Kennymester designed this nice reservoir. It occupies three bays in a PC case and is part of his liquid cooling system

could that be used as an oil cooling system (if it was bigger)?

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

@TagRation nope. Heat still needs to be dissipated somewhere...there has to be a transfer from the liquid to the air...plastic is not a good thermal conductor.

[TagRation]

@CyberDruidtheModGod then how come there are a ton of videos on youtube with computers in fish tanks submerged in oil.

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

@TagRation Why don't you submerge your rig in mineral oil and insert an aquarium temp probe in the oil and get back to me on where that heat goes. When I have questions I generally perform simple tests to find the answers. I don't rely on other people's claims. If you find my answer is inadequate the best answer then would be the one you give your self from doing the experiment. Have you liquid cooled your PC? Why bother putting fans on the radiator if there is no need for heat exchange,,,

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

@CyberDruidtheModGod It's really common sense. The components generate heat. The heat goes into a medium whether air or water or oil. The more medium the more heat soak it can provide, but sooner or later it is heat saturated and you get no more cooling...you reach a point of homeostasis. Beyond this point there will be a heat build up in the medium. This can happen in air too. I have worked in server rooms that are well over 100F from the heat soak. The air must be exchanged or it gets hot.

what does this do btw?

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

@markie758 Cause gamers in your vicinity at a LAN to have an uncontrollable urge to urinate thereby giving you a distinct advantage. Or it's just something fun to look at.
