Know the movie, can't think of the name, but they've been doing immersion cooling in old-style (no off the shelf components) supercomputers for decades. I've got a cpu board from a Cray 1a that was immersion cooled back in the day.
If you're going down a boil-off route, you want a flat metal copper plate on the chip, with lots of nucleation zones (think like golf ball dimples on a much much smaller scale). That's the fastest for that type of cooling. If you plan on using conventional oil based then yes, big HSF is best...
The liquid itself boils off at around 35C so all components in the liquid are kept cool. Also to change hardware all you do is remove the existing hardware and replace it with new hardware. Unlike traditional oil based immersion coolers you don't need to clean off the contacts and such, it's...
I know exactly what you guys mean, I used to be an AMD man with the K6-2 > Athlon > Athlon XP > Athlon 64X2 but then performance compared to Intel dumped with the advent of C2D so I got a Quad Xeon X3210 2.13 and ran it @ 3.2 until it wasn't enough, now I'm running Hex X5650 2.66 @ 4.0 and while...
One reason for delays is that they couldn't call it the iTV due to a company in the UK with that exact name that's been in business since the 50's. Not something they can say "We came up with the name before your did but forgot to trademark it" lol
NVIDIA GPU PhysX acceleration is not available if there is a non-NVIDIA graphics processor in the system, even if it is not used for rendering.
So anyone with an Intel i3,i5 and any i7 that isn't socket 2011 / 1366. And all AMD APU's.
