Oil Computer, for those who know a bit about it.

For a goos container get a 10gallon tish tank, pre sealed and only 8-12$.

I would try a decent synthetic hydraulic fluid like brake fluid or transmission fluid. The latter is designed to handle heat. Either is less viscous than motor oil and therefore would circulate better.

A guaranteed circulation device would be an electric oil pump-- they used to sell those for automobiles, I don't doubt you could still find them online.

will gasoline work? lol

It would give a whole new meaning to the words 'that computer is da bomb!'

I really hope that was a joke, if a rogue spark somewhere doesnt set it alite then the heat will surely start combustion

this is a mental cooling solution, good luck and tell us how it goes

LOL, gasoline. If Desiel fluid isnt condeuctive you could use that because it doesnt ignite. You could take a flame over it and it wouldnt go up in flames.

I have ALOT of transmission fluid around my house, i need to get a CPU then i will try it.

have you ever smelled trans fluid?

Actually gasoline would not ignite. Liquid gasoline is not flamible. Gas vapor is. So if the computer was in a sealed container, you could spark all you want as long as the spark was not exposed to any oxygen.

its pretty hard to extract all of the oxygen from a sealed unit without the right chemicals and i dont think anyone would want any gasoline inside their house like that. also, gasoline can ignite from any flame at a temp of -45 degrees C. now i've seen diesel being used to put out a burning rag but its not an experiment i'd want to try out.
generally speaking all "oily liquids" have a bad smell accociated with them but heavy oils dont produce vapour so well so its harder to smell.
