Idea for LTT video.

[3 Lions]

Hi, I just want to suggest a video idea. We already know what car anti-freeze does to a custom liquid cooling loop but what about the other fluids from the car such as engine oil, brake fluid, gearbox oil, power steering fluid and windscreen wash. Can you test this please, I'm guessing the engine oil and brake fluid will do quite well because they are designed to cool.

I know it's stupid but I would like to know what would happen.

viscosity,look it up.

I'm pretty sure the pump would die shortly if you use dense fluids

Everything listed except windshield fluid is much too think to be used for liquid cooling. Not to mention you'd never get them clean once used, so you'd need multiple sets of CPU/gpu and radiators,which isnt a very efficient way to determine what should be plenty obvious. 

 

Also before someone says "well what if we just try windshield fluid instead" It's not made to cool your windshield. I'd be surprised if it preforms any better than regular tap water

Anything with "oil" in the name, look at mineral oil build. That should explain why they work and why they just won't play nice with rotating things. Like pumps.

At this rate, why not use custard to cool your PC

Would be cool if they try household products.

Liquid oxygen cooled pc. PLAUSIBLE

Think the OP is on to something tho.

Perhaps not with the products he mentioned but just drive to wallmart and look around for possible substitutes for liquid cooling?

"cooled by positive thinking and sheer determination".

JayzTwoCents already tested some, along with said Antifreeze.

 

 

I don't see why there should be any re-testing. Some other memes or myths, maybe.

 Um Antifreeze inst designed to Cool? its like the closet thing to a PC watercooler  Radiator, Fan ect... your best and only bet for this working is Antifreeze.   Breakfluid doesnt cool breaks nor does it run through a loop. 

 

Oil is probably too thick for most pumps in PCs i would assume

Idk if that was meant as question or not. But purpose of antifreeze isn't cooling. But preventing engine fluids from freezing when engine isn't running. Much like anti-corrosion fluids prevent water from corroding metal pipes.
