Whoops sorry kinda new around here. But thanks!

Thanks! Not too deep, we won't go past ~5m, but I designed all the oring seals using standards which *should* be good to far more (probably after the hull cracks). It's for a competition. Basically it drives around and uses a combination of vision and sonar to interact with this obstacle course and does things like shoot torpedos at a target (using compressed air). Drop us a follow on twitter: <-redacted->

That's a fair point, but size is a major limitation. We simply don't have the spare space in the hull to create the proper heatpipes. (It took me like 30hrs in solidworks to figure out how to jam the pc hardware in, adding pipes isn't really an option). We're also a bit late in the process to make a design change like that... I tossed a render of the sub in for some size reference. But thanks for the help! I think I'm going to go for one of those cheapo amazon pumps.

We're using a concentrate. It's closed loop there's a radiator outside. However in the short term it's not too bad to run just normal water as long as you filter out particulates and clean it somewhat regularly. It won't last long term and performance will be bad due to corrosion, but it's been done and worked.

We aren't sucking in the surrounding water, it's closed loop and we have a radiator outside the hull. That way we can test it outside of the water. Heat sinking straight to the hull probably won't be sufficient because we're running an i5 and a 1060. It's for a vision tracking RCNN (rapid convolutional neural network, a type of machine learning)

I'm working on a water cooled PC to go in a robot submarine. There simply isn't space in the robot for a pump, so I need to stick a pump in the water. I started modifying a swiftech mcp50x but before I got to test it I somehow broke it :(. Does anyone know if that pump is submersible, or if there is a different one that is? There's all these crap ones on amazon, but I don't know if it'll be good enough. https://www.amazon.com/Cytec-Cooling-Brushless-Computer-computer/dp/B018E6ZWIQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1495850749&sr=8-4&keywords=submersible+water+cooling+pump Thanks! -Seth

Cool thanks!

Hi all, Idk if this is the right sub to post this in, I'm pretty new around here. Anyways, I'm building a VERY custom quite modded PC to power a robotic submarine. As you could imagine, that comes with some challenges. It's completely water cooled, but that leaves us with one challenge. I don't have any fan to plug into the cpu fan port. The radiator will be external and not powered by any fan (it'll be sitting in water). Any fans/pumps I do have will need to be controlled by an external microprocessor because there are times when we need the sub to be completely silent (sonar searches and the like). It's an i7 based build with an MSI h81i itx mobo. Will I be able to boot with no CPU fan, and if not is there any way around it? THANKS! -Seth

Cool, thanks!

We're doing a GPU also, so AIO becomes very challenging. I was thinking of doing what RicY said. To be honest, everything seems like a bad solution, at that seems like the only doable one. I was also thinking about using some quick disconnects to put a reservoir in line while we fill, then take it out once it's full.

Hi, So I am building a pc and simply don't have room for a reservoir. I know it sounds weird, but trust me I have reasons. I'm actually building it into a robotic submarine, and the enclosure for the computer is pretty tiny. So I just can't find room for a reservoir. Is it possible to not have one, and do you have any advice for me? Thanks! -Seth
