We cool a computer by submerging it in mineral oil. In an aquarium, it looks great!

//////Can someone plzzzzz tell me if you need to waterproof the parts 1st?\\\\\\
-
@allooo no because its not water... its mineral oil
-
i have an ATI 6850 GPU card that blows air out the back from the fan, i think if i ever do this i should take the fan in the back off in order to disable it or something.
-
im gonna do this but pass on the diy kit they sell though its nice 595.99 is alot just for cooling
-
@p3rs0n42 i think you can, but manufacturers dont program that comand because they least expect an oil dunk pc.
My PC, the fan turns off when i disconnect it from the power from the motherboard , and i screw it off.

@p3rs0n42 Read the actual articles, the fans have been spinning fine for years.

@allooo I don't think your fish could survive in oil... but even if it would.. I think you could get a nice deep-fried goldfish..
-
@spektrum1983 Due to the decreased rotation speed, the power draw is the same. The energy required to rotate more viscous fluid is balanced by the lower speed at which the fan spins. I'd expect the fans to last at least as long in mineral oil as in air. As for the stickers on the fans... another story, entirely.

@allooo Not unless you want to deep fat fry it. Its mineral oil meaning that you'll have nice crispy fish.

Serious question... obviously submerging parts makes life harder for the fans to spin (I'm not stupid, I know they don't need to!!) but would that not possibly run the risk of taking out the fan's motor and some other parts of the component with it? or is there a simple way to disable the fan?
