Cool Down His Computer with Some Oil

i dont think this is arctical .. you have to keep changing oil every two days or so .. the cooling fans which are used presently are more economical and efficient than using oil!!!

cant even record a video right ant we're supposed to take his advice??? Dont think so, I dont trust it

this would be great for a gaming machine, i generally build a new computer every 1.5 to 2 years anyways.

it will be DEEP FRIED instead. I thought it was the Americans that deep fried everything.

to add potatoes

... you're fucked.

I found the website that actually did this. The Processor has to be sealed since the pins on the proc are so close they cause capacitance issues. Also the cooling from this isn't really that good, and most likely won't be enough to keep newer systems cool. They first experimented with distilled water which turned out to be a failure.

What i can't understand is why they didn't just use FluidXP its used in cooling systems and has been proven to not cause shorts even when pored all over the board.

1. What you mean "this do not have big report with videogames"?
2. Better use that much oil in the kitchen for a half an year or an year than for that stupid experiment
3. How are you going to clean that? Oil won't clean with water or alcohol, so all the pieces inside will remain...i can't find a word to describe that...maybe disgusting..

And the temps ? The way it looks ? The smell ? it looks dirty .......

...

awesome invention, i'm surprised nothing was affected by the oil being directly on the cpu and graphics card and psu. grats
by the way, did you see and temperature differences without and with the oil?

make your own onion rings and french fries.

!!!

why spend all this time on cooling what is a terrible spec pc?

i have an nvidia 8600 and a dual core extreme 3.26ghz that is air cooled and still hasnt overheated when overclocked

Why would you want to do this? Looks terrible, It's a huge 4 gallon oil spill waiting to happen, I cannot believe it will cool better than a fan that would cost 1/4 what four gallons of synthetic oil would cost let alone the caulk, the case , the glue, plexiglass. Just to look at four gallons of expensive oil? Plus your plugs you caulked around will leak.
I'll go with the Thermaltake fan.
