The price has come to with in range of the "Normal" person..
You wouldnt need to much to keep even the beastiest PC covered.. what <5gals?

DOesnt say how the Fans/bearings will fair in the liquid..
and.. It wont be long and it will be cheaper to cool your computer with this stuff than to put fuel in your car

400 bucks a gallon? Shoot....I'll just run right out and get me 3 or 4 gallons of the stuff....I can hold off my mortgage payment for awhile I guess....and my car payment....and my bills...and...
One thing about immersion overclocking....it can get awful messy doing upgrades. :(
I have also noticed in the past that it can be problematic lugging a 15-galllon aquarium to a LAN party.
Quite interesting!!
What would happen if you stuck your hand in the water,etc when the computer was on?? (I reckon you would get a shock)
Frankly i dont know how stuff runs IN LIQUID!!
Dude, this thread is two years old. LOL
2 years old?? I saw something similar done about 7 or 8 years ago, but without the fancy fluid. Shoot, I'm trying to remember what they used, but it was an everyday houshold item (and WAY cheaper).
I want to say it was some kind of thin oil, but it's not coming to me right now.
I thought it was REALLY cool at the time though!:cool:
Mineral oil
They also use it un transformers.
I believe you can use distilled water, so long as everything has been cleaned within an inch of its life. Pure H2O doesn't conduct electricity, but just a smidgen of salt (like from your skin) changes that.
Yep, that was it Mineral Oil.
Interesting experiment (and a lot cheaper than this stuff!) :D
Of coarse you can do like they do at arisibo [ may have spelled it wrong] and have the electronics in liquid helium. That should cool things properly.
I think someone should build one of these and put it in the waiting room of a Doctors office! I'd sit and watch it for hours!!
:D
-90C :eek:
I just tried a new medium for my extreme overclocking. I immersed the whole friggin' thing in some surplus maple syrup I got last winter in Vermont. It's kind of messy, but I get some really schweet overclocking....
Thank you...thank you....I'll be here all night...be sure to tip your waitress...
Didnt even notice that!!Quote:

Refrigeration is needed. And i mean real good Refrigeration
They found that the cooler the components are, the less white noise is generated by the compnents which interfered with listening to outerspace signals at Arisebo. Why they use liquid helium.
