Forget archaic air and water cooling, ice is in vogue today! Just pour a bucket of water into the PC, freeze it, and heat problems are gone. But you have to add water regularly and keep freezing!
Okay, that’s complete nonsense. But still a Youtuber mryester he came up with a similar idea to the amusement of himself and his followers. What happens when you freeze a graphic in a block of ice? Will work? Will she immediately die as soon as the water covers her? Or will the frost destroy her? So he took the old Nvidia GS 8400, threw it in the sink, took out the necessary cables and PCIe riser, and put it in the freezer. It must be added that he used ordinary tap water, not distilled, and he did not even treat the graphic with any water-repellent product.
And when the time was right, the ice monolith was plugged in and the PC booted up. Yes, it booted because the graphics worked. The image flickered a bit and the fan somehow couldn’t spin, but otherwise it looked promising. So promising, in fact, that the graphics ran with the Unigine Heaven benchmark for another 30 minutes without shorting out or ice melting, with the GPU temperature at 2°C. As you can see, the PC hardware of the old days was an honest piece of iron that wouldn’t throw a little water and ice around. But I probably wouldn’t try it with such an RTX 4090.
