Running a computer IN water?

[ZacG]

Saw this and started shaking my head.

 

AsRock has a water/ice motherboard challenge but what this guy does in the video is insane.

 

It is listed as WATER, me thinks he may be using mineral oil.

 

Completely Submirged PC:

 

 

 

Would love to see linus prove/disprove a board under water.

That thing would totally just get messed up if it was water I think the guy is trying to make it sound better than it is lol

Water + electricity is bad on its own. There's loose ends of that PSU's cables in there. It wouldn't work.

It may be deionized water and the pc would kill it self aftew\r a few minutes

[TheKDub]

In water? No.

In mineral oil? Yes.

[W-L]

Well it would work for a bit until the demineralized water started to strip metal ions off of those PCB and metal parts before things go really wrong.

It looks like a showroom of some kind, so maybe a prof of concept?

[Codymm03]

At the end the computer dose shut down which would make me think deminieralized water,

It has to be mineral oil. Pouring pure distilled water won't work as even though they are non conductive at first, they will get conductive in minutes as the water will get ionized.
