Mineral oil PC Build guide

I'm just getting this post ready for tomorrow so I don't forget about it once I get off work!

 

For now just so everyone knows, I just build a mineral oil cooled computer and it is fully functional :D

 

I've still got a few mods to do to the aquarium but i'm getting there! Right now it's fully functional and just needs to have a loop added to it to circulate the oil(that'll be done next paycheck).

 

Expect the full guide to be posted tomorrowon this thread :D

I haven't bought the loop for it yet(that's like $150) but it was around $400. I won't give exact prices until I do the full build guide(i'm editing the raw images getting links etc tonight that's why I can't post it yet).

Oil cooling is like magic, or magnets. but honestly why doesn't all the oil in the tank just get warm and overheat everything?

Well it does 5x better at dispersing heart than air, plus the fans move it (like water cooling does which helps circulate got and cold air), and you can install a pump and a loop to keep it running extra cool!

Your Guide will be relatively short......you'll be able to right a great novel on "draining and cleaning" though ;)

I don't like mineral oil stuff, it's a mess to start building it, and if you no longer want to have a mineral oil PC that stuff won't come off your components.
