  1. So what happens when your case develops a slight leak 🙁


  2. Never mind a leak… What about the fire risk?


  3. I wonder if a hard drive would work in oil? I guess not.


  4. I read about this when tomshardware posted the video. They said that pin density is the biggest concern,
    high pin density can cause stray current to jump the gap between pins in the cooking oil. You could seal
    the densely populated areas of a hard drive’s PCB with silicone sealant, and seal the PCB to the casing
    to keep cooking oil from getting under the PCB. I doubt that an oil cooled hard drive would have any
    benefits to offer.


  5. i saw a guy in germany do that, but he put the entire pc in it, including the hard drives
    idk if he did anything to them, i only saw a pic of a pc in a big tub of oil


  6. to do the opposite is to put ur entire pc in a vacume and heated to death!

    wil would the ATX power supple will work in oil?


  7. I think danger of fire is quite low – most oils have quite a high flash point – and it’d be even lower if one used specialiced oil mineral like transformer oil or even more high tech liquid like Fluorinert(TM) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinert] etc.

    Hard drives in general won’t work as they have a breahing hole. I’ve seen this tried in couple of places and usually HD’s die.
    Anyone have an idea for this as oil would silence the noise from a HD too? Perhaps a snorkel of somekind???

    I wouldn’t put ATX power into coocking oil, even though it too should be non-conductive enough too, but with liquids in 1st point one could allmost certainly imerse power too.


  8. i think ther cool so i think ill build 1


  9. You can have your pc and fried foods all in one easy package. Beat that.


  10. Note: the German guys who did it, held the hard drives above the oil.
