love the dell jokes ahahhahahh keep it up. would change one thing though how you said you would only recommend if someone had a dell. well alienware is part of dell lol
Does thermal paste hold up well under mineral oil? Even though the CPU isn't attached to the heat sink, how is the GPU sink doing after running in the oil for a while?
Remember, you only need an incredibly thin layer of thermal paste, in any application, for it to be effective. The amount of thermal paste we used was much more than what you would use on a GPU or CPU dye.We ran the emulsification test on the arctic silver just to see under a worse case scenario if the oil became conductive, and if it did, it would have been more wise to use a silicone based compound. This was not the case however, and the mineral oil remained non conductive.
asus makes the computers for dell BITCHES...

You think i could dip a whole server blade into a fish tank? its a small server blade. It might need a radiator?

@alfredorss hmmm, you would need to find the approximate heat dissipation of the blade, and compare it to that of an average 300W PC

@chubiboi101 yeah and alienware is overpriced shit. it looks good but you could build a pc with the same specs for a quarter of the price

Can it run without the cpu heatsink on?

@JAF5537 no, there isn't enough surface area on the cpu dye to disperse the heat even in the oil. it would probably fail in a couple seconds.

We plan on re-visiting this video in a followup and answer the rest of your questions.
