Computer In Cooking Oil

[kdani88]

what else could i use if i dont want to use oil? :P

[theuttertickler]

and after a week. the police will come to your house searching for a body due to the stench.

[nessnes64]

Make a pump system that cools the oil, now we're talking

[Blackoutx86]

Temperatures?



[mccutcheogeoff]

i have heard that if you leave it in there for too long the oil seeps in tho the capacitors and will mess with them?

[JusXstaR]

@mccutcheogeoff even if it did seep in the capacitor, i wouldnt imagone it wouldnt have any effect since oil isnt conductive

[Kindahuge]

lol, what's up with this ominous music?

[madhawa101]

use transformer OIL

[podbay]

This is interesting and fascinating, but the music is so not necessary. It's a distraction and really, really annoying.

[NikkiDogLeader]

How is'nt it short-circuting!?

[GitarStu]

@NikkiDogLeader oil isn't conductive.

[alewisgb]

how do you push the on button

[ajawofcopan]

is there a spigot on it to get oil out so you can beat off to porn?

[rusian5]

noob

[OMFGABLE1]

it would be such a hassle to upgrade your PC i would get water cooling but just put oil

[jspaz0]

This actually works. I wonder if its possible to do this with other stuff like a 360.

[Plur307]

Just use a fish aquarium. Attempting to seal all the holes will just be a big hassle.  If you have a leak it will be a giant mess. Just save the time and effort and get a fish tank.

[monkeychnky7]

isn't that mineral oil? because i have seen it done with that

[AzNsEnSaT1oN]

do you understand the concept of oil and water? although mineral oil is preferred, cooking oil would also work

[monkeychnky7]

i was asking a question..

[Plur307]

Cooking oil spoils over time. It would get cloudy and stink after a few weeks. Bacteria and other microscopic bugs can grow in it. Mineral oil stays sterile.

[cobrastomas]

ahahah play crysis and you card will overhead the oil and u can cook potatoes xD and make a hamburgers

[swamppy143669]

idk i did this at school with 2 computers ran them for 2 month straght without turning them off lol

[kylebond29]

epic

[taylorprice123]

where the fuck do u put cds and shit

would it work for an xbox

[Deadly699]

could you use distilled water?

also did it lower temps any?

[naronanda2]

ok and then you buy a new graphic card and then? you take 30 liters of oil? and you have fill that shit again? no thx

[funnyyuanquan]

u wasting oil our earth have little left

[chops3uy91]

its cooking oil you idiot its made out of vegetable or sunflowers or olives not dead creatures millions of years old

[Zaidmolina]

what a fool.. mineral oil is best.that shit will rot over time.. mineral oil never rots..

[k1awdttt]

This thing got more silicon than *some* porn stars :)

Great job!

[TheChubbyKid]

Where are the fries?

[ThoseOnesGuys]

you sir' are a retard, cooking oil (will most likely) fuck up your computer over time.

[bot51993]

well honestly ThoseOneGuys is right. but.... mineral oil is the bomb for this. i built a computer about a year ago with mineral oil. it works today. lol. its funny because its the same one i'm using to write this comment. and cooking oil is good. but you can't submerge a SSD in it. mineral oil you can though.

[odinata]

did yu throw the whole mess away when the oil went rancid? Or when it leaked all over the floor?

[Jackcc5]

well done man that was like WOW you deserve your 5 points on that one can you turn it blue with food coloring with out damaging? it

[6619723510]

mineral oil is clear-just a preference (maybe you could turn it blue!!!!!)

[carloto485]

they should realy put a pump and radiator to cool the oil its self

[van95122]

poor pc

[MaidenFan24568]

Wouldn't this like kill the computer eventually or are all the components protected?

[Hardscript]

it would take years because oil doesnt conduct

[baddjoojoo]

This is similar to how a neighborhood transformer is cooled. The oil is non-conductive and wicks away the heat generated by the CPU. the oil then disperses the heat into the surrounding environment.

[WackoX]

Jimaaras, Could be posible, if you wanna die..

[ThinBear4]

The biggest flaw of this cooling system is the upgrading. To upgrade your comp you would need to get it out of oil/pump out the oil. Imagine mounting a new graphics card and smearing your hands with oil...

I also think that it would be a little hard to mount there DVD/CD reader/writer and not getting it submerged in oil. (I think we all know why it shouldn't)

[DanKV870]

Yes it will be a hassle upgrading, but not 'that' hard. I have a small aquarium which I am using for my setup. All I will have to do when I upgrade is syphon (or pump, seeing I have a pump in there already which is connected to a radiator) out the oil, and then pull out the motherboard, and change the cards or whatever components. Surely you're not 'that' afraid of getting your hands a bit oily are you? It does wash off you know :)

[blowbomber]

i will try this, i have a complete computer system that i dont use.Just cool the oil and set!

[puma94a]

ps using mineral oil

[MrRodrigez]

Wtf how do people not understand this!? The oil is put in 1 time. It keeps the computer cool, and does not conduct electricity. In fact, you could even submerge a laptop in it. Another way to do this is with deionized water and a pelteir unit, but I think the water would eventually get slightly ionized from all the metals in the comp...so I wouldn't try it...feel free to though.

[swamppy143669]

i dont beleve this

[DanKV870]

Why not? Google it.. It really isn't that 'amazing'. I am doing it at the moment, I have a tank setup and a custom motherboard tray. I am just waiting on the oil that i've ordered.

[Jimaaras]

why not cold water?

[pimpedout8888888]

rofl

[Exotic47]

cause water conducts electricity, cooking oil doesn't. That means that if you took a swim in cooking oil and brought an iPod with you it would work.

[Jimbo2687]

The Newer Ipods wouldn't because of the harddrive. You can put everything in the cooking oil except for the Hard drive and CD drive. Yes even the power supply can go. :)

[feggesvensk]

Must be hard to bring to LAN

[BinboyProductions]

If you play it for long enough does it smell like French fries???

[The7thCircuit]

ive wondered that too lol kinda like biodeisel fumes...mmmm...fries

[wowshaadywarlok216]

i would say thats not a very good idea. i mean ya its cool, but in florida the economy is really bad. we are running out of oil and gas sources, so...

[Playboysmurf1]

What the hell is the point of this?

SPECIAL you got that right!

[InSaneTK]

It's for cooling.

[Gramsu]

the oil keeps the machine from getting too hot and lets it operate better.

[sasop117]

dos oil not conduced electrisiy?

[SilentD1]

That is gonna stink in a few months like rotten eggs. And looks like pee. Use mineral oil

[penetrus]

wszystko ma swoją pojemność cieplną także olej i bez chłodnicy to możesz to wszystko o kant dupy rozbić. Poza tym wiatrak pracujący w oleju z powodu oporów jakie musza pokonac jego łopatki sam wydziela wiecej ciepła, a olej jak juz to musi być rzadki transformatorowy.

[nikrus15]

Can somebody please tell me how to temporarily turn off my fan in my computer? I have a microphone and it constantly makes a static sound, so i think the fan is blowing on the soundcard.

[bucko1s]

unplug it.

[CRAKIZGOOD]

btw guyz u can put a 8800gtx and a quad there

just get a bigass heatsink from thermalright

a ultra 120 extreme for the cpu and a heatsick for a 8800gtx but u must have a pump there

[siriusgamer]

I hope you didn`t need that computer, and did it work after?

[p1zl3]

Cool concept but vegetable oil makes it look like someone pissed in the tank... Looks better with mineral oil.

[siriusgamer]

Yeah, you wouldn`t want anyone to mistake that vegetable for urine.

[p1zl3]

"Hey, you gotta check-out Doug's new computer! Apparently, from what I could see, it's cooled with human urine. It's his new 'Piss-C' computer!" (*snicker*)

I guess fluid levels would be a breeze to maintain. :-)

[FlyingAce1717]

theres one thing i question: how do we know this is the computer connected to the monitor? the real comp could be under the table... even if this does work, im pretty sure ur warranty wont cover damage due to oil submerging haha

[theroastedpotatoman]

dont use cooking oil it can degrade some rubbers and plastic its much safer using minerail oil minerail oil is wats used in subtation transformers and such

[slayeriskilling]

is the computetr absolute quiet??

[Grey390]

Well in this video, they didnt submerge the power supply so that would make 'some' noise, but if you check out my videos ( I used mineral oil) I submerged everything except for the hard drive and it IS absolutely quiet. The submerged fans make no noise at all, but they do help circulate the oil inside the tank (and look really cool). I have to look at the tank to tell if it is on. And best of all, there is no dust, ever!

[ivionday]

Gross. none of these oil PC videos show how effective the oil is for noise reduction. why else would you do this anyway?

[sixeskid]

ITs corsoive not oil use non ionic water

[marctc3]

i guess if your a fatass nerd you can make some food and shit

[uksimmer]

and if it overheats, throw some chips in and cook up a snack ;)

[phil414]

why would you wanna do that its retarted just fuckin up your shit and your gonna have a huge case of oil in your room. i guess if your a fatass nerd you can make some food and shit

[saleenking]

that was fuckin retarded

[MIXMASTAPWN]

u can use many other types of liquids all u need is something thats not a conductor really and cooking oil smells like shit and goes bad after a while

[bigbeckster1234]

be funny if it just blew up and electrocuted they guy that will teach him a lesson

electronics and liquids don't mix!!

[JATYmusic]

Welcome to the moron club and thanks for proving that your very little knowledge is dangerous. Not all liquids are conductors.

[bigbeckster1234]

i said "moron" it would be Funny WOULD is the the key WOULD

[themcniels]

well. some liquids do. (like oil) oil don;t guide electricety.

[slayersdeath]

it would be funny if it happend to you dipshit

[bigbeckster1234]

but i would never try it i wuld be bound to fuck it up! dipshit

[Alucard106]

Yup... and my motherboard dies then what ?

I think that is a problem...

[vjayNazra7]

Any solvents would be out of the question because they could eat the pcb etching. Oil seems feasible even motor oil might work better.

[sneakyimp]

Yes but what are the benchmark specs???

[locobox]

Just add some salt and Voila! XD XD XD

[sluggyjunx]

Just don't tip it over... oi

[GNoodle]

that's a lot of oil

[a5hatch]

so what happens if you want to replace a video card or somethin, I mean, you could but its going to be a mess... What temps is the comp running at with the oil versus with just fans?

[DrLsw]

opps i meant would mineral oil work?

[1Ali380]

Yes

[DrLsw]

would mineral oil?

[Blinx56]

no because its the minerals tht conduct electrcity it wud fry the pc.

[JATYmusic]

Uhm, bullshit. In fact, a company in the Pacific Northwest used mineral oil, and it's been up and running (nearly silently, I might add) for several months.

[Blinx56]

well im so sorry mr dip shit replying to comments that are months old. get a life fuck off die. i really really hope you die. if not i will do it myself. call me a pussy behind a pc but tbh i wud meet up with you and kick ur ass.

[p1zl3]

LOL! "Right outta the ass" with that point! Mineral oil has been used in high voltage-electrical transformers and is considered to be a great electrical insulator. Don't you wish they had a comment "delete" option for those dumb comments that sometimes slip out?

[Push0k]

pretty cool but not something i would do to my computer

[FS747]

u haf to use a certain nonconductive oil and it's completely concieveable. i don't know what it is but ive heard of something.

[PhoneReview]

So no protection at all for the mobo and wires and peripherals? :O wouldn't it die?

[whyteo]

Would Gasoline(Petrol) or Alcohol work? That stuff is really volatile (absorbs heat rapidly).

Changing components would be a bit difficult with it being in oil. Not sure the RMA would go through.

[CaptMaxz]

try it and post a vid step by step while you are trying it not end result

[shamoosisbad]

maybe new cooling method, but not taking any risks :p

[idiotsbuiltme]

Use transformator oil! Transformator oil doesn't smell like this and is much more transparent.

[w4rsh1p]

thats pretty awesome. I want to see some guy use ethanol or something and have it spark off. i guess you'd need oxygen though.

[Aeryk333]

Well... It is not so unusual technically, utility transformers are also in an oil tank which serves cooling and insulating. Hint: try PCP/PCB free mineral oil. It is more stable than cooking oil.

[kaz247]

well cool and nice but havy to lift and move around and it get slippery if u want to change some drives or add components so i prefer oter ways of cooling but i have to say cool idea anyway

[TropicalSensation]

he just does

[godmaker]

what about the HDD? is it in the oil too? and how do you cool the oil?

[ratfinkle]

if you look, all the optical drives and the HDD are on a little platform above the PSU, and the oil is the complete cooling system

[ExplodingTeeth]

Never put the HDD in the oil.

[Sleeeeve24]

Oh god

[JATYmusic]

THe head dissipates through the oil. One system runs at 88 C under full load in a 6 gallon tank. Putting a simple radiator on it - no fans, dropped it to 43 C.

The HD is not in oil, or can the optical drives be in oil. In this guy's video, he used silicone to seal air compartments for them to rest in.
