The only thing fit to be oil cooled is the motherboard and CPU.Why would you put a fan under oil when a pump is what you should use?A hard drive in oil is just a no.The power supply in the same tank only increases the temperature of the critical components.This is not well thought out and not a new idea and not a good idea.
While this looks cool and all, my concern is that if you're running a computer for several hours, the heat from the various components might start to overheat the mineral oil. While I'm not concerned about the oil catching fire, I am concerned with the oil becoming so hot that it no longer succeeds in it's job as a coolant.
@MsHamzadj Mineral oil is non-conductive, therefore it cannot short out electrical circuits. It is also used for cooling in high voltage transformators. Also, the fans can run fine as long as they are brushless fans as they won't overheat the coils. I see no reason to believe that this video is fake since thousands of people use this system for gaming stations, it is not a new idea.
@MsHamzadj while i don't find this particular technique useful, i must correct you, this isn't water, it is mineral oil. mineral oil is not conductive, so you can submerge your computer or any other electrical device in it and not short it out. in other words, this isn't even slightly fake.
@benjaminzer you dont realy need a cpu fan in the mineral oil. firstly it cant move much because the mineral oil is dense and secondly if you have bubbles the mineral oil moves around so you dont need the fan to make the oil flow :P
its not a lie rangerparus. its real.... it would be cool if u could put connections on the side of the tank for a radiator and pump to move and cool the fluid
The only problems I can see with this (which I found to be very cool indeed) is that you need a way to cool the oil in case the temperature rises too much and also that oil can seep into some components like capacitors making them fail after time.
It really is very attractive, but what Khaleel420 said about the difficulty of removing and installing parts could be a problem. They will be very oily and messy and you will have to store them all oily and slimy in a container. I am also worried about oil getting into the slots and affecting electrical conductivity when you are installing new parts.
@KompulsaOfficial mineral oil is non conductive. so your safe. thats why you are able to do this. if it was conductive the system would fail amost imidiatly
@SeanofZeus Because the mineral oil cannot conduct any electricity, when it gets between the gold contacts on the memory for example, electricity cannot pass over the mineral oil. Basically when something conducts it either has free de-localized electrons in the case of metals, or ions dissolved in it in the case of water (many ionic substance can also conduct if molten), and the electrons travel which conducts the electricity.
@SeanofZeus So when the contact tries to pass the current across to the memory through the contacts, the mineral oil cannot transmit the electrical current as there are no electrons/ ions free to move in it.
It is interesting, but the fan might overheat because it is overloaded by the viscosity of the oil, which is why the fan is turning so slowly. This means that the fan will draw more current than it should, which is what causes the overheating. Maybe you should try turning off the fan, and you need to monitor the temperature of the parts, and you will definitely have to circulate the oil through a radiator because heat will accumulate in it.
This will look like a noob question so I'm expecting to get raped by everyone on this one, but don't the fans of all the components wear out a lot faster when they're fighting the extra resistance of the oil? And when they do pack up, presumably the component heats up fairly quickly, and getting them out of that -very pretty- oil vat will cause very messy problems right?
offcourse it is not going to overheat. Did you see how many gallons he put in the aqaurium? Are you really thinking that 1 cpu can produce so much heat to cook all of that oil? Impossible, the oil is being cooled by the surrounding air.
And someone said the fins would die off because of the heavy load it has to pull or push. I still havent seen a fin dying because of it. So prove you are right
This is a cool experiment, but some basic things are missing like... a Thermometer! like that it doesn't prove anything, just that it keeps working...
also i can tell there are going to be some problems with the fans as they are being forced to work harder... more resistance, and the heat isn't going anywhere unless you throw some eggs and bacon in there... it's a big NO NO!
@ODOSS He was not holding a 6 gallon container of oil. Have you never seen what a gallon of anything looks like? Six gallons times five bottles would also make thirty gallons. There's no way you could EVER fit 30 gallons of anything in that computer case. Finally, six one gallon containers would make it sixty dollars, not three-hundred dollars. Fail math is fail, please turn off your computer and go to bed.
frankly i neer knew it was good for anything computer components to be in direct contact with any liquid before.. im surprised that it wouldnt short anything out, especially the psu, but if it doesnt conduct any electricity then it sounds liek it would work, is this how water cooling works? because i didnt think it was...
mineral oil has a very high thermal resistance, not ideal for any sort of cooling. if you just water cooled, it would have been much more affective, but not as cool lol
I work with that stuff at my work, if it gets on anything, it is such a PITA to fully get rid of. It makes anything it touches slick and a soap/water mixture wont get it up, just smear it. I hate working with it.
o_O so the motherboard is inside the mineral oil? I thought if you get stuff like that wet it stops working. Can anyone tell me why it's still working? I'm new to this stuff and would like to know more.
@Angerin757 It works because the Mineral oil is not conductive, its the impurities that eventually get into the oil / water that will fry your computer. Water / oil will not allow electicity to pass through it, its the rubbish inside it that will.
Eventually over time that computer will fry as Dirt / Iron/ Electrons and everything else gets inside and it builds up enough of these.
@Cam5X5 no but you should not submerge a normal hard drive there are other things you should not submerge fans cd/dvd roms. And as for cooling a convection current would form in the oil and it would keep the temps stable for a long time before the oil would reach a temperature that would kill the cpu... a circulating pump into a metal reservoir with heat sinks on it should be enough to keep the oil temps down...
@tvaughanx The whole point of fans is to move cool air over the components to cool it down because air is bad at absorbing heat. Moving fans in an oil-submerged computer is irrelevant.
@DoubleX31 ok so stagnant water cools better than moving water ur so smart that makes so much sense the fans wouldn't move the oil at all an everyone knows that when you use liquid to cool something u never want it to circulate
dude ur an idiot the fans will move the oil thus spreading heat its not ideal the fans will go bad but move oil spread heat they will do a pump would be better
@tvaughanx No, dumbass. Why the hell would you need to "spread the heat" in oil with a fan when it's just going to circulate within the same area? The heat would spread throughout the oil since it's better at conducting heat. The only time it would make sense to circulate the liquid would be to remove the warm liquid inside the tank and put it through a radiator to cool it down. Have you tried boiling a pot of water? Is the surface cold unless you stir the water? No? Dumbass.
@JackTheRyder ur so stupid u wanna test it get a bowling pot of water and stir it it will quit boiling dip shit that is because it is cooler from circulation u must be american only Americans are this stupid
@tvaughanx You're an idiot. The only reason stirring a pot would make it any cooler would be because the heat is escaping through the air. It's a fucking open pot. Why don't you put a lid on the pot and stick your hand in after it boils and tell me if the surface of the water is cold. This enclosure is the same thing. Where the fuck is the heat going to go to? It's just going to keep circulating inside the tank and warm up the rest of the liquid. Go back to school and learn to spell, dumbass.
@JackTheRyder So why does the water boil when still with the lid off the pot? Moving are is better than no moving air same thing with a liquid moving liquid will help circulate an regulate a average temp as where stagnant water would have hot spots. Why are you arguing with me i am clearly right.
@JackTheRyder rly though, ur fucking stupid i mean rly this is a principle of thermo-dynamics u fucking retard pick up a book an learn something dip-shit
@AlexFolland Correct. Using mineral oil is more OK than water. However I do suggest trying others, e.g. dry ice and nitogren, to allow more extreme cooling.
Now all you need is some sort of way to cool the oil (think of a large utility company transformer), such as cooling fins external the tank. The other posts are correct, as the processor and power supply heat the oil, there is no way to disapate that heat load. So the temp will continue to increase, until such time the oil becomes the same temp as the processor, then bang the processor dies. BTW, the fan motors will also overheat and fail with the added load of moving the heavy oil.
First of all you spelled separate wrong, muppet. Next, how is it creating a small pocket of oil separate from the rest of the tank., do you not see the PSU in the same tank which has a rotating fan that instead of moving air is now moving oil. As a guy in a shop once said to me about 3 seconds before I pulled him out over the counter, "there is no point in being stupid unless you show it" and you show it. Har har har
@pathman2 Ask yourself this "what purpose does the fan have in the "power supply unit"(i don't try to impress people with idiotic acronyms) Figure out this one "YASS" if you can't, it stands for "you're a stupid shit." I once read a youtube comment that said "there is no point in being stupid unless you show it" and you're showing it here.
@asmcriminaL The original purpose of the fan is to circulate air through the PSU, but now as it is immersed in oil it will circulate oil, which was the point of my comment to "Fortune2point1" if you want to read his comment. And as a matter of fact you IDIOTIC MUPPET you don't have to have any fans in the tank as the oil is totally is covering all the components that need to be cooled, and the oil will move around the tank as it is heated and cooled due to dissipating the heat. MUPPET
@asmcriminaL Can you still get 400W PSU's? They have such low max output, I have an 850W passively cooled PSU to run my AMD X4 965 powered gaming PC. Also change your name to ASS CRIMINAL. So, over and out. MUPPET.
@pathman2 Good way to dodge a question I give you props. Still waiting for your home built power supply, you know the one "WITH OUT THE FAN." I really don't play games, just code them.
Not just the central processing unit, the entire computer is kept cool. LOL! I really want to do this, but I would make fans with special motors. I don't think these fans will last very long, due to excessive strain on them.
@facebag666 i was telling him the motherboard is surrounded by oil not water so it dosent rust and the oil dosent conduct electricity so it dosent short out
@Dogsofwar909 Because the mineral oil surrounds the components and isn't in tubes, the heat just transfers away from everything, thats why you don't need a cycle.
Without a radiator and loop, wouldn't the mineral oil just heat up after a couple hours of gaming and then end up heating the whole PC? You'd want something to keep the oil cool and moving around.
@Fortune2point0 Soon as i can find again there is a vid where a guy built fish tank out aluminium with air fins all over the outsides of the tank. He also had 3/4" tygon running all around the inside of the tank. Then there was a pump and radiator system out side the tank, that pumped a steady amount of cool water solution thru all of the oil in the tank. It seem to have kept the oil cool too not to have any gpu or cpu coolers on at all. Im not sure about the component temps, but oil stayed 65 c
@Fortune2point0 yes and no. Liquids can dissipate quite a bit of heat before heating up itself. For instance water can draw heat away 26 times as well as air. I am not sure of the efficiency of oil, although it is less than water, but still much better than air. Puget systems newer oil cooled PCs all have radiators, although this first design has been run for 12 hours before, and occasionally overnight by accident without issues of heat becoming a problem.
@Fortune2point0 Just Add A Couple Small House Fans At The Bottom Its Just A Suggestion I Don't Know If That Would Work I'm Not Buying A Computer To Dump It In Oil.
@Fortune2point0 someone should run the math and calculate the specific heat capacity etc. of that volume of mineral oil and graph the temperature of the mineral oil vs. time given an assumed full load power dissipation of 350 or so watts between an overclocked CPU, radeon 6970/gtx580, RAM, etc. Then we would know if you can game for 30 minutes, or 2 hours, or maybe 5 before it's a problem
@jamestheme123 Fans use like 2-3 watts. A modern gaming video card takes up like 200-300 watts (under load of course), and a processor is around 90-150 watts.

Now all you need is some sort of way to cool the oil (think of a large utility company transformer), such as cooling fins external the tank. The other posts are correct, as the processor and power supply heat the oil, there is no way to disapate that heat load. So the temp will continue to increase, until such time the oil becomes the same temp as the processor, then bang the processor dies. BTW, the fan motors will also overheat and fail with the added load of moving the heavy oil.

First of all you spelled separate wrong, muppet. Next, how is it creating a small pocket of oil separate from the rest of the tank., do you not see the PSU in the same tank which has a rotating fan that instead of moving air is now moving oil. As a guy in a shop once said to me about 3 seconds before I pulled him out over the counter, "there is no point in being stupid unless you show it" and you show it. Har har har

@pathman2 Ask yourself this "what purpose does the fan have in the "power supply unit"(i don't try to impress people with idiotic acronyms) Figure out this one "YASS" if you can't, it stands for "you're a stupid shit." I once read a youtube comment that said "there is no point in being stupid unless you show it" and you're showing it here.

@asmcriminaL The original purpose of the fan is to circulate air through the PSU, but now as it is immersed in oil it will circulate oil, which was the point of my comment to "Fortune2point1" if you want to read his comment. And as a matter of fact you IDIOTIC MUPPET you don't have to have any fans in the tank as the oil is totally is covering all the components that need to be cooled, and the oil will move around the tank as it is heated and cooled due to dissipating the heat. MUPPET

@pathman2 Okay show us your diagram for a 400w Power supply...I am interested in it.
asmcriminaL 1 year ago
@asmcriminaL Can you still get 400W PSU's? They have such low max output, I have an 850W passively cooled PSU to run my AMD X4 965 powered gaming PC. Also change your name to ASS CRIMINAL. So, over and out. MUPPET.

@pathman2 Good way to dodge a question I give you props. Still waiting for your home built power supply, you know the one "WITH OUT THE FAN." I really don't play games, just code them.

Not just the central processing unit, the entire computer is kept cool. LOL! I really want to do this, but I would make fans with special motors. I don't think these fans will last very long, due to excessive strain on them.

@PokePackOpener14
If you use this method, you are actually supposed to take all of the fans out of the PC. Even the power supply fan.

@scooobys2 or short out because water is conductive the oil has nothing to do with rust

@facebag666 i was telling him the motherboard is surrounded by oil not water so it dosent rust and the oil dosent conduct electricity so it dosent short out

you should have....made a cycle, because that water will get hot eventually..
Dogsofwar909 1 year ago
@Dogsofwar909 Because the mineral oil surrounds the components and isn't in tubes, the heat just transfers away from everything, thats why you don't need a cycle.

YTavish141 1 year ago
Without a radiator and loop, wouldn't the mineral oil just heat up after a couple hours of gaming and then end up heating the whole PC? You'd want something to keep the oil cool and moving around.
Fortune2point0 1 year ago 25
@Fortune2point0 Soon as i can find again there is a vid where a guy built fish tank out aluminium with air fins all over the outsides of the tank. He also had 3/4" tygon running all around the inside of the tank. Then there was a pump and radiator system out side the tank, that pumped a steady amount of cool water solution thru all of the oil in the tank. It seem to have kept the oil cool too not to have any gpu or cpu coolers on at all. Im not sure about the component temps, but oil stayed 65 c

@Fortune2point0 Did you not see the PSU which has a fan to move the oil around.
pathman2 1 year ago
@pathman2 That isn't moving the oil around nor is it keeping it cool. It's creating a small pocket of oil seperate from the rest of the tank
Fortune2point0 1 year ago
@Fortune2point0 yes and no. Liquids can dissipate quite a bit of heat before heating up itself. For instance water can draw heat away 26 times as well as air. I am not sure of the efficiency of oil, although it is less than water, but still much better than air. Puget systems newer oil cooled PCs all have radiators, although this first design has been run for 12 hours before, and occasionally overnight by accident without issues of heat becoming a problem.

@Fortune2point0 Just Add A Couple Small House Fans At The Bottom Its Just A Suggestion I Don't Know If That Would Work I'm Not Buying A Computer To Dump It In Oil.

Fortune2point0 5 months ago
@Fortune2point0 someone should run the math and calculate the specific heat capacity etc. of that volume of mineral oil and graph the temperature of the mineral oil vs. time given an assumed full load power dissipation of 350 or so watts between an overclocked CPU, radeon 6970/gtx580, RAM, etc. Then we would know if you can game for 30 minutes, or 2 hours, or maybe 5 before it's a problem

does the ol not put a tremendous strain on the fan? and would therefore use up alot more power?
jamestheme123 1 year ago
@jamestheme123 Fans use like 2-3 watts. A modern gaming video card takes up like 200-300 watts (under load of course), and a processor is around 90-150 watts.
The extra strain on the fans is next to nothing.
