Sub zero cooled, AND,Sub zero

[mx]

When i'm bored i usualy come up with the crazyest of ideas, and this one was just crazy enough that it MIGHT just work.

If one wants to SERIOSLY overclock a CPU, one usualy ends up with sub zerp cooling, i am referring to refigirator compressors ect.
but the biggest problem is condensaition ect, once you cool something below zero ice builds up and makes a WHOLE lot of problems.,

BUT what if one would submerge the PC in mineral oil, AND cool the CPU to sub zero, ??
 

yes one would have to find an oil that would not become to viscous in the lower temperatures, ect ect, but one would solve the problem with condensation,
just curious, anybody ever tried this?.,

the oil would be above zero

so it would cause the CPU to heat up even more, making the phase change cooling less effective

Well in theory it will work. But you need to seal the oil container (problem with cables) and you need a LOT of energy to cool down the oil especially when the PC is duping > 500 watts into the oil.

I will stick to my "above zero" but passive cooled oil PC.

I'm no expert, but i belive there are multi phase systems,
or just "go big or go home", costum built phase change cooling, INDUSTRIAL power.,

in the end LOL, computer uses 1000-1500w, and the cooling system is 5KW..

When people say this, it does not work. What would even be the point?

Just submerge the condenser. Although a little pointless.
