passive submersion . . . . :S

[MotMan]

well i was just browsing round on indiegogo and came across this . . .  http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-gladius-world-s-first-passive-submersion-pc  what the frack  

 

could anyone enlighten on this thing

[squirrl]

It's just an oil cooled PC  (slick got his nickname from having one)

Pretty hard to upgrade if it's sealed airtight.

Why are they talking about heat so much... it will obviously put out the same amount of heat over time. Expelling heat is a good thing, retaining it is bad.

 

Because of that comment I don't trust them.

 

Edit: Also one of the comments from an interviewee. "My eyes could feel the difference when looking at the game, also it was a lot more smoother".

 

This is stupid, but maybe her other system was throttling because she lives in a hot environment. So how can retaining heat in the system be good? Its a serious contradiction.

 

And maintenance free? I doubt it.

 

The concept isn't a bad idea, although to be honest the best thing about an oil cooled machine would be building it yourself, after watching the video I wouldn't trust them to build it.

Perhaps the best part is when she said "my eyes can tell the difference". Perhaps she didn't realise it probably had better components than her PC.

Yeah I was actually just editing my post to put that in as well :lol:. No way would I buy this or support them.

"The Gladius - World's First Passive Submersion PC"

 

Wait what. Didnt the guy said he already had one in 2010?

[tobben]

just a bunch of drivel and nonsense as advertisement to attract peoples attention and literally no information about the actual product, this is so sketchy, it's literally dseigned to rip off ignorant people, "after lots of gaming my pc throws alot of heat into the room so it get's warm" well duh? that's what it is designed to do! take the heat from the components and throw it away from the pc, it's not as if the energy gets teleported into the void because it's liquid cooled, it still does exactly the same thing, the only difference is that it can contain more energy, it will still dissipate it eventually, especially if playing for a long time and it gets closer to the threshold.

yeah, I had an oil cooled "passive" pc, after a 24 hour prime 95 run it takes another 20 hours to get the oil back to it's original temperature. and your pc will overheat in oil, it just takes longer.

Ever trust "Made in China" products or "Made in China" people.

[Godsmack]

Well i never buy any edible products that say "made in China" for me or the dogs (we had a dog die and we believe it was from Chinese dog food)

..and there are things like the Chinese drywall that made people sick etc, etc, etc....

 

but to say "or "Made in China" people", that's kinda harsh, I don't trust or distrust a China-men any more or less than any other nationality.

 

you did start it with "Ever", so i don't know if that was a slip or intentional..

 

im not tryin to make a big deal out of it, just sayin

[warmmilk]

so its just an oil cooled PC without a rad to cool the oil?  whats so special about that?

 

also did anyone scroll down to the charts?  here's one of them, those liquid cooled temps look waaay off, especially for the gpu...

*giant picture*

liquid cooling on a stock 2600k 77 degrees? uhm .. did they forget to mount the waterblock or .. what, didn't have fans on the single 120 mm rad?.. this whole thing makes me sick to my stomach, i just .. i can't comprehend what they are trying to achieve are they scammers? are they simply ignroant and clueless? what are they trying to accomplish with thise farce? 

 

go to their kickstarter and have a look at the builds they got suggested i just.. i don't even ... what? i left some comments on the video btw, just fyi i'm pivitrix.

 

EDIT: not to mention that they list the overclocks in ghz and mhz which is absolutely pointless, why even make it in the first place, we want voltage.
