Was surfin the net and came across this OILCOMPUTER










More pics on the site.But its not in english.I woder if i actually works?

This is what u call oil cooling... It's something like liquid cooling but it uses oil to transfer the heat from the electronics parts. But u can't simply use any type of cooking oil though.. The composition of it must be correct.

tomshardware got video on oil computer..they put 2 bottle of oil and its still working..

it works... haha...

got 1 webby actualling testing overclocking in oil... it use corn cooking oil if not mistaken., superb cooling...

Cooling and cooking LOL just dip a sausage in for few mins HAHA

anyone dare?? hahah if succed please let me know .

oil should be ok, but u need to buy those transformer cooling oil, a bit expensive........

haih..quite empty inside..the should put some fish or turtles to make it more cool..oso some tree thats normally used to decorate aquarium..ONLY if they can live in oil..

after 1 hour or more running inside the oil... try to put an egg in it... mayb it's good in energy preservation... using the heat to fry eggs

come on .. if the oils preserve the heat so well ... it wouldn't being used to cool off a system ...

the idea is to make sure the things are cool and silent ....

this isn't the first one that done .... there were few started last year ...

what an oilly rig..huhu

Try imaging what will happen if the pc got hit by a lightning bet the whole pc or even his house will burn out really fast

erk..wat u mean more fast burnin? izzit coz by the oil u think lidat?they u cooking oil rite..not kerosin dunno yet cooking oil can turn into fire..if can then when cooking cannot use it lor

* lol~.........

1. cooking oil won't burn.
2. cooking oil won't conduct electricity.
3. cooking oil can prevent your rig from being corrode.

so no worries.. just worry about how you're going to clean them..

ops forgot they are using cooking oil i always assume they were using other oil. My bad my bad

@budakdegilz

wtf those guyz are crazy and cool at the some time...i like the way the add some bubbles haha

anyone take a old celeron PC and try lor. =)
erm.. do u think it can be clean? LOL
how u clean? using wat to clean?

2 bottle of oil, imagine need how many day only can fried up the egg. LOL
wait until the egg ok, i think u die due to hungry. LOL

haih..i think it wont cooked at all la..2 bottle of oil is very large amount..btw, anybody intended to try this?

erm... you can't use soap and water. so the only way is to use tissue paper. good luck on trying... perhaps when i have time i would try it using my AMD K6.. lol

good luck in cable management!! hahaha..

Seen this before like last year i think, try youtube to see.

normal air cooled would require cable management to get the best air flow
in oil cooling doesnt required maaa

in oil u need oil management instead.............hehe

i think our cooking oil here cannot lar, mix too much already.........palm oil + some peanut and some others...

cooking oil definately can. those vitamin/nutrients inside our cooking oil are not ions.

but it will promote bacteria growth and rot down your pcb board

er..bacteria wont affect ur mobo i think..only oxidation can cause ur mobo failure due to unable to conduct electricity..and its impossible to happen is such no-oxygen condition like the one in the cooking oil..
juz my 2cents..

omg it is so leet....this wat i call leetskills and madskills....damn i wish someone can try this out

Wow, so damn unique. Hdd, dvd drive and psu can put inside oil too?

No wire management, but space management. Use too many oil and heavy.

Yes, makes your computer too bulky and heavy.

and slimy too...

if u dont need to bright ur rig here n there,itll b no problem..but as for me,i wont do this..sayang woo pc..

exactly...sayang too much to do all this...

did the electronic components corrupts after being flooded inside oil?
i dont think ANYONE would buy any of those 2nd hand product, they r oily!!

but as long u dare enuff.. it should be out radical and powerful conversion..

# calling ianho and bombman to face this challenge.. ada berani ka? just kidding bro =D

This is scary. Once get in, it's forever oily I think

swt........ y dun them change de oil to some high class oil ? which transparent in colour ... y must cooking oil.... yellow look like de aquarium long time no wash de water bcome yellow....
and if they SINK all part into de oil more fun , EG .. HDD and CD rom...

this is... friggin cool


errr... i mean hot

UNBELIEVABLE~ heard about it but never seen it before, now get a chance to see how it works... its awesome...

heat to oil exchanger...well its a engineering term

Lol . if next time wanna sell off the PC , who dare buy ? got oil smell and oily ?

by the way how it be cooled down in oil? processor heatsink and fan is ther? graphic card fan is ther?
how can a fan run under oil?

This post has been edited by squallexexex: Oct 24 2007, 12:32 AM

maybe it just and old pc..so they want to make it extreme mod by faking it..erm..dunno but the fan can run under oil...it will "tsunami" the aquarium if do that///

They were using mineral oil, very effective, and they did try it with an older version of pc before they use the mid setting pc.
there's an experiment where their using ocean salt water, with turns out badly

1st time .. seen such methodology use in cooling a computer ..
If its not normal cooking oil ? what oil can be used ? ... Olive oil .. or lubricants ?

no prob by using Lub oil, but it wont be pretty
Im gonna try this mod one day, cuz the only thing to watch out is the HDD
never put your Hdd in the oil tank.

so which cooling is better? Oil or water?

maybe half the performance of water cooling

by reading, it shows thats its hotter


Dood! Put fishez in ur tank!!!1

Answer: No.

gilo . .
nice,try with minyak cap buroh one .

if i'm not mistaken, koolance already demonstrated this method few years ago..

Hmmm i heard that it is possible to put the hdd in the tank but not the dvd though. But I wouldnt try that either . Definitely will try this during holidays with some comp junk :D:D

Hmm........had a sudden idea. Why not cover the entire mobo n gfx card etc with some kinda protective resin stuff that they use for dry ice cooling(saw that somewhere if im not mistaken). Then if its water-proof i suppose u could use water as well right? Wanna oc?? Just drop some icecubes in and youre good to go

This post has been edited by joe_star: Nov 4 2007, 09:01 AM

hdd should b ok to put in rite? since its airtight inside.

btw, izit better cooling? or worse?

cleaning, clean it with those detergent use for dishes then dry them properly under the sun or let it dry really properly and fast.

i wash my tnt2 few months after i bought it new at rm600 (yea it was the 1st 32mb graphic card...hahahah)...hahaha, it was still working then for few years till i change pc! duno abt now, i sitll wrap it nice nice

if not mistaken, use olive oil for oil cooling, cuz its the best and expensive oil.

heh. any part breakdown that time you wanna do trouble-shooting, then the oil-tank PC would be a nightmare.

oh. and try carrying it too.

Very nice concept... try put some fake fish in... hahah

erm....cooking oil cant conduct heat...instead it actually traps heaet.....oil is a covalent compound....its a bad heat conductor....wouldnt it actually heat the processor?....

yiew... yucky.. and smellly.. how was the cooling effect? 20C++ ? or lower?

Holy **** this is madness, this is spartannnn

How are they going to clean it up.

And also, who got a 486 systems, you can try this out at home. Parental Advisory needed lol

wehhh..is it working?ish ish

tomshardware did that many many many moons ago
they even tried to use pure distilled water, but unfortunately the distilled water doesn't work well for long, as the distilled water they use still contain some ions and impurities that conducted electricity.

Theoretically 100% pure distilled water should work, as 100% distilled water shouldn't contain any ions to conduct electricity.

lol.. put bubbles somemore
amazing work

ya it works since oil didnt conduct electricity
it physics dude
i saw it long time a go
from tom's hardware i think

Any forumers dare try it? lolz ..

dont think putting your HDD in any liquid would be a good move, you can see from the vid's i posted there were no Hdd or Dvd-Rom inside the tank
the items maybe located on top of the tank, hidden inside the black cover

damn nice. add some light would be great

Impressive experiment. Imagine if it turns into boiling oil lol

saw a web site, a guy used baby oil to soak the whole PSU unit, included the cooling fan

its my 1st time see those kind of PC,
wonder if is works..

hmm i have some oooollllldddd parts...anyone can sponsor mobo n psu? then we can try try do experiment

very old story

yes saw b4 at youtube.com. damn nice. but ur mobo don have 2nd hand value liao

it is good to "sustain heat" not to really cool it , lol
after a long hour it will continue to store heat only ...

u will still need thing like water cooling radiator / pump to really cool it efficiently , lol

they say cooking oil will build up something after a long time too @@

Salt water is electrically conductive, not to mention extremely corrosive on sensitive computer parts - I don't even know why anyone would try that.

But mineral oil is not electrically conductive, non-corrosive, and pretty much inert stuff. As far as physical properties - high specific heat, like water or glycol based coolants, so as long as you have a good radiator, I guess it should work.

Of course, you can submerge anytihng with non-moving parts and it should work, the viscosity isn't going to help with anything moving faster than 1RPM =)

It would be a major PITA to change parts though with all that oil. Not really practical IMO.

Imagine trying to sell a graphic card covered in oil - no way to really clean it, since solvents that can remove the oil would mess up the card too.

LOL... put oil still can work?
no harm to hardware?
can put some fries too... hehe

this is old story ma...
i saw this on THG website loooooong time ago..
they only used cooking oil je..
lg murah...

if put on da oil,how psu fan & other fans rotate?

nope.
eg the hsf.u need to make sure it is above the oil level. u dont submerge all the components into the oil.
and also,the psu and all the drives is outside,not submerged it also.build them on separate area.

yup...thanks for answering on my behalf..

plus, the hsf doesn't have fan..only the cooling fin

Best cooling method....but bad looking

FAIL.
