New chip watercooling technology! Hope it's implemented fast

Since it's spraying directly on the chip, and the spray is
moving towards a
"drain," it might not be so easy to adapt to our pc's.

We don't know how fast these droplets are moving. They might be moving
so fast that gravity direction doesn't matter in the short distances
that it travels from source to drain.

Then as long as they got a good seal around the edges it would be ok. It
would take some very hi-temp rubber or something.

Also I don't think they're using water in this case, it's some kind of
liquid "that is safe on electronic circuits".

Yes, probably Freon or somesuch that boils on contact. Still the basic
idea of jets that do not interfere with flow from adjacent jets is certainly
worth persuing in standard watercooling.

OOPS, sorry;

The flow technique could be an improvement in water systems.
It would be interesting to see how it would compare to a diamond
pin setup. Another factor that could work in its favor, are the
CPU chips with integrated metal "heatspreaders".

One thing that struck me reading the article was how with the
right fluid wouldn't this improve the heatpipe approach? Sorta,
an active pumped heatpipe; a heatpipe with more power, <grunt>
<grunt>.

I doubt it.

Whether the "heat-spreader" is on the processor or on the heatsink only
matters as far as the thermal conductivity between the ship and said
spreader. The idea is to get the heat away from the chip, As Uncle
Felger says, "the first mile" is what matters.

Why would it? ...and does it matter?
