Is water-cooled laptops possible? (and other cooling techniques)
CRxTRDUDE:
actually, it's the law of conservation... energy can neither be created (produced) nor destroyed by itself. It can only be transformed. remember?
Yeah. It's not feasible but that doesn't mean that it cant be done. You can even make a new comp from it. The point is, it's aesthetic aspect. You can do anything you want with an object and even push it to weird possibilities.
Besides I'm going into tis situation where you have a busted heatsink and you got a lot of rubber tubing and you know how to do this... then this can be in a worst case scenario use. ;D
If that's the case then you can lock this thread and consider this scrapped. ;)
My dad's angry and he want to throw the comp. Nyt ;D

i certainly do remember the law of energy conservation but that doesn't mean in the slightest that every form of energy will become heat. the transformation process is a two way street. i can think of numerous ways to convert heat into other forms of energy.
the point is that possibility in the technical sense does not imply possibility in the beneficial sense.
just like the fusion of hydrogen is theoretically and practically possible it's impossible (at the moment) to power a energy plant with it (because the process implemented is using more energy than it creates and/or is harness-able).
kitamesume:
you can actually create energy or destroy it, its simple, just use... (click to show/hide)MAGIC! 8)ok jokes aside.
heatpipes would do you better than using watercooling on a laptop, why? heatpipes are compact, less dangerous, more practical and could transfer more heat depending on what setting you'll use it on.
if you actually can mod heatpipes, you're better off making a wicked air cooled heatsink.
kureshii:
If you're just doing it for the aesthetic aspect and not for practical reasons, then it's no less impossible than water-cooling a desktop CPU + motherboard.
Heck, you'd be better off trying to fit a water-cooled mini-ITX system into something that can pass for 'laptop' form factor (which seems to be really loosely defined judging by images in this thread).
NaRu:
If you want to put that much effort on water cooling your laptop you might as well just buy a desktop because the size of the laptop wouldnt be much smaller the a mid tower case
