What is inside Heat Pipes? You know, the heatsinks with Copper tubes...

it has ingredients in it that wont cause condensation

lol, this is exactly what people do for phase change cooling...

Compress some gas to liquid form with a compressor, then decompress it and it will have an endothermic reaction (a gold star goes to whoever answers why this happens ^^). Then, when the endothermic reaction happens, they use that to cool CPUs.

What is different here is that you dont compress the gas to liquid form, u take the liquid form and cool whatever it is you want to cool (because of the endothermic reaction, the liquid form of the gas is pretty cold..)

So, isn't it a lot more efficient to simply go out and get a phase change cooler? That way, you can run your comp at suicide overclocks 24/7 ^^

endothermic reaction implies a chemical process. It is not chemical. It is a thermodynamic process in which the high pressure liquid refrigerant enters a low pressure evaporator. Because of the change in pressure, the liquid refrigerant changes phase into a gas. When it does this, it is forced to increase it's entropy during the phase change process, and so absorbs surrounding heat. The gas law Pv=RT also comes into it a little, but can't mathematically describe the process because it is a vapour, not a gas which undergoes the process.

I didn't know canned air was dangerous... I should stop blowing it in people's faces now :\

Off Topic : what are you doing outside with canned air o_O

Bet you got an A in chemistry!
