My System - Watercooled

[p@blo]

Looks tidy mate, but how come you've decided to use water and not oil? Don't mean as a full submersion, but a closed loop like you have now. Would surely be less of a worry if it were to leak?

Hahaha I know better than to fall for those tactics

I may do it at some point, or I may wait until I build TheMonolith™

LOL @ TheMonolith....

Whenever mate but do it soon lol

Adam where did you get the kit from? and how much? what extra did you have to buy?

All from here mate

Cost me about £300 in all. I had to get some bits from BBQ to help me mount the rad but thats that. TBH if lookws into the mounting abit more then I could have bought the correct bits lol

That is mint mate, good work

Never heard of oil being used to be honest. Anyway my loop is filled with a coolant - Feser One.

Here is a good selling point and it has put my mind at rest lol..

It's been done quite a few times - there are Youtube vids/posts of it, etc. As the oil is totally inert, it provides zero risk of electrical discharge. You can even run a fan-cooled PSU while submerged in oil.

I don't think I could be arsed, myself. Degreasing a gfx card when you swap it out!

Top work on the water cooling, btw!

Well you learn something new everyday . I will rest easy knowing my loop is full of Feser One anyway

Yeah but you don't use oil as a coolant in a conventional setup. Not ever.

Fair point Roy.

I've just had a bit of a search and can see your point. The system would have to circulate quicker (working harder with the more viscous fluid than would be intended for a conventional water set up) to account for the lower SHC of the oil and achieve the same heat dissipation as with water molecules.

Just the non-conductive nature of the oil that made me wonder originally.

Adam,

Is it all still running stable mate?

 

[David]

looks awesome mate, get it tidied up though

Fair bit of work to just watch p.orn!!

Yep all is running well

Ta mate. Yeah all of the cables are tidied up at the back

Fair bit of work to just watch p.orn!!

LOL tis worth it though ..
