submerge your pc in veggie oil - cool and quiet

<< < (2/3) > >>

nudone:
i've not read the article yet but it's something i'd consider - even if it meant cleaing it out once a year and putting fresh oil in (maybe it would require doing more often?).

i'm planning in going for the water cooled stage soon so if more information is available in a few months regarding oil cooled then i'd be very tempted to try it.

as for cleaning the oil off the cards when need to swap them out - surely there must be some kind of cleaming fluid suitable for this(?).

brotherS:
It's a funny idea, but that's it - since you can't submerge ALL parts in oil I still think a bolstered metal case with a bit of silent tuning is the best way to do it.

I don't even want to think about what happens if you aren't around when that plastic case starts to leak 30 litres of veggie oil... talk about a slick idea!

;D ;D

How can you have non-organic petroleum based oil ??? Petroleum is a biological biproduct ...

Oh yeah... forgot about that...



Another crazy liquid that supposidly could be used: distilled water, except it's corosive.

If you read the article there is a section on de-ionized water and unfortunately it tended to get ionized in use and cause electrical shorts.
