Cryogenics and the Modern Computer




If you have ever played a video game on your computer you may have noticed the sound of your fan bumping up into overdrive. You may have felt the heat from the ventilation burning up your table, desk, or even bed. Leaving your computers run for days on end until -blip- your computer shuts down. Hopefully not many of you have had it escalate to such a high degree, but you get the idea. Computers have always needed a way to keep cool in order to run their programs, and keep up their resolution. For those of you have a wad of cash in your back pocket ready to spend, heres a look at one of today's advancements in science and technology; Cryogenic cooling for your computers processor. The name practically gushes mother of all geek super engineering!

From the beginning of the first computer fan, science has been developing new ways to help keep computers from overheating, and allowing them to process and run at elevated levels. Along with a form of water cooling, the cryogenic cooling has also become a new field to computer engineers at www.digitalstormonline.com/cryo-tec.asp
Digital Storm.

The science involved has pipes running through your computers tower connecting to a machine that uses cryogenic freezing to ice cap the metal above the processor. Measuring degrees of -14 degrees Celsius you would most definitely not want to stick your tongue on this monster. With the use of this technology it is possible to overclock most computers installed with it beyond normal standards, to a whole new level of efficiency.

Digital Storm gaming computer with Cryo-TEC cooling systemThe cryo freezing comes from the main component that initiates the freezing, and then it forces it through inclosed pipes that connect to a metal top against your processor which literally freezes over. Other portions of the pipes go throughout the computers tower to help keep other components cooled as well as the CPU. So for those of you who are big time PC gamers, you might want to keep an eye on this technology, and how it expands in the future. Unfortunately as previously stated, “wad of cash” This product goes for anywhere between $3000-$8000. So unless you're willing to live in the computer, most of us below the upper class will be waiting a few more years before we buy something similar to Digital Storm’s Cryo-Tec.
