CNN 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.

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.

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

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

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