spec this LAH!


This is my computer...
i built this bad boy and it=sexi!!! u can also see my yo-yo and some li hing apples there at the bottom (best snack EVERRR) so anyways now for the physics. when building this beast of a machine the most crucial part of the computer is the processor. its like the brain of the computer. obviously its pretty important. if you didnt ahve a brain you would be worthless and wouldnt be reading this right now anyways... so you cant see it in this pic but the processor is covered by a MASSIVE heat sink which acts as a thermal conductor and pulls the heat away from the processor. or else it will overheat and BURNINATE everything!! which is a bad thing. in order to help the thermal conduction the heat sink has a copper insert which helps and most people add a thick silver pasty substance made by Arctic Silver which fills the however slight the gap between the processor and the heatsink but also contains 99.9% pure silver which transfers the heat quicker resulting in lower temperatures.

whoa thats cool!

yeah, good physics right there, Landon. Thanks. Does the heat sink also have a lot of fins to increase surface area too?
