Every day we can see how Internet users create configurations for computers that stand out for offering something that we cannot normally find, and in this case we have seen that there is one that allows us to cool a minicomputer with great efficiency. Although it is clear that it is not something we would want on our computer, since not only is it extremely large, but also the design, placing the computer in the center of a Grandmother fanit’s quite dangerous.
The Internet is a place where you can find anything, and if we narrow it down to the IT sector we can see that many people are trying to create new computer designs, or even components that seek to increase performance or improve other types of characteristics. refrigeration. In this case we could say that it is rather the second, an improvement in the cooling level of a mini PC, but with a rather particular and dangerous structure.
A miniature computer with excellent cooling
There are a large number of configurations that allow us to improve the functioning of our PC thanks to much greater cooling, since by reducing temperatures we can also, for example, apply a overclock this allows us to have superior per formance. In this case, this configuration offers completely different cooling, although we obviously advise against trying to imitate it for obvious reasons.
It is minicomputercreated by 苏打baka, allows us to see what it would look like to use a fan giant to cool a computer, although it is not created with the aim of improving the airflow of a chassis, but rather the fan itself on which the PC is mounted. And the construction is not at all simple, since it is composed of a rotating base on which is mounted a Mini ITX motherboard which integrates an Intel Sandybridge processor, and to which is then added a passive heat sink Noctua NH- P1.
The first test indicates that the processor runs at over 100 degrees, and after incorporating the heatsink it doesn’t really improve much, since the test aims to demonstrate that it can run at high speeds.
This mini PC stands out for the fact that it is not small
Generally speaking, when we talk about mini PC we obviously think of a computer that has a fairly small size, but this configuration, although it includes a Mini-ITX motherboard, is not small. And after verifying that the base works and allows it to rotate at high speed, the next step is to create the design of the “box” of the PCwhich is essentially a fan giant with dimensions similar to a normal computer tower.
As one can imagine, it loses all its function but still works, offering the possibility of using it while watching it rotate in the center of the fan giant, although it’s obviously not something we would want to have nearby for security reasons. After verifying that it worked, 苏打baka decides to take his creation to the extreme, spinning it at the maximum speed possible, breaking the base of the heat sink, and sending it flying into the air.
