Ive found another CPU for a better price thats still 8 core & 16 threads, thanks for your help, and it fits in an x99 board

I Don't recommend a TITAN either that's why I have 3... WHOOPISH... Do as I say not as I do.. haha

More than I told my misses what it cost.. ALOT more... 

This is very easy explained.
 
Air,Water, Oil are all mediums. They have different Deltas to dissipate temperature or heat if you want. The factor oil is capable of dissipating heat is the highest off these three, but it still takes a heat sink, that the CPU or GPU is acutally able to give the heat to the medium, therefore you will need a heatsink.
 
It is the same with water cooling. You want to generate a certain flow and maintain that, if the water flows too slow it will heat up because you give to much energy to 'one spot'. But on the other hand side if it flows to fast, it won´t be able to exchange the heat from your heatsink to itself.
 
In oil submerged PCs can handle a heatsink without fan, depending on how much energy is converted to heat and depending on how big your tank and cooling solution is.

You may be able to run the card passively, but without a cooler at all? I highly doubt it. Oil still doesn't absorb heat as fast as metal, so it most likely wouldn't be able to cool the card down only working with the surface area of the chip.

I didn't mean to imply closed loop but for servers etc. they sometimes have vats with the processors in that they then pump the oil to radiators outside.
I've been keen to do an oil build for years now and finally started one a little while ago (build log in sig) however its definitely not the cheapest option for performance there are much better ways of spending your money but as far as looks go it can be beautiful (or ghetto if you want ).
If you are looking into extreme cooling I would suggest looking into phase change cooling, you can go sub-zero and actually use it on a daily basis, IMO NO2 cooling is a bit of a waste unless you really want the highest overclock for a couple of hours but that's just me, I know some people are really into it. I was going to do a chilled liquid setup (phase change -> fluid) because you can go sub-zero with regular use and its easier cool multiple components and upgrade in the future than straight phase change however after I started getting some parts together got caught up in other projects and never got back to it, its still something I'd like to do in the future.

Cool, thumbs up for that! I have been thinking about that project and the money that you literally sink into the oil (though gallons of mineral oil aren´t cheap) isn´t the problem for me. It´s more the sheer interest in get that project done and see it working. But in terms of performance I will stay for a daily use with my custom water cooling loops. I use all the quick connectors and fast draining so changing out parts on my highend PC isn´t a problem at all. And I get very stable OCing for a daily usage and even for benchmarking.
 
But if you go with a compressor cooling that means the effort will stay the same as if you´d go for liquid nitrogen, you need to rubber lay the motherboard and components and so on. But for me I´d just like to OC way much harder for benchmarking, so the NO2 is a very good way to achieve god results given of course that the chip you use is a good one.
 
I think this will be my next big project, to get a new testbench ready and OC GPUs with NO2 .

Not without oxygen,
And it will also need to be at the auto-ignition temperature(probably about 350°C(about 700°F) for mineral oil
And on top of that, it has to have a high enough surface area in relation to the volume 
for it to dissipate at a high enough rate to get a sufficient amount of oxygen to keep burning.
Id say the risk of it igniting is close to zero,
Both becouse of the properties of mineral oil and the thermal throttling of the GPU.
Im just a run of the mill pyromaniac and Hardware madman..

Yep... Oil would burn

But I kill everyone in GTA 5

I have too many computers..   Pictures are from last year. every thing is in storage rather than being in a pile.
 

 

In running a 3 way SLI setup on air something simple and stupid occurred to me in running the configuration.. Instead of running all of the screens from the top card to achieve 3 way SLI run them all from the bottom card to allow the card that is taxed the most the best airflow...(DAH..) Although you will have to have one of the screens on the first card to show the boot up process but then have Nvidia control panel boot all the screens in windows from the bottom card.. Even with fans blowing cool air between the cards i have found this reversed has yielded higher clock speeds with no throttling in my setup.. FACEPALM... Once I thought I was smart...    

I still think the older XFX cards look the best

Love the look of this card.

We all have parts we think look amazing, yet somehow don't see a modern redux. for example, I absolutely love ECS's 560Ti
 

The colours were perfect, and for once the girl on the card wasn't the normal "wat am I even looking at" type.
I'd love to see something like this return for the 960 or something.
 
And then there's obviously older CPUs we want to make a return with a die shrink.
 

 
Yeah....
 
Anyway, what's some stuff you want to see make a comeback somehow?

My vault? Guns, Passport, birth certificate, misc documents. The only "tech" in there is a magnetic LED light.

Not sure what you mean by vault... But I do have some DDR2 RAM for pc and laptops, a Laptop Network card, 3.5 inch HDD,Old Laptop Mobo, Laptop's CPU and Integrated gpu, oh and it's screen....
I have many more but wouldn't getting up from my chair just to find them

Any old thing you have lying in your attic collecting dust. I was confused when it said vault as well.

Didn't know it could also mean stash/storage?

Stash, storage, depository, warehouse, locker, strongbox, dump, bank, cache.

Vault?

Gosh darnit. I had a windows 1995 boot floppy disk. Threw it out though.

Part of my museum to computers (still fixing up a k6-2 based computer and configuring the ISA cards) and yes that's all 8 windows 3.1, 3.25" floppy disks.
