If you were to take a chunk of ice and place it directly on a running CPU, as you can imagine, the temperature of the processor would immediately start to decrease. However, this is far less than ideal because it leaves behind liquid water, which can conduct electricity and destroy our entire system. So, what would happen if we were to turn over our motherboard so that it was entirely upside down? Hmm. Well, in this case, we could power on our system,
and now we can take that chunk of ice and push it up into the CPU. If we do that, the temperature again begins to rapidly decrease similar to our previous experiment. But this time, the water also begins to drop away from the motherboard, leaving the system entirely. I feel like this has a lot of potential. This commenter had suggested using a spring-based mechanism so that the ice was being actively pushed upwards into the CPU, which I feel like would actually was being actively pushed upwards into the CPU, which I feel like would actually
work if the platform itself had holes for the water to drain through. It would
