The thinner air makes cooling the components more difficult. Results in over heating which causes the efficiency loss...
ok that makes sense, i guess we could just put in slight more powerful fans?
I've heard people talking about doing that, but I never heard back on how it went. I wish i could remember the specific model number they discussed, but it was a fan that is used quite a bit on gaming computers.
furthermore, if the unit was used in a climate controlled environment i assume cooling would not be a major issue even at 1500-3000 meters
Sungold just told me that their limit was also 6500 feet. Do you remember whom you spoke with at Sungold? I would like to visit with them.
