Maybe your server could help cool off theirs.
Take both of them and slap a sterling engine between them. Unless both servers combined are eating thousands of watts an hour you could end up net energy positive.... Or you know perpetual energy.
0.05 K
And that last 0.5 was probably a rounding error It's not showing double digit precision. :)
Can't touch this
Reapply thermal paste every 24h. It'll be fine.
So I was curious and looked it up because I would have assumed that stars/suns are much hotter than that.
Turns out the coldest star is 97Β°C at its surface. So I guess CPUs regularly reach (coldest) star temperature?
I guess technically. This makes me wonder what actually qualify as stars. Do neutron stars? Do black holes?
UPDATE: By the definitions on wikipedia, miriam-webster dictionary and britanica, a brown dwarf this cold may not actually qualify to be a star. I will search further for astronomical definition.
Brown dwarfs are classified as substellar objects because they can't fuse hydrogen into helium and don't undergo the same lifecycle as stars. White dwarfs aren't stars either, they are stellar remnants that don't have enough mass to keep fusing heavier elements, usually stopping at carbon and oxygen.
I've got a Dell R730, this is standard operating temperatures.
My Dell optiplex reports 126C, is this really normal dell behavior?
Of course. That's why it's called KDE Plasma and not KDE Liquid or KDE Gaseous
Still waiting for the KDE Neutron Degenerate Matter release.
If Lemmy had awards, you would deserve one
To be fair, I still have this Lemmy award idea, with a twist. The pay goes to awardee's preferred open-source project as donation.
Half of it split between the instances of the awarder and awardee, the other half as you said.
That would be even better!
β¦and converted to UltraSPARC?
I'm more triggered by the missing degree symbol Β° before C
It's actually travelling at 6280 x the speed of light π¬
That would be lower case. It's actually charged with 6280 Coulombs.
Congratulations to you and the motherboard.
Okay hear me out, we got nuclear fusion, now place some water in a massive tub on top of the pc.
Create steam
Spin turbines
Generate electricity
Send to another server
Infinate power
Send to another server
Why?
Just feed it back in itself.
Need to download more fan
yes, but have you successfully achieved fusion in the CPU? if so, this will revolutionize selfhosting.
Trying to mine some Ethereum and accidentally ending up with with a shit-ton of hydrogen burning into helium
Great, now my electron wallet doesn't want to work anymore. Said something about "busy influencing the fusion rate" and "please wait while I maintain the overall electrical neutrality within the plasma" or somesuch
OP at their keyboard right now:
At least swap usage is low.
So it runs on Java? π€
Electron.
Worst it's flash
The steel of the case melted long ago... I guess the carpet is ruined.
the hole's in the carpet can be fixed
Ackshually this is well within the range of a Class F star, unlike our class G sun which is a bit cooler. This is getting cloe to the temperature of Procyon A which is noticeably whiter than the sun.
Time to build a small Dyson Sphere.
6553.55 K
Oh now it makes sense. Temperature was less than Absolute zero now you can make 100% efficiency carnot engine
Absolute zero is 0 K, which is the theoretical temperature at which particles have minimal vibrational motion. Since 6553.55 K is greater than 0 K, it is greater than absolute zero.
The power of the sun in the palm of my hand!
Wow you did it! How much data to hit critical mass?
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear?!
