Remote computer VP

Can anyone of the VP builders out there attempt to remove the computer from the VP and extend the wires to a cooler location????

Cooling the VP

Just wondering??? Back when it was cool to over clock the processor on computers, to gain higher performance out of the computers...they had cooling devices that could cool the PCU's down to 0 degrees if so desired. Is there, or why isn't there something like this available for the electronics of the VP?

it would be fairly simple if you could attach a water block to the core electronics and run a small fan on a small radiator for cooling of the electronics

The problem with thermodynamic cooling is while cold is provided on one side of the block heat is put out on the other- so you'd have to put a water block in there anyways =\ IMO this woulds be overkill. A heatsink and fan would be good.

..........wait a minute,....overclocking isn't cool? ?

Isn't that kinda what a box, or computer chip is doing with the fueling wire tapped? Not so much that over clocking was cool, but just if you knew enough about how to do it, you were the guy that everyone brought their computer to every time something went wrong. Isn't overkill a good thing???
