  • Frenchfries .. anyone?

  • if this falls down on the floor u can fuck it

  • Comment removed

  • Wouldn't your fans overwork it self due to added drag? what are your fans RPM's and voltages on this?

    Just asking cause this is interesting.

  • 17 people tried this with normal water and electrocuted them selves

  • 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.

  • first of all man power supply fan can"t run in water because water force it and it is fake videos try to avoid these fake videos.thank you.

  • @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.

  • All you need is a fish.

  • Omfg try putting a fish inside:-/

  • Man, what a great idea, and makes for the slickest (no pun) case ever.

  • DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU DON'T WANT TO UPGRADE YOU PC FOREVER.

  • i think ill try this with one of my shit pcs

  • I could not tell . Did you have a cooler or heatsink on the CPU ?

  • so can we put the fish in XD

  • @dediLani yea. but what happens if that fish shite on the cpu fan?

  • @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

  • @dediLani ah interesting......thx. im enlightened......

  • 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

  • Put in a bubbler!!!

  • wow...

  • fantastic!!

  • Mind... Blown...

  • wtf... you submirgde you stuff and it doesnt... say boom?

  • @DrOrtmeyer it's mineral oil. mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity.

    you can do the same if you submerge it in de-ionized water, but that does become conductive after a while

  • my ears is bleading cus i had to stab them

  • 2 gb of ram is the good stuff???

  • ok so whats keeping the oil cool????

  • now how abt leaving some fishes in that

  • i tried and scrued my core i7

  • @annnnnnnnnnnnas

    That'll be a lie.

  • 240p we meet agen

  • 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.

  • Thats pretty damn cool im not gonna lie......... Nice work man lookin good!

  • how much did it score with 3dmark 06?

  • did he put the heat sink? or does it not make a difference.

  • add some fish in it and ill vote 5 star LOL

  • 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 Exactly, it can break contacts because its non conductive.

  • @MrAMColes explain please? breaking contacts because of non-conductivity? im not a science wiz so this might need to be explained. thanks

  • @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?

  • Just hope nobody kicks the case by accident.

  • and ppl though i was crazy when i told them i've been thinking about doing the same thing, ha now i know it works!

  • 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!

  • how about you make it so the oil is being circulated through a pump in which is being cooled???

  • Isn't a great idea... eventually that water or what ever it is will get warm and where will the heat go.

  • have you seen the cooling system in a substation??

    try that and i'll send you to mental hospital

  • wait what?

  • It ain't an aquarium if ain't got no fish!

  • isnt oil conductive?

  • dear santa

  • Not unbelieve able nore is it anything new. Submersion cooling on computers has been used for 30+ year's.

  • Omg, i gotta try this!!

    Can we use cooking Oil?

  • that looks...dangerous...

  • What did you film this with a fucking potato?

  • @rockyeuenguino loooooool potato

  • @rockyeuenguino In 2008, Youtube only allowed 240p resolution.

  • Bring that to a LAN party. Like a bose!

  • @jope12 HA LEGIT!!

  • lol i want that for a pc :D i wonder if i can get robotic fishies too

  • Fans still running. Fuck Yeah.

  • sorry (stupid question) but the hole pc is water proof??

  • @xX2SKATERDUDE1Xx it's oil not water.

  • @C4ptKrunch aahh ok thanks for the info xD

  • @xX2SKATERDUDE1Xx anytime ;D

  • @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...

  • @MildGamer001 no, google water cooling you'll see it's different

  • does liquid helium conduct electricity? (at least these voltages)

  • 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

  • @epikrato that's a great idea I'm going to try this fish tank business with water I'll start with pitcher of it and pour it over my co

  • 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.

  • Is it just me or does Newegg not carry any motherboard trays that aren't attached to a case?

  • don't tell me this actually works? you're covering electric with water??

  • @CrimsonDivine Mineral oil--it's nonconductive.

  • @harlequin115 Ohh he's using mineral oil, interesting. Kinda tempted to try myself, heh

  • 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.

  • @DanielMosey In that case, clean it regularly.

  • @DanielMosey

    Thanks for telling me this, I always say people learn new things everyday :)

  • @Angerin757 No Problem :)

  • Try using dry ice next time and maybe Liquid Nitogren to make it more UNBELIEVEABLE. :P

  • WWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFFFF­F

  • This is really amazing. Is there some kind of trick photography?

    What kind of temps do you get on the processor? Every thing is in Mineral Oit?

  • I have a question..

    Don't you need a solid state drive for this to work?

    I mean if you used the HDD the water would get into the part where nothing is supposed to be in (not even dust)

    What else should be kept out of the water?

    I want to try this with my old computer.

  • @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...

  • I just would never feel safe putting electrics near liquids. Let alone submerging them in it.

    Plus you could see that the performance of the equipment when the oil submerged the fan it slowed down considerably

  • @SMA6T hey super genius, if its submerged in the oil... the fan become irrelevant. try thinking before you type.

  • @ThirdRomeAquilo i think he meant moving liquid is colder than not moving witch is true super-duper genius

  • @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

    Its obvious they will help but u rly need pump

  • @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

  • Can someone please explain how his computer did not short out and/or explode when he put LIQUIDS where ELECTRONICS go? Thanks!

  • @RedrumEnasni Mineral oil is not conductive.

  • @AlexFolland

    So if I buy a water cooler for my processor, and get one of those cases I could just put mineral oil in it?!

  • @RedrumEnasni water cooling is liquids in insulated pipes which flows and cools down the cpu.

  • @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.

  • exuse my stupidity, but let me get this straight, ram and motherboards and cpus and power supplies and such only short circuit in water? not oil?

  • I lulzed at teh part when he poured teh oilz...

  • At 1:10 you shoulda poured direct into fan

    why?

    FOR TE LULZ

  • rofl mineral oilzzz

  • put some artificial aquarium plants, couple of battery operated angel fishes , I got the joy joy joy, down in my psu (where?)

  • 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.

  • But, when my cat jumps on the top...

  • 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 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.

  • lol the song is the most funniest song i ever heard XD!

  • Puget computers are EXTREMELY overpriced.

  • the fans keep the oil moving preventing it from staying static and heating up

    keep the fans in there

  • dude putting liquid on a power supply unit ?????

  • @deadlyhydra common misconception that all liquids conduct and will short

    he used oil which does not conduct

  • i hope idiots dont do this with water

  • You supost to remove all the fans

  • Not only your CPU, but also the video card, ram, motherboard... etc.

  • you only need fwe more fishes ! :D:D:D

  • This is possible? D:

  • you should add some kind of a cooling unit to cool the oil to get even better cooling =)

  • @h1wayman I see you don't see the date of the video

  • stupid question, but is there a current running through the oil at all?

  • @Moggets oil dosent conduct electricity so no :P

  • @scooobys2 I feel somewhat stupid now but thanks :D

  • FUCK WATER COOLING :D

  • 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.

  • how long did the machine last?

  • put it in Refrigerator bitch!!!

  • wow underwater.!!!

    the motherboar and other parts will not be broken because u use mineral oil/..

    how about does it have rust..??

  • @omarbon23 its not water surrounding the motherboard its oil so it dosent rust

  • @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 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.

  • still lacks some fishes/ ^^

  • how about putting some fishes over there.. you dumb ass

  • @h1wayman this vid was made like 2-3 years ago lol

  • WTF Noway.

  • Should have showed Temps.

  • Theres no way in fucking hell I am trying that. I will stick to (having a fan blow air on my laptop)

  • sick!!!!!

  • at the end you can always make some french fries in that oil

  • Wouldn't the fans face resistance from the oil and then eventually fail?

  • @Chrisxantixemox It's not like the fans are cooling anything so it doesn't matter

  • lol just throw it

    on pluto:)

    didnt think about that didya!

  • wait the psu actually works FTW??????

  • lawl so random.. Nelson Mandela

  • if you like fishes just use demineralized water that's dielectric

  • @proximu

    Not completely, and certainly IF it was, it wouldn't stay that way...

  • where do u guys bring those type of fans ?

  • 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 Did you not see the PSU which has a fan to move the oil around.

  • @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 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 It's just a basic example, you could probably add that type of system yourself.

  • @Fortune2point0 The air bubbles carry away the heat pretty well for most setups

  • @Plexico41522 Air is a terrible heat conductor compared to liquid.

  • @Fortune2point0 that's not true, its dependent on the marital.

  • @epikrato Compared to most liquids*

  • @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 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.
