Go to solution Solved by QueenDemetria,

i have started to be very interested in building a mineral oil cooled custom desk computer

 

 

and i am wondering if i can run the two xeon E5 2667 cpus without a heatsink? 

 

and a i7 4790k also without a heatsink?

I wouldnt, the heatsinks are needed for dissipating the heat in the oil.

Do you want to burn out your CPUs?

Because that's how you burn out your CPUs...

Seriously, don't try it. There is not enough surface area on the plate cover to dissipate the heat fast enough.

No because it lacks the surface area for dissipation.

The Noctua NH-L9x65 is small. I don`t do mineral oil pc`s but guessing from Linus`s build guide, you can use any cooler that supports your socket. You can attach fans to direct the oil through the cooler. (It will run slower but don`t worry it is surrounded by lube.)

you should leave the sstock cooler on both and let them run at like 10 rpm or so, so the hhot oil gets pushed away

I would say just use the stock, you don't need conventional cooling power. Just something to move the oil around.
