waterless water cooling

[cceciljr13]

I'm referring to the article on submerging the mobo and whatnot in oil/grease/water etc...one of the readers (Joel) suggested "waterless water". From what i can gleen this compound is a 3M product called Novec 1230 and is available in 11 lb. sample quantities for those interested. I had hoped to post this where it would get more attention but am to lazy or ignorant to do this anyway best of luck

Cheap ass but hey I would do the same thing and save money. Though I highly doubt you would get multiple samples unless you provide them with different address. I also heard that Galden Thermal Fluid is very good at this with almost no electrical conductivity.

But I go to lan parties so i don't think it's a good idea to have a 100 pound pc.

 

[chuckshissle]

Do you know if anyone has tried using Astro Glide or body oil for cooling.

That would be funny, having your pc smelling like sex!

I would have a lan party in a gangster-ridden area with your 100lb pc.

because....

THEN NO ONE CAN STEAL IT!

ha!

"waterless water cooling" is joel's terminology, not mine... he was referring to the novec 1230 i believe...gay as it is...

would it be possible to dip a motherboard in liquid nitrogen?that would kick serious ass, everything would be able to do 2x stock speeds.

I don't know, but that made me laugh. haha.

 

[chuckshissle]

No I don't think you can dip the whole mobo into a vat of nitrogen. Supercold temperature mean superconductor but the mobo probably would end up getting fried. Liquid nitrogen is a superconductor. But if you wrap the mobo with silicon then it might just work. Maybe. :?

 

[purelithium]

Your physics are flawed, Chuck. Liquid nitrogen by itself doesn't become a superconductor, but the metallic object it cools, becomes a superconductor.

 

[NaomiHIkaru]

where can you get the samples? I think i might try it out, but there was also an article i read that it dries 25 times faster than water so yeah.... you might need a completely seald system..

pcb gets incrediblely fragile at -196c... dipping a whole mobo in ln2 is impractical and it wouldn't get you higher clocks

ln2 is a condutcor in itself.

how about dip the mobo in polyurethane let dry making sure all points are at least 1cm thick coated.

Then just use oil or light grade motor oil like THG suggests. Additionally you could use a pump to pump the oil to a radiator and blow a fan across that to keep the oil circulating.

Bad thing once you coat it in poly that's it no more changing cards or proc. :twisted:

how about you just cool it normally. lol

Lame. Make your own phase changer and hit -100c.

woooord

actually i am thinking of it, just have no idea where to buy semi conductor..... anyone know?

Chuck said "superconductor" I was stating that he was wrong.

 

[scoobertscoobydoo]

oh ok, just wanted to make sure we all knew that lN2 is a conductor, dident want anyone to dip there P3 in it, lol

 

[parlee]

agree, im gonan stick with my 120mm fans

goto: 3M
If Novec 1230 11lb sample=FREE:
Then ORDER IT...
