Abstract
A system for cooling a CPU. The system has a tank for holding dielectric coolant in a liquid phase. The CPU is immersed in the coolant. A cover closes the tank. Electric pathways that convey data to/from the CPU traverse the cover. The electric pathways allow the CPU to exchange data with an external device. In this fashion, the CPU can perform data processing functions while being immersed in dielectric coolant.
