Sacrifices must be made. At least your chip isn't burning.

A fan diameter of 7.6cm. Nice.

Incorrectly?

rot_speed = 4294967296 rpm

c = 299792458 m/s

prop_speed_of_light = 0.057

tip_speed_actual = c * prop_speed_of_light

radius = tip_speed_actual / (rot_speed)(60 sec/1 min)(2π)

radius ≈ 11 µm

Increase it by 94,3% to allow time travel xD

Quasar powered CPU? 🤔

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Actually the limit on rotational velocity would be defined by the fan radius. Eg, if the fan diameter is larger than 1m, the tip of the blade will be going faster than 5.7% the speed of light.

School computers: Pathetic

Well its working so well that it dosen't just cool your CPU it also cools your entire computer so well that your GPU is at 0°C (32°F).

Showed it to my partner, they said its probably rotations per month

This looks suspiciously like unsigned int rollover.

I think the air star's becoming hot again.

Yeah it's a little noisy but it keeps everything cool!

Are you using any nocturna fans, if not they might be quieter, especially if your attempting to create a warp bubble around your computer
