We, the undersigned, am having serious objections to your most learned assertion that punkahs can be adding to Mobos. It is becoming bad enough for us to be working in very, very cramped conditions and, now, you be having us work inside a PC case ??

We will be having a pukka strike !!

If your precious bits get that seriously hot, then either (1) you are not doing something right or (2) you've not got her sufficiently worked up and lubricated ...

Suggested treatment: petroleum jelly

All this to save a couple of watts?

All this to save a couple of watts?

I think I'll stick with the electrically driven version - at least then the mobo can monitor (as well as control) the fan speed; better that my PC goes beep instead of bang!

Why not pass the heat through a peltier effect pump? Some of that juice could be fed back to the supply so the PC takes less power - the Seebeck Effect (that's good for more than a couple of watts anyway).

I'd always wondered if a stirling engine would cool a CPU.

Apparently not, since it's only on the north-bridge.

I'd been tempted to try this myself with a unit from Kontax, but they cost over £100.

In addition to criticising Mr Lai before checking his calculations, you refer to centigrade, rather than Celsius. The centigrade scale was abandoned in 1954 - you may not have been aware there was a difference.

Look up centigrade Celsius in google.
