So I had a few questions about mineral oil cooling. 

1) Can anyone recommend a tank for me? If you know a tank please send Amazon link. For reference ill be using an ATX motherboard.

2) I have no idea what pump to use.

I have a mineral oil coold PC, but I didn't use a fish tank and no pump ;)

 

Use a tank with thick wally and one that is welded instead of glued.

As for the pump, any "standand" watercooling pump should work just fine. As you have no GPU / CPU waterblock the restriction in the loop is reduces, making up for the viscosity of the oil. But make sure you get "thin" oil. I use "ADDINOL WEISSÖL WX 15", with a viscosity of 15 mm^2/s at 40°C.

 

If you need more information, look here or ask me directly:

 

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil
