So this idea of a very expensive. Very custom. If possible.

 

Artic Glacier 

 

Can you watercool cool a mineral oil submerged pc.

    How will the mineral oil effect hardline tubing?

     And does length of tubing effect waterçooling?

 

Yes this is probably crazy.. a little bit insaine. But the potential of the wow factor

There's no point.

I assume you mean to submerge the PC and loop in mineral oil, correct?

Sure, it would look cool, but the mineral oil wouldn't be doing anything unless you had radiators attached, which gets rid of the need for a custom loop in the first place.

uh, the mineral oil IS the liquid cooling...

using regular liquid cooling tubing inside a mineral oil PC is pointless lol

Yes it is for mostly looks. More concerned it mineral oil would effect the tubing.. which guess not since they use it in the mineral oil build. The oil just gives it a really nice look. Plus water cooling gives us better temperatures. So I want to go for the look. But not effect the hardline tubing. And not effect the water blocks and such. So yes I have seen mineral oil submerged pc. But none with water cooled componentso in them. I do realize this is extremely and unnecessary. 

 

 

 

 So revised question. Will mineral oil effect water cooling components such as water blocks and other custom loop components

depends

PETG should not touch anything made of glycol

idk if mineral oil contains that

just dont use PETG

 

also you will need two separate loops, one to cool the oil and one to cool the fluid

No, not unless he wants to keep the VRMs cool. The hardline loop will keep all the components cool, the mineral oil is just for looks so you wont need to cool it unless you've got some serious mobo heat
