or another approach would be to loop the refrigerant through a heat exchanger that would be submerged in the mineral oil tank, and have it set to keep a temp to prevent clogging around the heat exchanger, but that would make a significant difference in recirculated mineral oil temps...

so, in order to accomplish this combo, there would have to be a limiter to chill the oil to a temperature that is tolerable, pump-able, and that would avoid clogging at lower temps.

Hey Linus, I feel you went just short of combining your cooling enthusiasm, where you did the ultimate mineral oil submerged build(which was totally cool, and I really appreciated watching), and your ultimate cooling build with the chilled cpu block from an old air conditioner. Why not combine the 2, and recirculate the mineral oil through the ac cooled loop? you would not have to deal with ambient condensation in a mineral oil submerged build, and really curious how combining those solutions would fair in overclocking. I just haven't seen that type of combined cooling done in a video format yet. Am I late to this conversation? has this been done, and I just missed it? it hasn't made my video list, from me watching related videos for weeks...so let me know if you did something similar.
