I was watching the mineral oil cooled pc vids again recently and wondered if you could make one using 3M Novec instead of oil?

Just had an idea for another method of exotic cooling. Liquid nitrogen but with a twist, the nitrogen is not applied to the components. A special case is made that can be completely sealed except for a gas vent in the top. The case has an outer layer of insulation to keep the temps cool once the internals are chilld. There would be a container in the bottom of the case to contain the liquid nitrogen that gets automatically topped off as the gas boils off. The process would start by flooding the case with just gaseous nitrogen removing moisture from the atmosphere within the case. once that is done you then fill the container with the liquid nitrogen to reduce the temp within the case. internals still have their normal air heat sinks so they still do heat exchange with the now chilled air in the case. The gas vent ensures no pressure build up occurs as the nitrogen is replaced as it boils off due to heat. Got the idea from a Tom Scott video about the nitrogen tanks in new york. Would this work?

I was getting high 80s @4.8ghz before i delided my 7700k. im now running at 60 @5.1ghz. Using a corsair H100i 280mm rad. The thermal paste Intel uses is abysmal it literally came off in one swipe with little effort.

Just been looking around and is the alphacool 280mm eisbaer any good?

the bottom of the block for this looks allot like the block thats on my other pc's h80iv2

I have brought a i7-7700k and overclocked it to 5ghz @ 1.32v however my master liquid 240 seems woefully inadequate to dissipate the heat generated (88c peak under 2hr ROG realbench) I am looking at Swifttech H240x2 or the Corsair H115i both are available for around £130 I am looking to fit these in my Mastercase maker 5 anyone have any recommendations?

I do have a question here though, if heat is really such a big issue for you and from what your saying your room is fairly well insulated as the CPU is driving up temperatures wouldn't adding more ventilation to the room be a more cost effective solution to changing platform?

Has linus had access to your pc at any point? seems like the perfect LTT crash screen.

Adjusting the airflow would mean plugging the case fans into my MB, Unfortunately that means my ocd would be triggered as there would be a button on my case that does nothing. I had Cooler Master send me a replacement because the USB type a 3.0 port would not work in usb3 mode and it was annoying the hell out of me.

Well right now i cant turn the PC on as the cooler is being RMA'd (started making a gurgling sound) as for the back fan it is filtered as i have pets and the fur is abundant in my house so i prefer to safer than sorry. I am currently thinking about getting a third intake fan for the front and leaving the back as exaust. That way i have 3 intake and 3 exaust. good idea?

I have a Cooler Master Mastercase Maker 5 with 2x140mm fans at 1200rpm, Intaking at the front and one 140mm 1200rpm fan exausting at the back. My cpu is cooled by a 240mm radiator on the top with 2 fans exausting at up to 2000 rpm. my question is should i flip the rear exaust to make sure i have +ve pressure?

Thats clean through to the substrate there is no chance of that thing working!

Ok after doing some prolonged stability tests i have found out that my cpu is stable at 5Ghz at 1.345v however my temps peak at this voltage are package 73 core 1 88 core 2 86 core 3 84 core 4 87 tests where done using ROG realbench (1hour) and aida 64 (5.5 hours) are thease temps safe for everyday (gaming) use or should i dial the oc back?

I have vengeance lpx 3466 running with my 7700k

ok i cant seem to get my system stable using the adaptive. i have 3 options Sign (+/-) Turbo mode voltage (From 0.25v to 1.3v) Offset voltage (0.1v to 0.999v) i know my system is stable at 1.32v does anyone know what values i should put in here as leaving them on auto often provides 1.440v to the cpu.
