrary to what most people seem to think it is just a very fast expansion of space

Oh look at that your right in guess I remembered it backwards lol thanks

ok, guys

lets just end this post

the way a vacuum works is compleatly different to how a vacume in space works

the vacuum in space is blasted by radiation from out sun

a vacuum in your computer is not

a vacume in space is sub-zero

a vacume in your case would be the same temp as the outside air

 

this idea would not work in real life, it would be impossible

 

can any mod reading this post please lock this thread so no one else thinks they can have a sub-zero CPU just by taking all of the air out of the case

so, what you're saying is i should use my pc as my heating system? How do i do that?

Won't be really easy. Or is if you want only to keep your room hot 24/7. In space outside of craft is cooler than inside. So to keep inside within living conditions, water used to cool supercomputer is then circulated around the ship before its used to cool again. With PC coolers using air in your room and dumping it back again will do same in smaller scale. Except your rooms temps change according to outside temps. Which is why people living in hotter environments complain when their super-hyper-powered-gaming-pcmr-beast makes their rooms like sauna in middle of summer. If you want to know what happens when amateur in normal living conditions want to move heat from PC to out of the house (or use it as heating element), watch LTTs Whole Room Water Cooling series.

If by vacuum you mean reducing the ambient pressure within the chassis, then no, that would be a horrible idea.

 

The more air you remove the more heat dissipation would need to occur solely by radiative loss - ie. little to no conductive or convective heat transfer.  Your operating temps would skyrocket.

 

If by vacuum you mean drawing air through the chassis by attaching a suction device (like a vacuum system) then that would work just fine, so long as the flow was actually travelling over the important bits - heat sinks, coolers and such.

 

But if you are going to go that cray cray the better approach might be to seal the case from leaks, then drive air through it from an HVAC system with an attached ESD particulate system.  Then you'd be sending a flow of cool, dry, dust free air through the system.
