Future cooling products?

[AWhackWhiteBoy]

What do you think the future of computer hardware cooling will use? Possibly flexible heatpipes in the future maybe? or maybe at least semi-malleable after heated so they can be molded to fit their application? more use of TECs?

If i could make one,i would:

heatpiped base with flexible heatpipes piped into a 120mm grate so mount on my rear exhust fan and have a TEC mounted to the base. oye, keep dreaming...

Maybe something like a temporal cooling device where you dump your heat into the future?

I think watercooling will become mainstream in the near future. "Flexible heatpipe" basically is watercooling.

yup if the heat trend continues (and it probably will) I'd say watercooling and/or peltier devices. I have a thread in Cases & Cooling about a compined peltier watercooled system idea.
