So...I have an odd question for an unique idea I have...
I have a late 2009 27" iMac, and as everyone knows they tend to run hot...mine runs so hot in fact that, even though I use a fan control program to keep my fan speed high, the GPU failed to days ago...probably due to heat.
I cannot afford a new computer so I am already going to have to do a DIY replacement of the GPU. But I still need to do everything I can to keep the computer cool...
So my idea is to build a mini AC strip that I can install under the computer to help feed cold air through the system. There are a number of ways to do this, the simplest just use ice. My question is, would the extra humidity from the ice/water evaporating damage the computer at all? I'd probably be using this thing all the time.
My other idea is to essentially strap some kind of liquid cooling system to the back of the case
