CNN reports on "the computer heat problem"

[primesuspect]

CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/biztech/06/04/taiwan.heat.reut/index.html) reports on the "new" thermal problem that CPUs are facing.

"Powerful microchips are throwing off so much heat that the inside of a personal computer is hotter than Death Valley, helping Taiwan firms specializing in cooling components post sizzling sales."

No mention of PressHot by name, but I think we all know who they are talking about here.....

I thought PressHot the moment I saw the title of the thread. ;D

.....

The result should be cooler computers requiring less costly cooling components, as well as fewer embarrassing accidents.

British medical journal The Lancet in 2002 reported the case of a man who used a notebook computer on his lap for about an hour -- and developed blisters on his scrotum.
:wtf:

Ok... They could've left that bit out.

I guess the banner in my signature is telling the truth then? ;)

I heard the story about the burned man as well.
Poor guy, but everything should be in working order. ;D

Yeah lol. I think this computer has donated a nice amount of heat into this already HOT room, considering it runs 24/7. :rarr: It doesn't really help that this room is about as hot as it will get this time of the year...
