Air cooled computers are for wimps. But while the idea of keeping temperatures in check using water might be a step in the right direction, Intel is doing something even more radical: it's dunking entire servers—the whole lot—into oil to keep them chill. Don't panic, though: they're using mineral oil, which doesn't conduct electricity. It's a pretty wacky idea, but it seems to be working. After a year of testing with Green Revolution Cooling, Intel has observed some of the best efficiency ratings it's ever seen. Probably most impressive is that immersion in the oil doesn't seem to affect hardware reliability. All up, it's extremely promising: completely immersing components in liquid means you can pack components in more tightly as the cooling is so much more efficient. For now, though, it's probably best to avoid filling your computer case with liquid of any kind
I can see the local kirana store walla smiling away.. "20lts Saffola bhejna bhaiiya.. computer ko tel mel karna hai" & in a parallel galaxy.. Soon Thermaltake will come out with gawdy over the top "Immersion Rig Chassis"
Dude .. Open a news channel. Or a live broadcast channel on youtube.. Or ban me.. But please not those two HORRID WORDS.. Trust me.. They are a pain in the arse Tapatalk on iPhone 4S to the rescue
Lol.. This would be something.. wonder what happens if you have a leak? How about putting the entire rig in a refrigerator and sealing it shut to prevent any water buildup??
I am wondering what will happen in case of fire.. Considering its class 3b combustible Tapatalk on iPhone 4S to the rescue
Oil cooling is pretty old, Infact in my previous college atleast a decade back some people were trying oil cooling with AMD processor in early 2000s these monster AMD processors were hot as ?#@*&%!^$~ .
See this ! its horribly old tech !! you can even buy from these guys ! Mineral Oil Submerged Computer; Our Most Popular Custom PC Computer cooled using a Mineral Oil filled Fish Tank - Hacked Gadgets – DIY Tech Blog
^^ wont really need it unless you running a HTPC with 4 big a$$ cards, dual processors that are hex core or something.
Pretty much everything is well running over the top performance and heating is not all that bad until unless you want to do it just for the sake of it.
