This is the first segment of our quest for extreme PC cooling using oil. We originaly did this for a chemistry project, but we are in the process of building a monster rig to break some records!!!

Just for the record: Thet's see a Mac do this!!!!

  • @2lazy2troll1 both statements are false. puget has an oil cooled system running for over 3 years, usually reaching 80 degrees (no active cooling) and it works perfectly fine. it also does not dissolve anything except maybe the stickers, which is no problem because the stickers don't do anything and your warrenty is void anyway as soon as you submerge your system in oil. so the only problem with oil-cooling is that you'll void your warranty. which is no problem on old systems.

  • Thumbs up If u muted it the second it started.

  • Liquid Nitrogen? You sure that won't freeze the computer solid??

  • why are people thinking that it was water? clearly said mineral oil...thats why it wont short or explode cuz mineral oil is non conductive and non reactive...n00bs

  • siphoning the oil into a bucket = a lot less mess.

  • so i put my computer in water.....didnt go the way i thought :C

  • @randrewm97 Fanboy? lol no i resent PC the only thing i use windows for is Games. Other than that i use my hackintosh for video editing music ect, Linux for general use. And i have a server running off of UNIX so im far from a fanboy of any flavor being Linux, Apple, Or MS

  • I wonder if we took pure distilled water and did the same thing would it work as it would not short?

  • You aren't supposed to have the fans running inside when mineral water in in there
