A Very Different Type Of Hot Coffee Mod
Do Not Drink The Coolant, Even If It Is Fresh Coffee
Here’s a modded build you never saw coming, instead of a normal reservoir this PC has a General Electric drip coffee maker attached to the side of it. That coffee maker feeds freshly brewed coffee into an impressive array of tubing, through two radiators on top of the PC and on to a CPU water block. Once it passes through the cooling loop it heads back to the carafe for another go around the PC.
As you might expect the coffee is a wee bit warm the first go through, at 90C the PC is in danger of crashing and definitely throttles down but after an hour or so the temperature of the coffee is down to a more reasonable 30C. The build is unique and definitely looks like something you’d find in the lair of a mad scientist which you would immediately want to take home.
Enjoy the build but do not drink the coffee, computer radiators and water blocks are definitely not food safe!
Modern computers generate a great deal of heat when under load, thus we cool them with fans and sometimes even water cooling systems. [Doug MacDowell] figured that water was alright, but why not use coffee instead?
