old news actually,

i've seen people doing the same thing last year

old already?....maybe i'm outdated

when the oil it's hot enuf, we can fry food inside?

hahha
french fries and eggs =D

I think u have to get the oil very hot...
By that time ur whole pc bye bye liao

o this one... few years back oredi seen it... the idiot next tried with beer the whole pc spoilt...

Come on...its cooking oil,it won't get that hot.

beer

last few yr seen it before...
but this time new design and wit FX-55

old news~!!!
i had to do it.

this one using non-conductive cooking oil...not ordinary cooking oil...but beer is electric conductive right?

This post has been edited by Jusoh: Jan 11 2006, 07:26 PM

beer has water compound in it... that means water+motherboard... u know lar the outcome...

Ordinary cooking oils are conductive?

Cap Buruh Special for PC Cooling! Available at your nearest kedai runcit.

erh is this thing really works? is it really cool down the hardware?

has sumone tried to overclock their CPU feed 2.0V the CPU become damn hot at boil the oil?

then dont have to buy slow coocker already

crap wey. the oil isn't the big deal. But its the sealing of the case. haha

No more UV lor......!!!!

hmm.. nutz. and i thought pelt cooling was extreme.

guess the casing weighs 10x more

What if the thing leak? Oil all over the place

yeah.... i dont dare to try

use cooking oil to cool down? which one absorb heat and release heat faster? water or oil? i guess water ler ...

I guess oil cooking is not conductive electric but is conductive heat......


Hmmm...... like this better call the fire dept. to standby, dunno this experiment by using beer do?? i guess mobo & other device get burn & fire suddenly dunno can explosion or what happen next ......

No nid UV liao mar got glowing effect of cooking oil!

Nice cooling idea,I also try b4 take my graphid card put into the ( PETI SEJUK ) but rosak terus..damn it..

I saw something similar back in 1999/2000. Back then the modder used mineral oil to submerge the mobo/CPU/graphic card, in a tray. This new mod takes it further by having a special case for complete immersion.

Interesting. Makes you wonder when we will see fully liquid-cooled rigs become commonplace. By that I mean complete immersion in liquids.

beer... haha! since beer relieves human body heatiness so he applied it to pc too?

how bout the psu...wouldn't it get short circuit...this is quite amazing

from the page.. the psu is outside the oil

lol.... cooking oil.... wat if the cd-rom in side?? will it stuck... hahaha...
btw... the hardware will not hv any effect ammazing...
got any of this idiot but effective ideal??

water is better conductor but its also electric conductor while oil is not.
dip ur mobo into water with power on! KABOOM! time for a new desktop.

u r right... n oso time 2 buy a new house... if worse oso a Kuan Cai... hahaha

Muahahaha...... PC devices gonna be big explosion some more idiot ppl can do that......

they are not idoits actually, at least they can think of some unusual ways to cool their pc. They should be called innovators perhaps

how bout using semi synthetic engine oil...like those Caltex Delo 400..can or not ...maybe i'll try it sumday when my p4 rig really outdated

Yeah..... that was a stupid idea too...... Muahahaha......

Why don't use engine oil???

dude, although generally we called it as engine oil, but actually it is lubricant, the application of it is to reduce friction between mechanical parts, not heat transfer.

just a reminder if you forgot about this fact: lubricant is a member of petroleum family, flamable, only that the burning point is higher compare to fuel or LPG. now do u still wanna try cooling ur rig with it?

ur statement is not 100% correct leh...
dont forgot our engine is protected by engine oil...
if u said engine oil is flamable, sure the engine will explode if the spark plug keep firing...

has anyone ever tried those radiator coolants?

car mod now = pc mod

but dun u think cooking oil is oso flammable

Hmmm..... I guess maybe big explosion will happen, by using flamable oil some more very sensitive on fire even small spark come out, put that PC devices inside that lubrican...... call up fire dept. to stanby see what happen next?? good luck in yr experiments

Cooking oil flammable?

Really?

Don't think so, coz never seen em in fire...

Anyway, is there anyone here tried this kind of cooling you're pc?

Cooking oil has higher heat capacity than water, thus it needs more heat to increase in temparature, so the temparature won't get to very high with cooking oil

insulation and leakage are the main concern here, anyone of you guys here gonna experiment this?

thought keeping a metal in parafin oil will prevent it from getting [ berkarat ] parafin oil is very inactive also chemical lab use them to keep potasium

that pc wont spoil??

heh, which part is not correct?
im stressing on the application of engine oil. its lubricant, not heat reduce agent, u need radiator or intercooler for heat transfer in engine, not lubricant.

i said engine oil is flamable, with condition of buring point is higher than fuel and engine temp, thats why it wont ignite easily, but it does burn if heat over its burning point is applied. did i make myself clear enuf now?

off topic
FYI, pistons in cylinders come with so call piston rings, thats why lubricant will stay put at the bottom of the engine. it has minimal chance to get intact with upper part of the engine where the spark plugs are (imagine if spark plugs are contaminated with engine oil, how can they produce sparks?). ignition of fuel-o2-mixture must be in closed compartment, orelse the engine will kaput, then totaled.


i nvr said no what?!?! lol

So yamato, why don't u try this method of cooling first leh...

dont want la, im using laptop,
u try la shawty. wahahaa!

Don't want oso...
Already retired in Watercooling leh...

Anything can be used for colin nowadays.....

i wonder if olive oil is use for mobo cooling, many may save money on lampe berger product cos the olive oil will release natural essence which is good for health, i think.

you can even deep fry some french fries while gaming as if the temp is hot enough

now u remind me of the LAN party mobo.
invite lotsa friends over, LAN games + fresh fried fries= 2 birds in 1 stone

what to do when upgrade is needed ? pour all the oils out and change a new one ? eewww....very oily .

i think this is more like an experiment.
in real life no one gonna be the cooking-oil-trick white mice, unless he has too much cash to burn.

Wat's next for coolin ? anyone ?

who knows....

noisy fan cooling > silent water cooling > oily cooking oil cooling > ?????

by combining all above item, i can only conclude dining table will comes next.

reason? here goes:
fan on the ceiling, water & oil (food/drinks related), plus a dining table = my dining room!!!

hahahah owned

talking about fries, i wonder if u all ever seen the website about the guy who fried eggs on his athlon.
for those who havent :
How to fry an egg on an XP

izzit can safe to use or not oh ?
once the oil come out leh ?
so dai lok de woh

i wonder if we force oc a prescott to 5ghz above will it cook an egg

personally, my fren tried replacing water in his water cooled pc with oil with low Viscosity! well it works!! he told me that "ppl out there is using water cooling, and yet they are affraid that oil cooling might leak... think about your water cooling..." if you think twice what my fren said to me, i think it's logical.
the only advice i got from him before he went oversea was, "try to use oil with low Viscosity so that the pump can actually circulate the oil..

its logic as long as water is replaced by any kind of fluid. but i dont think its a great idea, no offence pal.

1. air is lighter than oil
2. cooking oil floats on water

combining both fact (in term of density), we get : air<oil<water
obviously the water is the best thermal conductor since water molecules are closer to each other comparing amoung the 3 substance. so replace water with oil is no-no.

so whats the point of oil cooling as posted by TS?
if u read carefully, its oil submerging method - whole piece of mobo is dumped into the oil.
back to the air<oil<water thingy, normal mobo is air cooled, the best is water cooled, too bad water causes short circuit, so leaving oil as sole replacement. water & oil has pros & cons, depends how we utilise them.

other than that, even less viscous oil is use for closed channel cooling, it will still kill ur pump. flow rate & viscocity are 2 major consideration in selecting the right pump. if a centrifugal or direct displacement pump designed for water application is use for pumping oil or any fluid which is more viscous than water, it will increase the load of the pump's motor thus shorten the life span. so pls tell ur fren to stop using oil.

correct me if im wrong on above statement. cheers

yup. yamato's right. you need special pumps like gear pump or rotary pumps to do the job. normal pump also ultilise the fluid to cool the pump motor

one thing to note as well is the type of oil. the reason they use mineral oils rther than vegetable oils is because veg oils ultimately become rancid after a certain time period, if i'm not mistaken, especially so if the casing is left open.

and also, the selection of the type of oil used is critical as well because if you use an oil that is too reactive to plastics, you'll have a leak on your hands sooner than you think when using a plastic casing.

i've been fooling around with an idea for this for some time, and i'm glad i read the two posts above mine. i'll definitely start researching the type of pump to use when i have some free time (yay for Raya week!)

never considered though that the pump also uses the fluid to cool the motor...i wonder if there are pumps that dont require that much cooling, or if it might be possible to mount a fan to help the pump's cooling.
