very very nice m8

thanks for sharing !

I like that - not long before we go shopping in pet shops for a nice case.

this is pretty cool. Wouldn't a heat sink make this much more effective though?

I have a couple of liters of Novac 649,same stuff,boiling point of/near 40c..

The trouble i had for doing an immersion build is the actual container materials..

This is not a new thing,Cray use spray cooling with Fluorinert...that stuff is an environmental disaster tho!!!

@ the pet shop :

id like the fishomatic 2000 please , so what type of fish ru going to put into it ?

no my dear man no fish a PC

nice vid =)

ive made this myself using engine mineral oil as a coolant, problem I had is that without agitating the oil there's no way of keeping the oil cool enough and the thing just overheats

Would this work better then water for a closed loop water-cooling system?

I doubt it, if it's boiling you immediately have a pressure issue.

Very cool idea this, they have mentioned the heatsink question in their comments on the video but I'm not entirely convinced either way yet...

That is so cool.... Would be awsome to see an actual build with it.

I have been looking onto this for a while....

So closed loop would definitely be out of the question, there needs to be a vent somewhere, possibly in a Waterfall Reservoir with a vent on the top? I just don't like the idea of dumping my entire pc in that, I think its cool but clean up might be difficult. Imagin having to scrub off your computer with soap and water each time you service like with the oil computers...

(yes its possible I washed mother boards and other parts with dish soap and hot water along with a soft makeup brush before, make sure it is bone dry before attempting to apply power of any kind)

Its not oil,its Novac or Fluorinert.

 

[SuB]

interesting, so does it do it any favours to have an even bigger heatsink with more surface area for it to boil away more heat or would that make the temperature too low to actually create the boiling effect? (I think i'm understanding that right?)

Since that stuff obviously evaporates at a fairly low temperature, does it leave any residue?

 

[BeyondNight]

Would it not be possible to have some sort of chamber collecting the vapor and having it condense as its then added back into the cooling system ? i think that could be a pretty efficient way of heat transfer so long as you can keep enough of it liquid at any give time.

I don't know much about that stuff is it easy to clean or leave residue when left to dry?

If you notice in the video a fair bit does condense and drip back down into it as cool liquid.

Seems pretty cool. what would the price be on this?

Does the liquid become "de-ionized" over time (like ionized water) does it leave any residue. Does it discolour?

How does does it take to dry your components?
and lastly anyways of keeping the vapour in without using about 10 miles of gaffa tape?
