Wax cooling can massively speed up processors for short bursts
2013-08-23 20:06:58| Extremetech
Researchers at the University of Michigan have turned to wax to help push microprocessors to the limit. The wax can efficiently absorb heat as it changes phase and begins to melt. In recent tests, they boosted an Intel Core i7 microprocessor -- which normally runs at around 10 watts -- up to 50 watts.
