might want to get you a frog leak detector with this.
I think at some point someone will come up with a more organic solution to heat dissipation. Kind of like what evolution did with the male body. Heat kills sperms, so nature developed it in a way that it's stored outside of the body, and a few degrees cooler. Someone will design a computer where the chip sits outside of the computer and not in the middle of everything to kill it's performance.
^ Wouldn't make much difference, in a reasonably ventilated case the air temp is only 10C or less above room ambient temp, you'd still need a fan to move air and with the fan outside the case, more noise makes its way to the ears of those in the room instead of being buffered by if not entirely trapped by the case... assuming the case doesn't have loose panels that rattle.
I didn't mean outside and attached physically to the case. I meant it sits outside with a high speed interconnect of some sort.
Seems sort of complicated when today's solutions work. You'd still need a fan on it yet it would be an additional fan unless it was set up to have air already exhausting from the case blow over the heatsink which is close enough to what we already have with a standard ATX having CPU right in front of the rear case exhaust.
