Oil Cooled PCs

[Ghost]

I personally don't have one but I plan to make one.

Has anyone had experience with these. Whats good for them and whats bad? What components are good?

Slick's GTX 260 died because of that, not a good idea.

Dont forget that mineral oil hardens the cables, I remember Slick saying his ducky keyboard's wire hardened up and if you apply strength to straighten, it would snap :(

So yeah, if you have a spare motherboard and all PC components lying around to play with, go ahead with the build :) but don't use that PC as your main workstation because I wont be sure about its reliability.

Not ideal solution for a computer that you upgrade a lot or uses brand new hardware. Would make for a very interesting experiment with cheap or old hardware though

If I had the hardware lying around home I would do it in a heart beat. I would however properly seal the case so that oil couldn't get out over time.

I've been running my ATi graphics card for over 4 and a half years now , and it still works perfectly and even overclocks as well as when I first bought it.
