While waiting for the water-cooling or ionic-cooling system to hit the market, why not try out this home-made but effective solution to keep your computer super cool. A paper-made cooling pipe directly connected from the main air con duct of the building surely can keep your computer freezing and its performance is always up to par!

The system most usually used is the ventilator assembled on a radiator (the radiator is a metal plate comprising of the wings which makes it possible to improve the exchanges of temperature between the processor on which it is assembled and the ambient air). The ventilator can also be assembled directly on the processor, but cooling will be worse; sometimes a small metal plate intercalated between the ventilator and the processor helps to dissipate the heat of the processor. The ventilator must be bulkiest possible (choose for example a special ventilator Cyrix 6×86 M1, famous to heat enormously) to allow a mixing of important air which will also contribute to the ventilation of the case…
Some afficionados of the overclocking use a conducting paste (heat, standard silicone) between the processor and the ventilator to have the best possible exchange. There are also ventilators equipped with an alarm (connected to the loudspeaker of your computer) which will start in the event of damage of the ventilator. Indeed a breakdown of ventilator can directly cause the death of your processor. This is why this type of ventilator is advised when you overclockez your processor in way sévére.
Lastly, there are elements intended to ensure an excellent cooling: they are the plates with Peltier effect, which act a such heat pump, by strongly lowering the temperature on a side (the side of the processor), but by heating the other, which must be cooled by a ventilator. This type of system is advised for the overclocking!
Ventilation is, it also, very important because it is the mixing of the air of the case which will make it possible to evacuate heat, that the elements provided to the air, outside. Therefore an “ordered†case makes it possible to minimize the obstacles with ventilation. Indeed tablecloths of the disks hard (in particular tablecloths SCSI, which are very broad), if they are located in front of an element which heats (in front of the processor for example) will harm the circulation of air and are likely to cause an overheating (even for non-overclockés processors…).
However the process of paper cooling here shown is also very high technical & will be really useful as a cooler….but whats about the space consumption?

Of couse the kind of big paper-made (looks like paper) pipe simply takes up lots of space. Only you have no choice for any other kind of cooling system then probably you have to connect directly from an air con duct …hahaha..
