Planning a strange build (just for fun)

[AlbinoTexan]

So I want to do a build kinda like a mineral cooled pc. But that is expensive. (This might be the same cost or less idk it's just for fun)

 

 

I want to make a oc that is submerged in freezing water. Sounds crazy right? Well this is what I was thinking

 

 

no idea on parts yet. But I want to see it be used in 4K gaming. (I have the moniter)

 

 

so I was thinking of getting like a heat sink like 212 evo (probably something bigger) for the cpu and gpu

 

then getting some hard plastic casing made to go around the mother board and all the components ( I have a buddy who can make these.

 

and for the cpu and gpu to still cool I'll get a custom make casing to fit on top of the heat skin just the part the sits on the couch not the fins.

have holes cut a water tight gaskets to put around It so the fins and heat pipe can go in the wate with no water going In. 

 

 

Then just have super cold water being pumped in a case and pumped out in a loop. (Still working on how)

 

 

no matter how many of you say it's dumb I'm still going to try to do It. I'll test it with shit parts from eBay before I go with the expensive ones.

 

if your going to say don't do it. Please don't reply becase that is sunless input that is not needed as it is not helpful to me in any way shape for forum. And that would be against the COC.

Sounds great

[Matty2hatty]

This would be cool… I would try to do it with cardboard instead of parts if you know what I mean (instead of buying shitty stuff)

Well I hope your friend is very good at making those bits of plastic because if there is one leak then you will kill all of your components. 

 

Personally I would never dream of doing it but hay not my money to waste...

My thoughts:

1. That would be epic.

2. One little leak would mean death. So you gotta be sure your friend knows what he's doing.

3. How would you keep pumping freezing water through there lol.

Seems dangerous but also cool at the same time. Hope it works

This sounds super ballsy. If your friend is this skilled with precisions manufacturing, he should start a business.

And perhaps look for some hydrophobic spray that you could apply to all the parts as an added precaution?

[KingUnicorn]

You need more than a radiator for that. You better hope that all the seals are good (I suggest rigorous testing before using them). That would be pretty COOL (pun intended). I bet people would love pics of the finished product. You could rig up an ice maker to constantly produce ice for the rig and hook it up to the system. Good luck on the build

So basicly, a custom water loop under water PC?

 

Also i am guessing in order for it to pump freezing water would be by having a freeze box on the side or top and having your water loop go through it and basicly (cool to 0) while it flows, but that sounds more like you need a liquid nitrogen ( P.S. would be probably easier to do it subbed in liquid nitrogen hahahahah)

Be sure to post a build guide if you do plan on doing it. Would love to see how it goes.

Use a spirit  something that can hold subzero without freezing, VODKA!!!! (If only)

That's a good idea to test for leaks

I was thinking have like tubing a in and a out and set up like a pump to pump though it and loop it. And the freezing water could come from like a bathtub or something I'll have to think about that

Will do!

how about silicon oil? Non conductive and and doesn't ruin rubber and install a chiller in the system so no need for a pipe.

would that still require casings around parts? and i want whatever it is to look like water as much as possible, i want it to be a dangerous build. something that hasn't been done or is rarely done

Just in order to contain the oil but it does not need a top

i mean the parts them self. i kinda wanted to use something that has a risk factor. unlike a mineral oil pc that the parts are safe in it. like water if a part goes in water then RIP

Reread the post and I have a question. How do you expect water not to get through the fans?

i am not going to be using fans, the heat skins with no fan will be in the water and that will be cooling the CPU and GPU, id mount a CPU cooler on the GPU
