For all you over clockers, or just the speed phreaks in general.



Check out this machine from Koolance, this MObo is sittin in OIL for cooling.



Now that is a serious case of some COOL Sh*t :drool:

[Platinum]

heh, that's actually pretty cool..

[Xetox]

more money than they know what to do with!

[Kai Shadowbane]

next they show the added effects of styrafoam and flame...

the reason that this works is that some oils are not conductive, unlike water, that's why you take a risk with liquid cooled cases, oil is probably a better idea, it's going to run warmer than if it were in water, oil will boil at a lower temp than water will, be warned that if you buy one of these cases that you must use the oil that's called for, probably something special that cost's an assload, i could be wrong though

[Pantharen]

the oil they used was a de-mineralized oil.



And yes it cost a MESS LOAD of $$$$, they quoted to have a machine like this built and shipped to you around the $3000. USD for a PIII 800.

I dunno if I'm gonna spend $7 grand(CDN) on a computer I'm gonna get a dual Xeon or a Dual Opteron system.

This seems like a good idea, except--and maybe I'm missing something here--whether its conducive or no, wont that destroy the hardware of the thing? I've got a picture of soggy cardboard in my head.

Ahhh yes now I remember where I found this, this system was at Comdex 2001 here is the link:

DE-Mineralized oil, meaning NO Minerals, means no conductivity.

Water is more of a conductor than oil, and water cooling is very common, and yes the water cooling systems do leak now and again, yet the systems dont short out.

More from the wonderful world of WTF?



How about Water Submersion Supercooling.

Check out all the cool pictures.



Here is the link from where I found this wierd shit.
