Submerged mineral oil PC - but EE what would say on it? Finally...

<< < (5/16) > >>

Bud:
I have a PC with a CPU liquid cooler , i can say it works great, very quiet and efficient, the CPU never gets over 50C. I've been having it since 2012, for 5 years or something, no signs of leaks and the tubes remain nice and soft.

Zucca:
Thanks for all the Infos... I probably go for water cooling solution then,

I have a ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, and I will buy replace the stock heat sinks with those:

Feel free to tell me I'm crazy...  ;D

Berni:
By the time you put everything together it still won't be cheap but it should have amazing cooling performance if done right.

Oh and if you go this far the graphics card should really be watercooled too. The GPU burns significantly more power than the CPU when working hard (Unless you are overclocking your CPU to hell and back or running one of those ridiculously hungry AMDs).

Records, mostly. You can overclock on water cooling, but that only does spot cooling on your processor and GPU. As you push the hardware harder in your quest for the ultimate in performance you start to see overheating of the buck converters, memory, then all sorts of glue chips you never thought about before. If you are into extreme overclocking as a hobby and want the bragging rights that come with an eight-gigahertz eight-core monstrosity, you have to look into extreme measures, and immersion cooling is one way to do it. Along with phase change cooling.

I don't know about today, but as of a few years back the highest speed record was held by a Pentium 4... immersed in some liquid I can't recall, with dry ice floating in that to bring the temperature down, and with a special CPU cooler that allowed liquid nitrogen to be just poured over it. It'd only run so long as you kept the coolant pouring in, but it was the fastest processor in the world. That's an engineering achievement to feel proud of.
