  • what do you use this machine for "Gaming?" or are you lighting up the street

  • Do you need to keep the oil at a certain temp?

  • whats the fan on the outside for?

  • fuck the fish! :') circuit fish all the way ;D

  • darn i want to put a usb device in but i dont want to get oil on my hands

  • you should make an instructional or inbox me on how to do this. i get the "toss electronics in aquarium" part, but the cooling part... how you do it?

  • One question:

    Why there is a car in there?

  • @Arkaskas1 cos' there is not a scull, sunken shipwreck or treasure chest.....im into cars..... so i chose a car from dobbies garden centre

  • I bet you have an aquarium for a screen saver! :P

  • @jakedowmanfrench hahaha..... I DO....it's dream aquarium

  • fake

  • @peterhabenichts wrong

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT yeah i hate ppl saying this is fake cause they are too dumb to look up mineral oils stats, doesn't conduct electricity and it transfers heat 5 times better then air, but from what i read on the Puget systems website, bubbler is only for effect but they did notice heat spikes in their vid card having a bubbler on it! put you did the smart thing and left the PSU out that creates a tonne of heat!

  • @peterhabenichts Oil has a high heat capacity, so it takes this computer about twelve hours to reach a temperature of around eighty degrees Celsius. Mineral oil, unlike water and most other liquids is non-conductive, so the electronics do not short out. Heat generated by the PC is transferred into the mineral oil at a rate over 5 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT than air because the mineral oil is pumped through a radiator to dissipate the heat into the ambient air. So no, it's not fake. :)

  • @peterhabenichts u are fake

  • This is actually cool as hell. How exactly do you maintain the oil at a homeostatic temperature? Or is just dumping it in there fine? You've inspired me to build a rig like this, Badass. Oh yeah, the bubbler is just aesthetic, right?

  • @somecrazywhore well with the hardware i'm using (6 years old) the oil never goes above 40c as the tank has a surface area of 8 square feet ....i just use 2 12cm case fans blowing a little air over the tank walls

    but with top of the line hardware in there.... i don't know you might want to pump the oil out and through a radiator

    or do what im going to do in the future .... pump a colder liquid from outside the tank, through a radiator that is inside the oil tank

  • i wish fish could live in it

  • If you attached a hand dispenser for internet porn, every geek in the world would buy this thing.

  • Can i use this on my mac? haha just kidding.

    what is this exactly used for?

  • @BMCBP cooling

  • @BMCBP Keeping the rig cool, which is perfect for heavy overclocking.

  • I actually want to know what the audio track is now :p

  • wheres the fish?hahaha. coool.

  • jeszcze kurwa rybki wpuść

  • *Fills shopping trolley with 50 bottles of baby oil*

    /hatersgonahate.jpeg 

  • so wait.... you just throw your computer in a tank of baby oil, plug it in, turn it on, and it works fine still?

  • @GH0STsouthpaw basically yeah... just don't put in your hdd's or dvd/cd drive but everything else is fine to go swimming

  • I've got one question for this kind of setup. Does the extra resistance the oil causes make fans more likely to break on components?

    & do you have a speaker in there? HAHAHA

  • @iKaGe01 simple answer....no

  • @iKaGe01 I would think not, if you turn down the fanspeed the viscosity shouldnt be an issue

  • do you need special kind of computer parts so the oil wont damage the computer parts? my Budget is $2500 and i have $500 left and i want to do this. So could i just get my computer parts and put it together in a fish tank and put the oil in?

  • @hibrian9 try it first with a working free of very cheap computer first maybe , just to refine your ideas and you will learn alot.... then move onto a better build with some nicer hardware if you want to

    the hardware im using is like 6 years old but im not a big pc gamer anymore i just use this as a M.A.M.E , internet , music , movie , multimedia unit now

  • WHat brand of oil is this?

  • great way to trash your yunk haha i wounder if some one was that crazy to try it haha

  • This is epic. Just wondering though... Why exactly do you even need fans in a setup like this?

  • @TacticoolGUY circulation of the oil giving a nice even temperature all over

    and i can lift the whole computer out of the oil in 1 go and place it in a dry dummy tank (with no front) if i want to work on it ....as it still has the fans and thermal paste i can just plug it all in again and check everything is fine for a few hours use before i re-dunk it

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT Ah, ok. Thank you very much. It is a very awesome setup. Sorry if its a annoying question or anything like that, i tried looking through comments to see if i could find an answer with no luck. Thank you for getting back to me. Great job, and it is very impressive.

    Very cool. Cheers.

  • @TacticoolGUY thanks dude....yeah there are like 2000 comments now and its now becoming a great way of finding out the answers to any questions about this type of cooling method.

  • Fuck it, I'm building a new pc, so I'm doing this with my old rig for shits and grins.

  • 93 people dont like liquid :(

  • the downside of this is the maintenance. after a year, the oil will kinda get murky and slimy. but i think its ok :)

  • @TjohnBL the oil is fine ..... i remember seeing an old bottle of baby oil at my grandparents house after they died .... they used to own 2 shops and when they retired in 1978 any stock left over they just took and used (i don't think they ever needed to buy soap ever again as there was hundreds of bars still in the house)

    one of those things was babyoil and it was still fine ....it doesn't have a use by date

  • the only problem is putting the hard disk inside the oil .. but the clip is real i my self had made the same experiment .

  • xou muito bom

  • HOw Do you Cool the Mineral oil Down when it gets hot?

    

  • @OcRefrigeration RADIATORS :D

    

  • Where's the fish!?

  • I like how you have a Johnson's Baby Oil sticker next to your case badges.

  • hmm,

    how many bottles of baby oil did you use???

    hahah

  • I want this, sooooo great!

  • That's a cool idea... but just wondering how are you gonna... say, upgrade your graphic card in the future? How to make sure the oil doesn't get to the connection pins?

  • @stevenswu the oil is so thin that the connector pins are all tight enough to overcome any oily coating .... i have already replaced the gpu as it was a 6600 and i put in a 7650 ...only took 10 minutes

  • @Stormyguyx lol me too

  • It would ruin the drive because there would be unequal pressure.

  • @steve101968 you can't submerge the hard drive because there is a small hole in the casing that equalizes the pressure.

  • And now you can say to your friends: "Hey, watch me play Crysis on my aquarium!!!" xD

  • it lol'd me when i saw the window xp sticker and intel sticker on the fish tank.

  • Most people put the PSU in the mineral oil as well since the fan inside of it will help to circulate the mineral oil...Any way, very cool. That would really suck balls though if for some reason all that oil spilled on your carpet. You would never be able to get that shit out.

  • xD Go with W7 dude xp suck and a nvidia :) is a 64 or 32 bits AMD atlon you have? great pc.

  • @NarutoUzumaki001200 dude.... xp doesn't suck .... it does everything i want it to and is super super stable as i can run this machine 24/7 without a restart for months on end

    go into any office and i guarantee you they will be using winxp my wife works at loyds/tsb/halifax/bank of scotland and they use winxp

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT Me is Windows 7 Enteprise or MAC I love your aquarium pc ^^ 

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT hahaha...me too...still using xp...cos xp is the stable os i had using

    

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT Um they use XP cuz to upgrade cost money. Herp Derp

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT =) xp is whats up, none of this vista garbage and windows 7, i need a computer not a cloud. glad people still realize xp is the greatest

  • @turkeyguy0 and i have to admit with a little tweaking (windowblings,icon packeger,icon x) it can look so so much nicer

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT this is true, though i'm all about functionality

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT Yes hes right xp was the best UNTIL WIN 7! And I can leave it on 24/7 to only it does EVERYTHING faster! Graphics better! You won't know until you actually try it! I know VISTA left a sour taste in everyone's mouth but 7 is the best ever and 8 will actually be even better!

  • @prophit06 but every single program, tool or application i use every day i have on cd/dvd/hdd...it'll be a pain in the tits getting it all setup, updated, looking and feeling the way im used to

    im just not one of these guys that goes " oh look Nero 9.9.7.2 is out... oh and so is the new Nvidia 341.4 driver i must install them right away"

    if a program does what i want it to do im happy...i only updated to winxp sp2 because i had to...my new 1.5tb external hdd would only read 137gb or something

  • put some fisshies in therexD jk... they'd die instantly

  • alrite this is awesome can you make a how to and can you still install ram and hard drives or no?

  • So... the temps?

  • 0:53 I love how you put the stickers on the tank lol. Even the "Johnson's Baby Oil" sticker :D

  • Will the cooling fans in the oil wear out really quickly due to the extra load of the oil versus air?

    How comes the other components are not in the oil too?

  • @PingmanGTFOUR 18 months on my fans are fine....and you cant put in your dvd drive for obvious reasons and hdd's cant go in either as they also have spinning parts inside but ssd's are fine they can go in the oil

  • Isn't the fan purely for decoration at that point?

  • @HighLevelPlayer no the fans provide good circulation of the oil and i can still run it dry out of the oil in a dry dummy tank if i want to work on it for any reason

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT do you have any smell of baby oil all over the place coz i've been looking everywhere for a clear oil and i can't find it

  • why are all the comments so long? *this is cool*

  • this is gotta be the fakest shit ive ever seen there is no memory in the slot so its cant even be running with out the memory and this shit is so ghetto rid that i wouldnt be supirsed if u ended up getting shocked or catching something on fire

  • @WarriorValkor Seriously Guy learn your pci slots from your memory slots...then talk crap.

  • @WarriorValkor do you think i would go to the bother of getting a fish tank , filling it with a clear liquid , stones , a bubbler pump , wiring up the fans to a battery so they spin , fake my pc on l.e.d with a fake l.e.d , and putting it all together , video it , and post it on youtube

    for it not to work ..and be fake

    it's true check it out for 5 minutes

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT

    To be fair we dont really get a look at the RAM. Just out of interest did you go for mineral oil or Baby. I have to say though this one cool set up really nice work. And I learn't something. I thought you had to remove all fans.

    I still dont understand onething though why cant you submerge a HDD. The case has to be air tight why cant you put it in. Just as a small suggestion. It would be really cool if you got some of those fake fish.

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT How much did all the baby oil cost? in GBP. cheers

  • @WarriorValkor fake? We built one for a class project in my Cisco Networking class. It's legit. It's not conductive liquid like water so you can't get shocked. Why don't you learn about physics and well......anything for that matter, before you start bashing someone. Noob.

  • For real?

  • Fucking crazy motherfucker.

  • this is crazy i wasnt even looking at anything on youtube and i saw this and it just had me stumped, some nice stuff

  • The maintenance must be terrible, right?

  • @ChromiumRainbow it's zero maintenance....EVER

  • You sir are playing music from a fishtank... well done i must say. Why is there a computer there anyway?

  • Okay is it me, or did i just find a video with an underwater computer? O.o

    Did he just like dump everything in a fish tank filled with mineral oil? exactly how does that work? no shocks or problems? that is one weird experiment...

  • @codaassasin it works exactly the same as a watercooling .... only in this you use a liquid that can not conduct electricity so you don't need to pump it around tubes and waterblocks you can just dump your computer in it

  • Doesn't that kind of like Babyoil in the room? Or does the smell go away after some time?

  • @Phalanxtv1875 it's a nice smell anyway you can even buy yankee candles in that smell....but it doesn't last long it only lasted about a month

  • question that probably has been asked:

    If you like to change/add ram or a video card, you probably have to clean everything very well so there is no oil isolating the contacts? greets!

  • @ArnoutDeVos the oil is so thin that there is no problem with the contacts.... there all more than tight enough to overcome the liquid

  • hmm robot fish invading earth

  • dont forget to mention that you dont have to worry about dust collecting on it, BTW do you have any screen shots of the cpu temp and do you overclock?

  • i like it but you need a skull in the tank

  • HAHAH I love the Johnsons baby oil sticker on it.

  • Wait if its submerged wont it break?

  • @coleboy23 no because the oil is a non electricity conducting liquid meaning that it wont cause a short circuit and therefore wont break the computer.

  • @coppersn4ke That is amazing

  • don't no know i ended up on this video, but im glad i did, gonna be honest i dont understand WTF is going on (i understand its oil cooling from the title but thats the peak of my knowledge of this) this shit is coooooooool!

  • @1992mrmatt it's simple really ....

    heat is transfered into a liquid way way quicker than it can be transfered into air

    imagine 2 red hot pieces of metal, put 1 in room temprature water for 30 seconds and just wave the other in the air for the same time ...... which would you then hold in your hand

    it just so happens there is a readily available, realatively inexpensive, non-electricly conducting, clear, non-toxic, low viscocity, liquid ..... mineral oil/baby oil

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT im still abit confused as why it can work in the oil without damaging your system but computers aren't my strong point :) i wish my computer looked like that :P feels like a sin as im sitting here on some shitty valo laptop! ty for the vid and reply - nice to know that some people don't come on youtube just for an arguement ! :)

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT Could that work without the fans or maybe without the heatsink as well?

  • @BruceCarbon yes it will work with no fans.....but you do run the risk of lets say the oil right next to the cpu core getting too hot

    if you tried it with no heat sinks as well ....i don't really know it might work but that's alot of heat to dissapate into the oil and only 2 square centimetres of cpu to do it

    i did read somewhere that a cpu has more heat per square centimetre than the surface of the sun ....dunno if that's true ....maybe the mythbusters could test it...lol

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT Thank you for answering my question. :) ... Erm that with the sun isn't true btw. But a CPU has more heat per square centimeter than a hotplate ;) btw nice device :D

    atb

  • @1992mrmatt it appears the oil cools the mother board and he has fans cool the hard drive maybe he fitted everything on the motherboard with a plug so the oil would not get in and ruin it but honestly idk either.

  • Nothing Like you got Johnson & Johnson's as a sticker DECAL, LOL!!!! TIGHT STUFF MAN.

  • THERE A F****IN FIRE IN MY HOUSE CAUSE THE OIL GOT TOO HOT O SHIT ON MY FACE!!!! ahahahaha

  • does it need more electricity than normal because of the oil that slows down the fans?

  • @Leli196 no ... the fans are only like 1or2 watt brushless motors

    the resistance on the fans motor is the same as in air

    what does an average fan spin at in air 3,000 5,000 rpm

    now remove the fan from the motors shaft

    i bet that motor would spin up to about 10,000 rpm or even higher

    my fans max out at 600 rpm as thats there max speed in liquid

  • Oil-immersed electronics is actually more common than people think. In an ocean environment, this practice is used with anything that goes underwater that must withstand the pressures of the deep like an underwater ROV or remotely operated vehicle (e.g., JasonII is ROV that has electronics compartments that are either titanium pressure vessels for the sensitive electronics or special oil-filled boxes for the pressure tolerant electronics and wire junctions).

  • Mother of god o.o

  • theres no circutry problems in the oil (like rusting or lack of oxygen for the pc parts)?

  • I see 4 empty RAM slots. So I guess my question is... I see 4 empty RAM slots.

  • @Keltibarian oh no you don't... what your seeing is 4 empty pci slots....ram is located under the cpu cooler the mobo has been flipped 90 degrees clockwise

  • So when its time to upgrade what will u do sir?

  • I may be high, but where is the RAM?

  • What happens when the oil gets hot?

  • @bobulibobium the oil never goes above 40c even at 100% load for a whole day..... the warmer the oil gets the further from room temp it goes so it becomes harder to keep heating it up further ....so it reaches a limit and that's 40c

  • too bad fish couldnt live in mineral oil because that would be bad ass

  • just wondering but condensation will build up wont it? thatll get in the oil. so do you change the oil?

  • @minibikerfreestyle he said zero maintenance, so no he doesn't replace the oil

  • @Jontseg so does he run a water separator?

  • @minibikerfreestyle the environment is probably sealed enough where the condensation that builds up is irrelevant.

  • @minibikerfreestyle there is no where near enough humidity in the air and the air is nowhere near cold enough to condense

    water getting in is not an issue

  • А в аквариуме воду часто меняете?)))))))))))))

  • Comment removed

  • damn, that takes balls, but i guess because its not water its fine, a well proven theory

  • hmm watching this video give me some idea about my dust prolem, might try something like this in the future. thanks man.

    now if only u can put some fish inside that tank it gonna be very very cool :D (j/k)

  • What's the music in the background in the 1st min pls?

  • add to that. everything inside the tank including the light bulbs heat are all absorbed by the oil. so to say, this RIG has more HEAT than in a usual CPU cases. but, the good thing is, a specs submerged into a liquid closed tank is a DUST proof and thus oil help mantain every cycling materials to mantain its smoothness in motion! and thats the usual reason why most pc breaks, power interruptions and inconsistent fan speed because of dusts stacking inside the fan.

  • its good if its an average/above average specs! but if its for networking server desktop or high end specs pc. u are fcking up your computer on the fastest way. oil absorbs more heat than in an open space, that means when the computer heats up, and that oil volume cannot absorb the usual temperature anymore, it will increase more temp than in a usual open space, and it will cool down in a longer time because oil has a thinner oxygen.

  • atleast ur motherboard will have a smooth texture

  • its mineral oil its non conductive

  • do you have any problems with inside fans like short lifespan because of the oil resistancy

  • @spiderpig641154 i was just about to ask the same question. was thinking of doing this with my pc

  • @spiderpig641154 more than 18 months on .....no

    but don't worry fans are very cheap 

  • i don't understand how does this work in the wather

  • @xMateJxC cos' its not water

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT You know you can put the power supply in the mineral oil.

    Just don't put the hhd or cd in it lol

  • @xMateJxC Its mineral oils, Mineral oil doesn't effect your computer it doesn't have water in it. It cost alot to do it, But if you have dirt the mineral oil will have to redo it with clean mineral oil.

    I got this is my Computer im a computer tech

  • How do take that thing to any LAN-Partys?!

  • @TheRyoyo i don't go to lan party's and i don't play games on it

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT What do you do with it then. ._.

  • @InsurtUsarNaim you don't really think pc's are just for playing games on right.....

  • @BUBBABLACKMEAT If you're not going to play games on it, then why the hell would you want to cool it like that.

  • @InsurtUsarNaim Maybe he is doind some other processor intensive work?

  • @MYsterYmarcus Lol with an athlon? I doubt it.

  • @InsurtUsarNaim Maybe he couldn't afford a better CPU? Is it impossible to do other kinds of work other then gaming on an Athlon processor?

  • @MYsterYmarcus There is no other kind of work you can do with an Athlon that requires this type of cooling. Other than overclocking, which is only used for gaming or 3D rendering, which you would not have an Athlon for.

  • @InsurtUsarNaim And why wouldn't you have an overclocked Athlon for 3D rendering, or other work? Maybe he just wanted a silent computer?

  • @MYsterYmarcus There IS no other work that is processor intensive, other than gaming and 3D rendering, that you could possibly do with an Athlon, and anyone who is doing that, would know not to get a processor like that. Maybe he just did it cause he got bored or something Idfk.

  • @InsurtUsarNaim There is actually alot of other work that can be done on an Athlon CPU. Rendering, photo-editing, movie-editing, running some kind of server, folding etc.

    Why wouldn't someone who can't afford a better processor use this? What is the CPU that you recommend that costs the same as the Athlon did in march 2011?

  • @MYsterYmarcus That's not what I mean, what I mean is why would you need this type of cooling with something like this. MAYBE an Athlon II x4 if you overclocked, REALLY high.

  • @InsurtUsarNaim Maybe he want's a quiet computer. Maybe he want's it to look good.

  • @TheRyoyo oh okay.^^

  • @TheRyoyo lan parties are dead.

  • @TheRyoyo I think that the LAN Party's come to him

  • @TheRyoyo wtf is a lan party

  • Is the Mainboard Splittet with the Water?

  • @MrAllroUnder24 its not water

  • ever get any rocks flying up into the shit?

  • @evilsandwich2 no never 

  • how can this be silent when you have so many fans on? i highly doubt it is silent. even in my antec p180 i can get a whisper quiet system. if you're gonna go through this much trouble with oil, why run so many fans outside the oil?

  • @soloartist232 the fans outside are under-volted case fans using the lower voltage from the molex connectors so there totally silent

  • How is this possible?

  • @youngd404 it use baby oil not water water conducts electricity but baby oil dont
