Ok so science was never my strongest subject! so help me out here, as i remember it from my GCSE days, energy is never lost just converted from its different forms to new forms.
so we put electrical energy into a CPU and the output is heat, electrical and probably trace amounts of other types of energy. As the output from the CPU travels as electrical energy along the pipe / bus (or whatever they're called), it will also convert this electrical energy into more heat.
and bear with me here.
so the main output of the CPU is almost exclusively eventually heat.!? is this correct? or is data itself energy (chemical energy) !?!?
if heat is the only energy conversion; then providing heat is needed / wanted CPUs are close to 100% efficient.
why don't swimming pools house servers!? kind of a quid pro quo deal! just an idea i had for heating my fish tank while cooling my home server to save on the electricity bill.
or
have i had too much beer?![]()
