Modding Oil Cooled ?

Mad !

Yup, its old school...Mineral oil.....Its non-conductive.

 

First time i've seen it .. still mad thou.

 

I did that once.. it was my first "mod"

looks really cool when u lower a running fan into the oil

 

Did it actually cool at all?

 

I read it was just plain old veg oil, just to prove that it didn't need anything special, and I'm not sure how cool it got, but apparently it was dead silent, except for the HD's

 

how about using veg oil in watercolling instead of water

 

Maybe be too thick, then again, maybe a more powerful pump might do it?

 

omg first looked at this and thought how the f* does that not blow up.... cool really... wounder if it actually works...

 

What happens if the oil heats up???
Does it boil??

 

If the computer gets hot enough to where it starts boiling the oil, you've got a lot more serious concerns

 

/me puts some in pauls watercooling system

 

what type oil do you need to do this ?

 

Oil that boils at approximately 40 degrees Celcius will do perfectly.

 

It looks like some off-the-shelf transformer oil to me. I give it two months before it has taken all plasticizer out of the PVC and many other plastic components. Next time some one touches anything it will fall apart.

 

that would actually be pretty cool, if he goes to remove it and it all falls apart !!

 

heh, that would be a great "wtf" moment to see.

 

would the circuit boards be damaged, or just the components, and cards, and pci slots. Would be a good moment to se.

 

no no no!!!

ok this hase been done before, this idea hase been around for age's and it still sucks. the pump you need to move the oil with would draw about 4 to 6 amp's now if you hade a pump like that hooked to your water pump you would never see the temp rize...and yes i have not just red about the oil comp i used one for about a month but when i found out how much it cost to run it there was just no point....hope this helps some of you new guys/girls well maybe one 1girl out there....good luck and happy moding

 

Hi

the viscosity of the oil is FAR to high to run in a normal watercooling loop without investing in a better/more powerful pump

im tempted to do this with an older PC, but im debating using a different method, going along with using some of the non-conductive water stuff (pleurocarbon or something) and have a waterloop that isnt just a loop, so basically its normal air cooling, but instead of fans have the non-conductive water being sprayed over the heatsinks, will be more for fun than for seriousness!!! would be cool to make an oil running pc just for a laugh, ive got loads of old p3/p2 stuff im not using
