If you never read this and you are into extreme overclockin'...READ these "missions"  ;D This guy knows how to have a good time!  www.octools.com/index.cgi?caller=submersion.html I want to try an old board submersed in antifreeze...just for the heck of it! ;D |

yeah 3M makes a no electric conductive liquid that sells for like 300$ a gallon SHHEESH talk about a burn in the pocket

Ok...so we need a cheaper liquid! ;D What about pure anti-freeze..or is it not really available w/o some H2O?  |

At first sight i thought, "These guys must be idiots"...but then when I read on, I was a bit amazed at what they were doing but still, in the back of my mind, I was thinking " What is the real point here? This is one of the most dangerous things anyone could do. These guys are playing with the wrong toys!"
But hey, I can't stop them. I just hope that no one else attempts this.
And then I started wondering, how they were able to acquire liquid nitro?

Naw, thats stuffs not that dangerous. I've had a chance to play with it a little. Great for chocolate covered bananas You just need to use your head. As far as the board goes...I doubt he cared too much if it got ruined. I like the fact when he tried to do a direct cooling with the nitrogen it actually froze the bios. A PC would NOT continue running while floating around in outerspace! ;D |

No problem...welding supply store should have it. Should be less than $4.00/liter. One may need to sweet talk a shop owner to sell it without some sort of credentials. Just flash that IT card or MS cert ;D ;D |

haha jus flash the IT or MS cert. i dunno i've been wanting to do a custom water cooling with my case but i realize my case well I think is too small antec SLK2600AMB is the model if anyone know about water cooling

GEt the ANtec SOHO server case...it'll give you more room to work with

But, I think it would be cool(pun intended) to build ones own. Such as... www.benchtest.com/wcooler1.htmlI have done a lot of plumbing work ...soldering copper pipe. Makes sense to me that building the water block wouldnt be too difficult. |

I know CompUSA sells a CPU liquid cooling unit that they had a system on display in store using the device, and they had antifreeze pumping away through it. The system looked really cool, but carries a $270 price tag for the cooler unit.  That article reminded me of a site way back (when I used to be on HHT forums) of a guy that build a similar thing to the guys in the OCTools experiement. But what was used was baby oil pummpted through a refridgerator cooling coil, and then it pumped the oil right in the styrofoam box that was used of which the system was placed in. The system was complately submersed in the oil and then 2 tubes went from the cooler to the system box. One sucked oil from the box the cooler, and the other pumped the cooled oil back to the box of course. Only thing here is that the cooler the oil gets, the thicker it becomes. Also there's a potential problem when the oil thickens up in the PCI slots I recall. But it was a neat idea. I wish I could find that article on that. These guys on the OCTools site are just NUTS though, hehe. And oh yes, dry ice is quite fun to play with. |

Must clearify...since I made the statement that liquid nitrogen is relatively safe to play around with. This is only true if one knows the difference between LN2 and, lets say, frozen CO2 (dry ice)! Big difference. |

Well yeah...dry ice is cool compared to Liquid nitro which can be brutally cold...

;D This guy knows how to have a good time!
