oil cooled pc (pic intensive)

That is great! i always wondered what it would be like. You should try it with a Core 2 and a really good underwater fan that you could hook up.

cryption · 03-20-2007, 08:40 PM

yeah I want to get a good fan of some nature. My budget limited me to using a computer I could sacrifice if it didn't work, I just bought myself a new rig but I don't think I'm willing to risk it ya know.

After all, I'm a poor college student with a Volkswagen that always needs fixing.

are you kidding me? You Dont!

Also...who knows

i just kinda work around the oil when I need to change something.

update (I'll get pics when it's done)

I'm taking the heater core off an old buick i foudn for cheap at auto zone and a fish tank pump to run the oil through the radiator that will be set on the frozen part of the "freezer" that mini fridges have, and then pump that chilled oil directly onto the CPU. Also, I'm tossing more case fans into the oil to simply circulate it more. It still gets too damn hot for my tastes.

What if it starts hydrogenating again? Then you'll be stuck with a margarine covered mobo.

Big "L" · 03-21-2007, 04:25 PM

that is awsome, i was told you can also use liquid nitrogen. is that true?

Kornowski · 03-21-2007, 04:35 PM

You can, Yeah, But it's got to be under 'controlled' conditions, it's very dangerous otherwise.

cryption · 03-21-2007, 04:45 PM

hopefully there won't be any water mixing in with the oil enough to make it hydrogenate ... but I'm going to monitor it frequently and change the oil when needed.

As for liquid nitrogen here is a safer option to get temps as cold
