  Ah, I see we’re getting to the point where it’s hard to tell if we’re being philosophical or pedantic.

  Counterpoint: at the boundary layers, right where the air touches the fins, the main mechanism for heat exchange is conduction. Ultimately, convection is just conduction, where the medium undergoing heat conduction is a moving fluid, which massively amplifies the rate of heat exchange.

  Air is kinda shit at taking in heat through radiation, but fine at doing so via conduction and convection.

  nah, radiative cooling means that radiation is the only mechanism for heat exchange in use. I’m pretty sure most modern air coolers use forced convection as one of their heat exchange mechanisms.

  Water cooling at what kind of scale? Since you can engineer a system with the final heat exchanger to the environment stuck in a river. Is that air cooling with extra steps.

  If we’re talking PC’s though, yes. You’re right.

  Ik ga er niet om liegen, ik had niet gerekend op een Duitse reactie op de vorige opmerking xD

  but not exactly in what particular way they are angry. Are they quiet & mopey angry? Yelling at the world angry? Calm beyond emotions angry? Hell if I know, they lack the words to express it.
