  • Whats kind of oil is he using? 10W-30W

  • hdd is not sealed hermetically, i think this guy's hdd will work until oil gets to disk area.

  • You guys are morons, it is completely possible to cool your PC with vegetable oil. Search it up.

  • how is this supposed to cool anything? what about the "DO NOT COVER" vent holes ?

  • /watch?v=6PZaO7C_IB8

    working HDD in oil, beotch

  • did you just fried a chicken before the hard drives?

  • RIP HDD noob

  • You do realize it may not be immediate but oil goes inside splatters all over the platters and then makes em off balance and they shatter, right?

  • Wow, sure is quiet when the drive are dead.

  • 2:18 and..... it's fucked.

  • Search "destroy HDD" to see a much quicker way to do this.

  • I bet the OP regretted this after about a week when his HDD stopped working.

  • Oh yea people dont do this it might work for a little while but then the oil will actually get into the hdd and ruin it

  • is that cooking oil?

  • nadaro!!! ;)

  • i feel sorry for you neo... folk aint gonna cut you no slack and i am sure you wont repeat that experiment again.....

  • all ur data... down the drain

  • Dide n e 1 else see how the power is connected but the ribbon cable isnt connected to anything. WOW

  • @c4pt1n54n0 yeah i saw that

  • @c4pt1n54n0 at 6:42 - 6:50 ish where the video jumps... yeah its him going "oh shit why wont it boot!... ohh wait I didn't plug in the hard drive!"

  • super slient = super dead....

  • you are reallly dumb.. fo real

  • ma fammi il piacere

  • @4:20 you can see the baboon that did this tragic mistake.. 

  • lol it looks like motor oil, idiot -.-

  • Dude... unless that this is a solid-state HD... you DO NOT submerge it in oil...

    its a moving disk.. oil makes it run slower... Oil cooling is great... but you never put de HDD in!

  • hella nasty. i wouldnt put that oil in my pc.

  • nasty

  • lol you put your hdd*s in oil but you got a air cooling system xD

  • LOL motor oil. what a moron.

  • omg

    and WHY THE FUCK only the HHDs ???

    and WHY in THIS oil ???

  • FAIL!  FUCKTARD! never EVER EVER EVER do that to a drive....

  • well if you realy want to put a harddrive in oil take a smal air hose to the breating hole en seal it so that no oil can get in but air can circulate

  • HDD OIL SKOOLD , SUPER STUPID

  • Trollface?

  • Why would you cool an old hard drive with motor oil? That shitty computer is definatly not overclocking material. I'm sure you're supposed to use mineral oil, and on the processor, motherboard, ram graphics. Still I'd never use oil for anything.

  • it would have been nice to hear the drivers before they were submerged but they do sound pretty quiet. also, you should put some sort of tube where the holes are so liquid doesn't pass into them

  • is that fucking motor oil?! your stupid.

  • dude dont do that with a hdd only ssd

  • Wow ur stupid!

    Il vostro stupido! HDD hanno buchi d'aria per regolare i cambiamenti nella pressione dell'aria. In questo modo si ottiene l'olio nel drive e rovinarlo. Si può immergere tutto il resto in un computer in olio minerale però. Potrebbe funzionare con un disco rigido a stato solido anche se

  • stupid KID

  • this is what idots do

  • byebye Hdd,

  • $10 says this is just him trolling you all.

  • @mikehunterpunt it is lol, these harddrive are freaking old like 50g

  • @mikehunterpunt holy shit your money can talk!!!

  • Way to go (idiot) dude... instead of putting 1 hdd in there for test, you decided to show us how stupid you are and decided to drop your mom's HDD too... so any important data excluding your gay and hentai porn movies will be deleted.

  • the biggest idiot of all time

  • I would laugh if the harddrive slipped and the oil splatted on him

  • Before i would do this, i would buy a silent CPU Cooler and other silent stuff .. your pc is louder then my vacuum cleaner!!!

  • wow this has to really slow it down

  • since your SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOO smart with hard drives, can you tell me how o preform the Wubi function to partition a hard drive in a Macintosh so i can install a second operating system??? i didn't think so. your an idiot.

  • wat a retard.

  • WTF u can put all in this "used matoroil?!" but never, REALLY NEVER ANY DRIVES -.-

  • Why didn't this make it to Failblog?

  • fuckpig

    

  • You sir, are an idiot.

  • I bet you that he saw on youtube all those oil cooled computers and thought you could cool the hard drives with oil too....even t hough on 90% of those it says don't put your hard drive in the oil

  • Comment removed

  • Uhm wth was i just watching? It looks like a retard trying to give birth to another retarded kid...

  • How long did the harddrive work? 1 Hour max? ><

  • probably did enough damage with ur scissors dumbass

    and that is just a nasty ass waste of money on something that would be fine with nothing at all cooling it

  • how many times did the blue screen of death showed up? so many you lost count, oh ok

  • dude you are screwed.....2 weeks and yr disk will start developing bad sectors and die

  • "HD OIL COOLED, SUPER STUPID"

  • that is as useful as putting your finger up your belly button... submerge the whole thing or nothing, plus hdds don't heat up that much, a simple fan would be much better, nice try...

  • And when you get bored about oil, what else..

    Arent you going to use the dishwasher to clean that mess up, are you?

  • I question the heat dissipation ability of that oil, looks like crude.

  • All hardrives have a air hole if you cover it with oil it will not work proper? every one please dont try this at home.

  • luckily, not everyone is as pessimistic as some of you people are or else we'd all still be banging rocks together. sometimes you have to take a risk to discover something great. and if the drives fail miserably? who cares, at least he can say definitively that the idea did or didnt work for him, rather than bashing other peoples ideas and experiments on the web.

  • all the people bashing this idea crack me up. how much HANDS ON research have you done to prove that this is not a feasible idea? most of you have no more a clue than the poster does. yes his hard drives will probably fail after a time in the oil, but maybe they wont? maybe if the vent holes are oriented downward the pressure inside the HDD will prevent enough oil from intruding to interfere with the read heads/platters. its hard to say as there just isnt that much research into the subject.

  • buy some tools you stupid kid. amateur.

  • my HDD has a sticker next a hole - it says "do not cover this hole" - i guess oil "covers" that hole right ?

  • @GolfVariantCL Oil may flow through the hole to HDD and broke it.

  • mom come look what i did i finally used my school supplies for something

  • I hate maxtors. The only good thing about submerging it in oil is it is now completely prepped for incineration.

  • this would work, the disks are air tight.

  • @ackack47 Hard Drives are not air tight, they have heavy filtered holes to equalize pressure inside with outside, these are so filtered not even the smallest pieces of dust can get it, however liquid can

  • @wezternator

    So basically, dust can't get in or out, but liquids can?

  • @darkwolfy503 well yes...although there is no dust in there to start with, the reader heads only a few hundred nano-metres from the disks, if a peice of dust got in there it would destroy the whole device

  • @wezternator

    Well that's always good to know, I thought they were water tight, they seem like it anyway.

  • @darkwolfy503 hdd hava vakuum. They must air & water tight

  • kurwa a myslalem ze cos ciekawego pokaze

  • I will have to try this immediately.....

  • Oh god is that used deep fryer oil?

    1. Use mineral oil only.

    2. Eventually even oil collects water from the airs humidity so at some point it will electrocute you.

    3. Moving parts+liquid=bad idea

  • @XxanthonykanexX

    "moving parts+liquid=badidea" uhhuh.. drain the motor oil out of your car and drive to the next state and tell me how it goes.

  • @Grimganker Motor oil is used to lubricate not cool, its two completely different things.

  • wow this is boring

  • is it me or @ 5:35 i can almost hear the HDD cooking itself?

  • HDD Always needs air... unless you need to destroy it :p

  • Did you smoked crack? O.o

    The oil just ruined your hdd.

  • 1. NEVER put a HDD in oil. Anything with a moveing part dont put in. Unless its a fan. You can use a SSD but they cost allot. Also that oil you put it in is it gravy or something? You planning on roasting it for sunday?

  • Super silent becouse they dont work anymore

  • @Rustyy4 Exactly what i thought..

  • he cools the HDD instead of his cpu o_O?

  • Never submerge an hard drive in anything but AIR. Ever.

  • @Ageira That's an old Quantum Fireball and what looks to be an older Maxtor, so I doubt he cared.

  • @Ageira your wrong, I've had a non-ssd submerged in oil for over a year, it's fine

  • @Ageira except SSD's....

  • Its true @Ageira, I built an oil PC and everything worked fine for an hour, after than the oil got in the hard drive and it died. Now I put the another HDD outside the aquarium and everything else inside:)

  • lol lol lol man you can simply reduce the noise by using your underwear.. how? here is my simple method watch?v=sym2p5bB19E

  • HDDs have air holes to regulate changes in air pressure. Doing this will get oil in the drive and ruin it. You can submerge everything else in a computer in MINERAL oil though. Might work with a solid state hard drive though.

  • @tehooper not cd roms though if you enclose the inside or use one where you swap roms using scuzzy

  • @tehooper

    engine oil will slowly corrode everything, because its meant for engines, and thus has some cleaning agents in it, mineral oil is great, except for electrolytic capacitors, it seeps into them over a few months and fucks them up too :(

    better to just watercool the thing and do no full submersion, unless you only need it to work for a little while :(

  • Something makes me think that's bacon fat XD

  • You just officaily ruined your HDD! YAY

    You should ONLY use 100% Mineral Oil!

  • that oil is just WAY too thick and filthy ,did you use motor oil or something

  • don't put your Hard Drive in mineral water! IT ruins it! Divvo...

  • never saw black oil befor o.o

  • U are not supposted to do that i am building a oil computer only im using clear mineral oil. but neway while it doesent mess with the workings of it makes the disk spin slower which is not good but u can submerge a ssd but they are expensive.

  • thats what i thought

  • i am planning to dip my old p4 set up in oil the whole thing lmao

  • wat a twat

  • you just ruined your hdd, have fun with your new oily paper weights.

  • No he didn't, oil is safer than air, more chance of an eletrical arc in air, oil is safe.

  • use miniral oil

  • ur a mexican

  • OMG please more slowly ? and btw those who power on the pc without coneccting ide cabble raise your hands.

    brilliant idea to use motor oil Einstein, seems you havent read Carefuly the hd label "do not cover the hole" -_-

    Seems like you knew what you were doing, but didnt knew what was going to happen ?

    Hmmm you should apply oil to your 90.1*C device, i couldnt see wich was but i think its your brain running at 90.1*C

    Good job my man.

  • Looks like motor oil there? With its ton of contaminants. Guess its good for a laugh till the drive suffocates 15 min later..... haha hehe ....OK whatever. Sounds like the PC kept rebooting...maybe cause it couldn't find a WORKING drive!...now thats funny!

  • dude if u look closer he never connected the data cables

  • 90 DEGREES??? What was it?

    27 degrees is a normal temperature, noting special. And 27 is without benchmark. And computer is still loud.

  • kool...but wait wont it ruin it???

  • for most people freaking out, these drives look like they are 10 GB's. I have the same looking drives, so I beet this does help the noise as i hate that humm of older hdds, ,

  • Why?

  • becuse thay can keep cool and thay are quiater

  • you sir are an idiot. those drives do need to breathe, they have as mall air hole in the top of them for that purpose. And why did you use motor oil? lol

    And chances are your drives were making so much noise because they're going bad.

  • agreed why motor oil i never seen that before

  • that makes no sense, hdds are made to run optimally at a certain temperature =/

  • Can your computer, especially the hdds, make that much noise that these measures are necessary. What about the sound from the fans or the mice running on the wire wheel in your head. Turn up the volume, you wasted probably 3 hours doing this when you could have turned a knob or put on headphones.

    Or just deal with the noise, you are using tech that societies before could not possibly fathom existing. The world is accessible to you electronically and you worry about a little noise. Die. Just die.

  • XD, talk about over reacting, drama queen. he is probably doing a RAID 0 and the HDD's get too hot.

  • "maybe he is running raid 0" gimmie a break don't try to stand up for stupidity. read the comments, most people know not to do this kinda thing. If the guy is too stupid to know not to do this he doesn't need to be running raid anything. Doing this for cooling is pointless, they barely fit in the container and there is too little oil.

    maybe it kept them quiet though which is a slightly better reason for trying this. hey why don't you try this with your computer, let us know how it works.

  • raid or not, makes no difference

  • @TheUltimate747

    u mad bro?

  • Busted!!!

  • man If i had hard drive that you dint have to conet to mother bored like those he never conect them to mother bored so how could the bored read them lol fun as hell

  • Man if I had a vocabulary where I didn't have to connect any of my phrases/words to actual grammatical rules i would... Yeah, I'm not really sure how to best your comment.

  • Some might consider this funny... as i'm sure it is intended...

  • If you need silence why not use cotton wool in your ears

  • you sir, have made a BIG mistake.

  • WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?!?!?!??

  • gówno

  • tisk tisk he should have used royal purple! (lol)

  • Ruined HDDs. Bummer.

  • pretty retarded

  • IDE kabel is still disconnected?!?!? WTF

  • could you put hdd in plastic bag with abit of air and seel the off with glue so it water tight

  • just dont try. seriously. dont.

  • That is so incredibly stupid. Cooling a motherboard makes sense as long as there are no fans.

    But this is just stupid, as it's mentioned HDD have vents, oil will get inside it and slow the platter down so much. And I have yet to find a hard drive that actually needs cooling and I have 6 of them on top of each other.

  • I still can hear sound in sync with the HDD LED!!

  • your an idiot.. Hardrives have vent holes. Besides that you have no cooling. Even if this did work the Hdd would just heat the oil up till it got hot. You have to remove the heat.

  • Not if he made a radiator loop in the oil

  • its worse now lol

  • Is the pc still runing today ??

  • Maxtor and Quantum FireBall 2 off the Crappyest hardrives out there. Im glad you didnt put something decent in that Concoction.

  • I was gonna say the same thing...

  • WTF 90,1°C ?!

  • come disse rupert sciamenna.. "ma questo è un coglione!"

  • it looks like motor oil, and it looks like the oil is so thick it cant even enter threw the HDD's vents. the problem is the HDDs need to breath so im guessing they didint last long under oil at all. HDDs even have holes on them and labels that say DO NOT COVER HOLES and thats because when they spin at full speed pressure builds up and has to be released and vice versa when they spin down.

  • I am surprised that the iol doesn't damage the internal parts or click the air apiture.

  • pro equipment

  • dipshit

  • You do know that those hdd's will not be able to spin at full speed because of that oil right?

    And no, hdd's are not air thight.

    I gues is would be fine if you used solid state disks.

  • This guy most be a gear-head as-will....

  • let me see it boot up-make sure its working

  • a real fishhead,

  • ... so far stupid, what about the whole for air access on top of HDD? There will be oil on disk surface ... damn, don't do it, it's really bullshit !!!

  • l'olio motore corrode, se non ci si sta attenti ci si ritrova coi dischi interni cotti dall'olio. Meglio l'olio minerale.

  • is that motor oil? cause that doesnt look like vegetable oil 0.o

  • per fare questo posso utilizzare l'olio extravergine di oliva monini?

  • Si, l'essenziale e` che non counduca

  • you not connect IDE! just power! cheater!

  • Grow a pair!!! and learn to get your hands dirty

  • What a penis!
