Pump on my CPU cooler failed today. I've picked up a replacement from fry's but it's been a pia.

If you are putting it in your ass I think I found your problem.

ZING!

Civil makes a good point. Routing it through your ass will likely decrease cooling efficiency.

The transfer medium itself would be better - air is relatively inefficient; the liquid/liquid heat exchange across your colon is a good mechanism. It probably has a greater surface area than your currently installed radiator, which is also an upside. Additionally, with a traditional radiator you have to run a fan. Ass cooling will be quieter.

The problem with your method is the higher ambient temps on the cool side of your cycle. Granted, I am making a few assumptions here: First, that 98.6F is the theoretical minimum ambient on the cool side of your ass-cycle. Second, that air temps in your computer room tend to be significantly lower than 98.6.

Still, that's just speculation on my part. I'd like to hear reports of a real-world installation.

Cheers,

I had to get some replacement nuts, Aeth...for some of my fans that no longer had something to screw...into.

Everything is set up. Took longer than expected as I had a psychiatrist appointment to go to related to sticking copper blocks in my anus (not really; just the usual depression stuff for the appointment). Then, I had to go get nuts to hold fans in place since my dad threw out all of my hardware supplies for some reason (including my drill and ratchet set...grrr).

Temps are much better. Not as good as with the H100, but it'll do for now until I can do some research and find a permanent replacement. That's assuming I deem it necessary. I may just wait until the next Intel series comes out as I plan to upgrade cpu/mobo then.

TLDR - He who was once nutless, now screws many adoring fans.
