oil cooled PC from Toms hardware

that looks neat

...do you acsualy think this is better than the regular ventilators ant such :/ it just looks weird... and not effective :/ unles u dont have any other cooling systems it will just heat up and on a hot day... just a waste of hardware :/ but fun to experiment :)

what a mess...........

oil doesn't conduct

there are a couple of things that should have been changed. if i were you, i would have used mineral water...its clear and it also doesn't conduct electricity. also, you should have put a couple of fans in the case. you need to circulate the oil around the case for the best cooling. you also could have put the PSU in the oil, it would look a lot better. Just add a bubbler and some fake plants and you're set to go lol.

just stick some fish tank supplies in there lol

Haha. Wish you do this with water one day :). Anyways, I <3 Tom's Hardware :).

Ok... how can OIL cool a pc?

eisely oild doesnt conduct electricity and CPU can't heatall the 30 liters of oil.

looool, mineral water conduct electricity BETTER then normal tap water. The minerals (ions) in the water is what makes the electron flow possible. 100% water, which i bet you've never seen actually tastes nothing like "water" at all, i drank some. But then again, battery water is in my understanding also non electric conducting. I dont know if it's 100% or 99,999% water or just deionized. Nonetheless, try using battery water and avoid getting any kind of shit in it. And the fans you spoke of is+

the fans will fail

After 10,000 miles, or if it starts to knock.

can I use kitchen oil? or cars oil?

would be kool if the cpu could heat the 30 liters of oil , then i could make chips while using the pc

Cool, but maybe continuous work can heat the oil afterall?

Maybe you'll need something a lot more powerful than CPU in order to heat 30 liters of oil?!

I see your point but you never know what would happen :/

either, kitchen oil is cheaper, and since u will use alot of it, ur better of with it

Oil doesnt conduct electricity, its like saying "What are you gonna mix air and ur components togehter?" OIL IS SAFER THEN AIR COOLING, its ALOT easier to make a arc in air, then in oil

However if it ever came in contact, it'd go puff.

It would have been better to use a water-based cooling system and use oil in that rather than water. Just use a pump that can move through the viscosity of oil and hey presto.

perfect for a woman

@shankman2000 The only things you can't put in it is the CD/DVD reader and the hard drive. Everything can go in it besides that, do to the oil not being conductive.

@shankman2000 oil don't conduct power

oil doesn't conduct. DUH!

@Kelo60 I'm pretty sure you can put those in if you place it above the surface of the oil. If you don't put the hard drive or the CD/DVD Drive then how are you supposed to use it? Are you just going to boot to the BIOS everytime? That's what he did in the video, he left the power supply above the surface of the oil.

@1964mm You don't put it in the oil. It's still hooked up to the PC. Just not submerged in the oil.

hmm, i knew mineral oil could be used but not vegetable oil

@lukebob1 i don't think so. you can store vegetable oil in their normal containers, unrefrigerated, for weeks, even over a year and it doesn't go bad. fryers at restaurants sometimes keep their oil until it starts smoking, which can be a long while. i wouldn't worry about it. olive oil might be a different story

O.o

@thejuc Only with a intel prescott cpu. them bitches get hot.

looks like piss

Question: since I dont have oil, will piss do fine?

@xy274 No :).

@ThunderStrike764 oil isnt like water there is no way the stuff can short because it doesnt conduct ;)

@xy274 yup, just make sure its on when u put it in there

deutsches öl :D

looks like piss

There would be no more PC to use.

this is way easier than all that water cooling tubes.

Also Vomit works! after drinking a bottle of vodka....

for making fireworks, yes.

4 years later: 220W AMD CPU lol

if anyone want to know the name from this track, send me a message here.

Wow, 9 years ago aesthetics meant shit. I didn't remember.

What is the oil for I don get it??🤔🤔🤔

i like how the music is all oily

Bunu şuan türkiyede yapmaya kalksan sıvı soğutmadan daha pahalıya gelir.

This song is badass! For years Ive been wondering the name of it. It sounds so familiar and possibly inspired by the PINK FLOYD's opening song in "The Wall" album, the 'where the Tigers break Free!"
