Dude... way cool. You have made the day of nerds everywhere .

 

[DaWhim]

this is what I have been looking for! absolute silent computer. but what about the PSU?

 

[latino666]

Nice

 

[flexy]

this is freaking cool, but i can't believe you !

You know why ? Because that tray is CONDUCTIVE and no motherboard on earth would survive this..you basically shortcutted all the leads on the bottom of the board.

Edit: on the other hand..did you have stands on the board ?

If you'd read the thread you'd find the answer is yes.

Eventually, though, the strain of 120 degrees C ambient temperature and the load of Quake 3 caused the computer to overheat and crash. I rebooted it, and it loaded back into windows. Although Quake 3 still crashed when trying to play. At that point, the chips were ready. I turned off the heat and enjoyed my snack while I waited for the oil to cool so I could use the computer again.

my thoughts exactly. there is a reason you aren't allowed to even put those things in a trash can!

Cute french fries....

 

[imported_LoKe]

SO many people have never heard of this. I don't even OC, nor give a damn about temps and I know of this. I may try this sometime, with this case, sealed, of course.

 

[Dudewithoutapet]

Yeah makes me want to try that too. Sounds very cool. The question thta comes to mind is did you (and the other websites) really need 8 gallons of oil? Can you use less adn still have a "cool" computer? Thanks to anyone that can hepl with this answer

 

[Coldkilla]

wait wait wait.. so its good to put your computer in olive oil? could have it hang in a huge tube and have a clone testing lab for pc's?

 

[Dritnul]

WOW

reminds me of

hack the toaster(search it on youtube or google vids)

 

[MillionaireNextDoor]

And I thought deep-fried twinkies and zucchinis were weird.

10/10!

15/10.

[cliftonite]

[Coldkilla]

wait wait waiaaaatt!!! So if I had a bunch of pc's inside fishtanks of olive oil... they will work?? or will they all die within a week or two.. lmao it would be so awesome to have that... walk into someones house w/ all these mutated pc's...

why dont people use olive oil to run water cooling since its not conductive?

And yes, a computer will work fine in oil like that for indefinite amounds of time. I've seen that before, just never seen anyone actually fry the system... while using it...

2 reasons I can think of, #1, I bet oil would burn up the pumps faster, being thicker than water, #2, you're supposed to use de-ionized water with cooling systems anyway - which is not conductive.

A co-worker just emailed me the pics from this thread :laugh:

Apparently it made it onto http://www.ihatemycubicle.com
