Testing an AMD Threadripper Pro CPU with Car Parts for Cooling
Share
In this experiment, the team used a unique cooling system for the powerful AMD Threadripper Pro 9995WX processor. They took a radiator from a BMW M4 and added fans from a Toyota Highlander. These car parts were connected using a pump that moved up to 1200 liters of liquid every minute to help cool the CPU during testing.
Even with this strong cooling setup, the performance was still not as cool as what can be achieved with liquid nitrogen. This shows just how much heat the Threadripper Pro can produce and how hard it is to keep it cool during heavy use.
This creative project highlights what happens when you combine computer technology with automotive parts and it demonstrates both the potential and limitations of using car cooling parts in a computer setup.
