Cooling using oil

[TheMajor]

Lol.
BTW, You have to leave the fans running in the oil for better "oil-flow".

 

[Him]

Thats reasonable. So would motor oil suffice? That wouldnt start to stink or attract bugs, like vegetable oil would. Maybe pneumatic oil?

 

[MrBebop26]

That is weird to think about...
And an oil filter to keep it clean. lmao

HAHA! Yeah...

one down side, major league downside... What happens when you want to get away from the oil for one reason or another? Man, taking those parts out, and cleaning them... Damn, that is a task in itself! I wouldnt even know how to start to clean a mobo of oil.

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

You would never have to oil your fans again

 

[Him]

HAHA! Definetely not. Those things would have a hell of a time running in all that oil. Computer fans arent designed to push anything more than air, and it is VERY easy to stop one of those from running. however, it is oil. BAH!

Well, you'd probably have three major problems with motor oil.

1. Motor oil is designed for applications with MUCH more heat than your CPU.
2. Motor oil is very thick, so you'd need a beefy pump system to move it through the little hoses rapidly enough (which would probably req something noisy.
3. You'd have to find a better way to cool the oil when it comes out from the CPU.

 

[FadingTheory]

Shoobies right, motor oil wont work.

The entire concept of oil dosn't seem to be worth the trouble.

 

[Him]

It dosent seem to pratical, but it does seem cool to mess around with such an idea. It's definetely worth a look see, see it in action, and perfecting it.

If you had a lot of PC's, linked up in a chain, a motor-oil cooling system would be useful, since you could pipe the same line through all the boxes and have a radiator system setup to handle the heat accumulated from the whole setup. An oil cooling system for a single (or even a dual) processor system is overkill and impractical.
