Excuse me sir. First of all, great work, and thank you for presenting this video as a reference.
I have a strange question please. That large fan in the middle is the PSU fan I assume after you've taken it apart. Could you please tell me the size and watts rate of that fan? If not, could you please provide me with the exact model of your PSU so I may look it up? Thank you so much! :-)
4.5 ghz on a processor? That should run so smoothly if you have your vid cards overclocked with it too and run so smoother on HIGH END games that demand a HIGH END PERFORMANCE system. I can think of a couple games like that.
People make big a big deal about computers being noisy? Wow you guys are losers.
Forgot what I was going to say. But I would only do this to experiment with OVER CLOCK capability on. Overclocking is awesome but it also wears the shit out of your parts. I would have to do some testing of my own and hit up the COMPANIES that made the parts to look into something. GOLD is used in motherboards but also gets HOT ( I dont know if they still do) due to it being such a good conductor.
It's not silent if you’re RUNNING A FAN ON A RADIATOR! It's also susceptible to dust build up on the radiator :( Trust me, when that rad gets dirty your CPU temps will be retarded high like they were before the rad! How noisy is the hard drive, now external floating in air??! Seal it up and drop it in there as well! Silent, LOL!
one other thing, due to the viscosity of the oil, the cooling fans are obviously turning slower and as a result, under more load causing a higher amperage draw. Has there been any instances of the fan circuits burning out prematurely due to the extra resistance?
what are the draw backs to this cooling system, do components rust or damage over time? also how often does the oil have to be changed. and is it really better than well air cooled PC or water cooling systems
@SoldierCyfix Rusting requires oxygen, and only happens quickly in the presence of water. There's no water in there (and if there was it would all sink to the bottom anyway), and shouldn't be much dissolved oxygen. Rustable parts would certainly rust *slower* than in normal air, if at all.
Drawbacks are pretty obvious: it's a bit of hassle, your components will get all oily, you'll void the warranty if you dunk them in oil, and there's the chance of getting oil everywhere if you knock it over
@SoldierCyfix Comparing it with other systems, you can dissipate heat out of your components much better this way than with other methods. Oil forms a better thermal inteface than air, and there's a limit to how much of a component you can cover using water cooling. Not sure what temperature this guy's machine gets up to, but they're usually pretty low. Check out the Puget system: they've put a pump and a radiator on theirs, and their high-spec machine doesn't get above 60 degrees.
I don't think oil conducts electricity as well as water, so no short circuit. Pretty ingenius if you ask me. Oil = best heat absorbing medium, silences noise, and looks like an aquarium. Add lights, your done :)
I love your video. quick question though. do you need to seal the cpu from the oil? I heard from a few sources that its a good idea to seal off the cpu from the oil except the top of course...the oil getting in and all over the pins might be bad for the computer? I want to try this but im finding it hard to find the right infomation
@tk5800thesecond mineral oil destroys the plastic parts submerged in like a month, but there are some special kinds of synthetic oils which will do fine. You just need to investigate a bit before doing that, but it is doable
Still working? Not sure if you still have it years later but just curious. I did one with a donated Dell - yes i know... i stuck mine in a small fridge with the freezer door removed and it never went over 17c BUT something shorted out after about 5 months from water getting into the oil. heads up for next time to completely seal the top from any air/water getting moved around. Which wont be an easy task from all the connections. Nice video!
This is a cool concept, but it seems like the oil would be too much resistance against the fans. What if a pump was submerged under the oil and the output was aimed at the components that needed the most cooling?
@Snipe4Life9001 Well it would haha. The freezing point of oil is just above the sublimation point of dry ice. so some of it would freeze but not much.
@xicechill No it doesnt, but its Mineral Oil, is not a electricity conductor.. im going to do this with some friends, we investigate alot in our university, and its a very good way to save electricity, u dont need the vents, like this guy did, and you can also remove the vents from the power supply...
@AzaIndustries ooooh ye lol, but what if you power supply failed and blew sparks would the oil ignite, btw trust me they can blow up its happend to me
@SuperCrazyJunk grab some veggie oil and a lighter and try to make it burn... in a closed system like this one, there is additionally no oxygen for a fire to use... its not diesel hes using to cool his computer
The Mineral oil burns at 170c, your system would melt before. The draw back I have seen is you can not upgrade once you do it, because the mineral oil gets in the connections and blocks the electricity if you remove, lets say the RAM. But I never upgrade. I saw some put a bubbler in there too, but that would cause little tiny air bubbles to form on your heat sinks making them less effective. I want to know about the fans and if they are still running. Fans do not like to be loaded.
@Osclala They run like normal. You need to beef up the fans a bit to get the most out of it. Stock fans have a hard time turning in the oil. I have a friend that did this and I'm kicking the idea of making a media machine with it.
@optimist4212 I saw that too, looks like it was on the board or a reflection on the tank. Manufacturers use mineral oil in transformers of even extremely high current, never once has electricity conducted through the oil, that is why they use it. This system of cooling is very intriguing, reliable and effective.
He's using mineral _oil_, not mineral water! Mineral water, or (almost any [pure H2O isn't very electrically conductive, but 100% "super" pure H2O isn't very common unless you're in a laboratory]) water, will short connections on the motherboard, power supply, etc. Mineral oil is not electrically conductive, but has somewhat decent thermal properties.
I like it. I'm not keen on going completely submerged, but I am a fan of making it quieter while still getting the best overclock possible. I'm currently trying to design an oil-filled PSU with a tiny pump and radiator, however since oil is very good at finding any possible place to leak the project is becoming increasingly complex.
got question can you use any mineral oil like the cheap gallon stuff on amazon? or does it have to be a certain type i might just one of these up cause it would be cheaper then a haf x :0
I originally planned on purchasing from STE Oil but I have a 10 gallon tank and would figure I would order 7 gallons of the 70 FG. It's $88 for 5 gallons... 8(
Do you think it was worth it or should I save a lot of money and just pick up some baby oil from a store for a lot cheaper... ? It's scented... lol.
hey i'm a computer guy and i where a litle bit worried when you taked out the parts from the ps(power suply) just in case u dont know it it is actually 400 volts inside the ps self when the wall cable not are plugged in!! everybody be carefull when handling a power suply!
@clouster75 nope it is 400v i got an verry bad "shock" from the psu and they found it was an grounding problem and an professional said it was 400v and some psu's have voltage with the watts
@chunkmanshaun I've upgraded since this video. After a thorough cleaning I was able to sell the components used in this video and get a cheap athlon X2, 8800GTS 512 and 4GB DDR2 ram to replace it. Its been running without an issue for over 2 years now. I've replaced the hard drive with a laptop and managed to fit it under the hood.
@chemicallust77 It would work, Just need a larger radiator for more surface area. I've seen a similar set up to mine with a Core i7 and two GTX 285's and he kept it cool with a 240x240 radiator and fan.
@tezeu21 Mineral oil is non-conductive. The HDD cannot be submerged because it has moving parts, the HDD is hidden under the lid. Maybe once SSD's are a little cheaper, i'll mount one inside.
@sparkybaz77 a fridge cannot handle something that produces constant heat and will eventually burn out, not to mention use a ton of electricity while it did work.
@sparkybaz77 Humidity, evaparative coolers such as fridges have the problem of humidity forming through condensation. You would need a badass dryer system.
@Intel1502 That was a stress test, no pump or radiator. Just letting it get as hot as possible, basically the same as sticking it into a box with no air holes.
@Intel1502 That was a stress test, no pump or radiator. Just letting it get as hot as possible, basically the same as sticking it into a box with no air holes. You'll see in the video I then added a pump and radiator.

@Grey390 do you need to thoroughly clean out expansion slots when you want to upgrade? (say you want to add another graphics card) if so how do you clean it?
@JasonMediaCenter Mineral Oil has a flash point of 170C (335F), and a boiling point of 310C (590F). By definition, "Flammable liquid" means any liquid having a flashpoint below 100 deg. F. Therefore, Mineral Oil is not a flammable liquid, however it is a Class IIIB Combustible Liquid, meaning that it will burn, but must be exposed to high heat before it will sustain a flame.
@schwalbstar I guess in the best world you would use a pump as the fan could soon get upset with moving oil and just die thats very possible but since its a liquid I think a pump would do it, I see this kind of set up for a long team server if the corrosive is not 2 hi on the oil.
Still if we ever had to live in mineral oil at at lest we know our pcs would kind of work lol.
yes . lets make a heavy PC! (20kg+ ?)...idea is ok but too many negatives i think. great work when u have to substitute rams etc ;P the fan cooler dont break? the oil resistance is much higher for the fans than air..noticed any phenomena?
When I said I have a server I mean server not PC the is no added fans its a dell power edge server the motherboad its self is a dual xeon motherboard only one cpu in it tho so wont get that hot there and my hole question was about it eating away at the parts to the computer I could very easy make it just quiet but I want to do somethings new I was going to keep the edge case sealing all holes and with plexy as a nice see thought cover please keep on topic and thats the oil not fans lol
I been looking at this and really have to ask one self what stops the oil eating away at the parts yes its as something like a 0.0005 conductive level but what about its corrosive levels I googled a few times can't find the info about that, this would be a great idea I have a old server that is REALLY load and could do with a new life its been offline for along time now but if I can cut down the sound the device will be usable again.
would your computer short circuit and create a sparkle then lit your whole computer on fire and explode??????? KABOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
This is pure awesomness! :D I'd love to try that out someday, but i'd try find a better way to make the oil circulation higher and someway to make it cool without any fans on the outside of the case.
Love the idea because its 100% dustfree and looks very stable! Thumbs upp! :D
@greedyfoot tnx dude...you really helped....cause i have a fish tank and i realised how much work you need to do to keep this shit clean....and main thing is that oil is like....really really expensive in Serbia...so...imma pAss this :D

@toysareforboys1 what a bunch of bullshit!
i`ve got a mo-ra2 without fans and that will suffice as the oil dissipate and takes heat 5 times better than air.
the hard drive goes underneath the tank top so it is barely audible and if you want you can insulate the top with some sound sheets.
by the way, nothing is silent , all kind of energy are not silent, even light is not silent.
it is inaudible for human ear, not silent, so what you just said is just pure rhetoric.

@tezeu21 still how come it doesnt fry the HDD and all its components
omg101man 1 year ago
@tezeu21 Mineral oil is non-conductive. The HDD cannot be submerged because it has moving parts, the HDD is hidden under the lid. Maybe once SSD's are a little cheaper, i'll mount one inside.

Why not just stick it in the fridge?
sparkybaz77 1 year ago 31
@sparkybaz77 a fridge cannot handle something that produces constant heat and will eventually burn out, not to mention use a ton of electricity while it did work.
Grey390 1 year ago 43
@Grey390 not to mention the condensation of water which can short out the electrical components, which are... all of them. lol

@sparkybaz77 Humidity, evaparative coolers such as fridges have the problem of humidity forming through condensation. You would need a badass dryer system.

@Intel1502 That was a stress test, no pump or radiator. Just letting it get as hot as possible, basically the same as sticking it into a box with no air holes.

@Grey390 do you need to thoroughly clean out expansion slots when you want to upgrade? (say you want to add another graphics card) if so how do you clean it?

@JasonMediaCenter Mineral Oil has a flash point of 170C (335F), and a boiling point of 310C (590F). By definition, "Flammable liquid" means any liquid having a flashpoint below 100 deg. F. Therefore, Mineral Oil is not a flammable liquid, however it is a Class IIIB Combustible Liquid, meaning that it will burn, but must be exposed to high heat before it will sustain a flame.

@schwalbstar I guess in the best world you would use a pump as the fan could soon get upset with moving oil and just die thats very possible but since its a liquid I think a pump would do it, I see this kind of set up for a long team server if the corrosive is not 2 hi on the oil.
Still if we ever had to live in mineral oil at at lest we know our pcs would kind of work lol.

yes . lets make a heavy PC! (20kg+ ?)...idea is ok but too many negatives i think. great work when u have to substitute rams etc ;P the fan cooler dont break? the oil resistance is much higher for the fans than air..noticed any phenomena?

When I said I have a server I mean server not PC the is no added fans its a dell power edge server the motherboad its self is a dual xeon motherboard only one cpu in it tho so wont get that hot there and my hole question was about it eating away at the parts to the computer I could very easy make it just quiet but I want to do somethings new I was going to keep the edge case sealing all holes and with plexy as a nice see thought cover please keep on topic and thats the oil not fans lol
RexMode08 1 year ago
I hear that 12 hours is stable but after that the heat can creep up.
RexMode08 1 year ago
I been looking at this and really have to ask one self what stops the oil eating away at the parts yes its as something like a 0.0005 conductive level but what about its corrosive levels I googled a few times can't find the info about that, this would be a great idea I have a old server that is REALLY load and could do with a new life its been offline for along time now but if I can cut down the sound the device will be usable again.
Also have you dead run it for a good few days

@RexMode08 i recommend u reduce the fans as much as possible, look for noctua heatsinks they are effective and quiet

would your computer short circuit and create a sparkle then lit your whole computer on fire and explode??????? KABOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
dj41490 1 year ago
@dj41490 Nope because Mineral Oil is non-conductive, so nothing would short out. Mineral oil is also a good cooling agent.

This is pure awesomness! :D I'd love to try that out someday, but i'd try find a better way to make the oil circulation higher and someway to make it cool without any fans on the outside of the case.
Love the idea because its 100% dustfree and looks very stable! Thumbs upp! :D
