Computer Cooling Experiment With Irn Bru Lid

Irn Bru Cooling For A Computer

Cooling a computer is vital and is an area that MUST be carefully considered when building a computer.

Over the last few months we have been very busy building loads of computers mainly for gaming but with the huge rise in social media, we have built a large number of computers specifically for video, image and sound editing.

Computers for gaming and editing have similar requirements but a common key area is that of computer cooling.

In our high end computer builds, we will always use liquid cooling simply because liquid cooling is so efficient, reliable and good. In addition, because of the effectiveness of liquid cooling, it helps reduce the fan noise.

While advancing our computer cooling skills via learning & experimentation, one of the engineers came up with the idea of seeing if we could successfully cool a CPU using an Irn Bru bottle lid.

 The successful outcome would be that the CPU was sufficiently cooled to boot.

This short video tells the story:

Thermal Paste - A Necessary Evil

Do not under estimate the importance of applying thermal paste correctly.

At worst case, not using the thermal paste correctly could lead to the CPU being fried, at best, you will be plagued by all sorts of system instability, Blue Screen Of Death, poor performance to name but a few.

In this short video, Scott explains the vital role of thermal paste and how to apply it correctly.

We sell quality thermal paste in our computer shop and of course from our on-line webstore
