Mineral Oil pc.

[Evil Ninetales]

Ok so I've had my liquid cooling pc for about a year now and kinda wanna challenge myself so I've decided to go "balls-to-the-wall" as I believe they call it. I wanna start working on a mineral oil pc. I just got a few questions to anyone thats done it before.

1) Can this potentially work with any fish tank
2) Is it dangerous to hardware ( I keep hearing two sides to the story )
3) Will I regret it.

Yes but puget systems had to stop selling the kits so I will have to improvise which is why I asked if it would work with any fish tank.

[rotNdude]

It will work with any fish tank as long as it's big enough.

It can be dangerous to hardware, depending on what you submerge in the oil.

You'll regret it.

it really isnt worth it.

this would be cooler when it becomes available to the masses.

1. Yes if it's big enough, find out big you need it to big to fit all the components.

2. Depending what you use, research on the types of oils you need to use.

3. Depends on you, it may look cool with swag, but you will regret it when you want to resell the parts, or whatever other reason that will later come.

I think I'm stuck in the middle of "I want my next big PC challenge" and "I really don't want to destroy my pc".

Replacing parts will just be hard. It's heavy too. It's not worth it for practical use, unless you just want something cool.

[Evil Ninetales]

I'm not too worried about replacing stuff. My pc as it is right now is futureproof enough.

I'm getting the feeling now it's a bit too much of a risk with the high end hardware I got.

I've now decided to start working on a showcase pc instead.

I'm going to order the ThermalTake tower 900 Which seems to be a very impressive showcase for me to work on.

Will definetly give me that challenge I've wanted.

Nothing is future proof in computer electronics.

If you want better cooling, get a custom loop water cooler for your whole PC, that will allow you good OC with low temps and low noise.

Oil is great, but you have to keep in mind, that the oil needs to cool down as well and withouth a radiator a small tank will get hot pretty fast and your components will start thermal throttling.

This will end with you having a very greasy and quite broken PC

Did you look at my previous post.

Look at the picture. My current pc is already entirely water cooled in one big loop. I was looking for something new to challenge myself. I'm now going for my first hardline tubing thermaltake tower 900 build.

The same feeling crossed my mind to be honest. It's kinda why i've given up on the idea.
