Explosive Cooling For An Idiot

A friend of mine said he was going to mod his computer so a CO3 tank is used as the heatsink. He tried to explain that the thing would get rid of his cpu noise and stuff.
Heh I was wondering, from the extreme heat the CPU emits, wouldnt this eventually allmost cause the CO3 mini tank to overexpand and literally explode destroying everything in his computer like a bomb?

I thought it was sorta funny, and i would never risk trying this myself.
I've made CO3 powered cars in shop class for raceing and one of the "lower achiever" students decided he wanted to spray everyone with high pressured air. Now he did punture the tip whilst holding this thing, but even with his godly grib (my ass), he couldnt manage the pressure and it bounced all over the place. very danagerous, but also funny in a way i suppose.

whats CO3 again? <s>ammonia</s>? lol thats prolly NH3 i dont remember my chem knowledge is bad...

as far as I remember CO3 is Carbonate....

If he tries this, make sure he videos it. Actually, I suspect his cpu would fail before it exploded, but the heat would still be generated even after failure.

Just noticed that the box for my last heatsink says "Made in China". That's probably just about far enough away when it finally goes off. :lol:

Actually ammonia is NH4.

the best element used in pc's would have to be silicon Si, since it isnt conductive and allows you to hold all the little parts of the circuit boards together. Heh, i wonder if someone ever built a pc without it and just used wires? that'd burn up soon i suppose

I should give up on chemistry if I were you, it isn't your strong suit.

that last post wasnt based on a fact, but seemed to make the most since.. otherwise the chip would'nt balance out if it was conductive i suppose. i remember when windows 98 was first out.. the damn thing acted like it had a bunch of loose wires and what-not.

Anyways, the bigger, the better when it comes to CO3 tanks.
The small ones used in them model racecars can get warm, untill you open them up that is.
The larger ones (size of your head for example) will stay cold if the heat of a cpu is on it.

The small one would be more usefull if you could somehow have 2 of them.. and use some kind of device to constantly transfer the compressed air back and forth from one to the other without leakage. Only problem is that this would be even more risky because of all the pressure. (plus they dont last forever unless you could automaticly recycle the CO3 into new CO3 compound like how those air pumps work for filling tires up and stuff.)

...youd have to have some kind of 1/2' thick alluminum holster than fits secure in a case with walls that are atleast 1/4-1/2' thick... BOLTED to a strong table. Might be LOUD also.

requires more money than watercooling for sure.
