I was thinking, sometime in may I am going to be having a phase change setup running cooling the gpu/vid ram/northbridge/cpu and probably the system ram as well. This means I have a lot of insulating to worry about. Why not just put everything in a vacuum? I could make a clear case that would seal air tight, have a vacuum meter on it and a fitting for the vacuum pump to connect to. This would mean that everything that needs to be cooled (everything that stays in operating temps with just normal cooling from the air) would have to be coupled into the cooling system. I don't know what one the motherboard needs this, probably mosfets, southbridge, pll and a number of other things. Kinda sounds like more work or as much work as just insulating everything but I want to play around with this idea for a bit. Surely it's been done before... anyone have results? Anyone done it? Any suggestions, comments welcome.
