Heat-tolerent computers.

Here is an idea for the future which could buy some time with increasing
computer performance:

Start designing entire computers which are very heat tolerent.

So illiminate all components which are low heat tolerent like plastics/pcb's
and such.

Replace everything with maybe metals or so which could be high heat
tolerent.

Then these systems could run up to maybe 100 degrees of heat maybe even
more.

These systems would then have to throttle down in the summer when it's hot.

But they could also throttle up in the winter when it's freezing cold.

And then these computers could function as a replacement for "home heating"
and at the same time give nice processing performance ! ;) =D

Bye,
Skybuck.

Start? It's been done for years. Ruggedized computers designed to
operate in the "industrial" and "military" temperature ranges are
available off-the-shelf.

You won't like the cost. Using heat-resistant, long-life parts comes at
a significant price.

"
And computers that operate over 100C are available, but even more spendy.
"

Lol, ok, I am going to give you a really cheap reply:

"Start designing heat-tolerent computers for consumers" ! ;) =D

So start designing "heat-tolerent-consumer-grade-computers" which john doe
can afford as well ! ;) =D

Bye,
Skybuck =D

The main reason why this hasn't been tried is because the
microprocessor itself is not very heat tolerant.

I don't believe this.

I think I have seen pentium III chips run at close to 100 degrees celcius
maybe even over up to 110 degrees celcius.

Perhaps you thought I ment farhenheit ?

I worked a few years in the packaging department at IBM Research. (It
was a great place actually--that's where I made the infrared antenna
coupled tunnel junction detectors.) Even though I'm not a packaging
guy, I palled around with them and did some consulting for them, and in
the process learned a lot about this stuff.

The man-years of wasted effort that ROHS caused was criminally
irresponsible.

Was this the fab that IBM had trouble getting useful JJs out of after
a shut-down?

So, Yet Another Skyfuck Careening computer build bit the dust, eh?

Jeeze, dude. Just buy a freakin' Dell and give up trying to build
anything...and I mean ANYTHING...
