Elo, since i posted the previus topic somewhere else...i decided to edit this one to save space...

Ok, ive been watching Mythbusters and ive seen them using Vodca+Water for ice packs... and they said that vodca will be easily cooled more then water... so i was wondering if it could be replaced by water in the WC system...or maybe put abt 60% water and 40% vodca into the liquid cooling systems...?

what vodka flavor would u like to hav in ur WC system...grape, mandarin or the white 1 but surely cost a lot

p/s: i love absolute vodka

lolz...im only 15...but ive tried a sip of grape...i think...or was that wine..anyway...do u fill cooling after drinking chilled Vodca?? maybe some1 could experiment on vodca cooling..lolz

some might say it feels chilling but for me it is certainly hot when it enters the mouth...maybe u might wanna search google for cooling with alcohol...but i think if ur WC leak then certainly ur PC will burst into flames

yeah...but i dun think alcohol is corrosive towards plastic or metal... and if WC leaks even if without Vodca...still will go bye bye...lolz...i wonder if the CPU gets drunk..

That's a lot of Stolichnaya's that you gotta buy. But seriously....I don't want my PC to smell like a Saturday night lor.

Double posted snipe? Anyway, it works on principles that alcohol evaporates easier compared to nwater and in the process dissipates the heat absorb in the thermal transfer rather quicker compared to water. Same thing would occur if you mixed water with ester or rubbing alcohol

So, does this means that using alcholic water will gain more cooling in watercooling?

Interesting...

hehe sat night smells puke + sweat + 2nd hand smoke...not much of alcohol liao

offtopic: how is the ultra 120 perform...i find my scythe mine dam suck la....scythe mine + fm121 fan.... the temp still dam high....about 58 load ...

if you're prepared to face with alcohol's eroding abillity on tubes then go ahead

OTT: DAMN U PRONNNNN!!!! Fixed

OTT: That's Sunday morning

Slightly OT: 58C still not happy? Apa lagi lu mau? Unless wanna follow itu sarjan punya advice kasi lap IHS.

urm.. alcohol is not friendly on the tubings eh. Maybe we can use something less sensitive towards alcohol's erosion? Any idea? Might come in handy for my end-of-the-year mod.. Hurm..

lol...yeah sunday morning hhahaha
its hotter than my opty 146 man...kinda dissapointed with the temp of conroe....but i see gengstapo having 65+ degree orthos still goin on so i suppose it can take more heat than opty... my opty pass 60 degree bye bye prime fail

I think Tygon made some tubings specially for Alkali and acidic liquids.

Alcohol does not have alkali or acidic properties. I think alcohol makes rubber like substance hard and brittle. If someone has some Absolut or any other vodka, please cut a piece of tygon and immerse it. See what happens after a day or two.....small experiment with pics will do nicely.

But it isn't practical also. Yes it evaporates easier and therefore might cool better by a little. But if that happens, you will be pouring vodka in your reservoir every week! lol And moreover, there are some rubber parts in the pump, and I hate to tell you I really cannot imagine what alcohol can do to your pump.

Someone please try and see......ehehhehehe Coz I am also quite curious.

Damn jooo mythbusters!!!!

1 small pieces of R3603 Tygon

1 bottle of famous brand swedish vodka.

Black marking on the tygon as control, which will not be emersed in vodka

Question: Mau rendam how long?

Note: Someone please remind me to check on this later

Good going dude, now we know for sure whether the tubes are affected. Well soak it for a few days...........so that you know what it does in the long term. lol

walao
i want to add cola and drink it man......

how's using low boiling temperature fluid ?
maybe can get something like heatpipe theory working for watercooling setup

I can see one problem with low boiling temp fluid - evaporation. Evaporate so fast, then oyu everyday also busy filling water man. lol

yep.......i've seen this patented heatpipe technology which can handle a few hundred watts and it's not in the conventional heatpipe shape (it's like a box shape and multiple chambers inside)......i'm just thinking when i'll be able to see the real products for PCs.....
