I'm sure I will be able to posts my results. I just have to run things by him as far as info concerning his product. He is being very generous and trusting by sending me samples and sharing info with me and I wouldn't want to do anything to ruin that.:D
nononono thats not what i meant. i meant YOUR letter you wrote him :p hahahahahaQuote:
If you are referring to the mail about the oil, I cannot send you a copy or publish on the forum...sorry. His company has spent a lot of time and money developing it and it is not ready for public release yet. By disclosing any specific info about it at this time, or sharing a confidential e-mail, my relationship with him would be finished real quick.
im not going to do anything with oil stuff like that, i was just curiuos what you wrote that convinced him :D hehe
do you have to pay a lot for that oil? and what temps can it be used with?
the idear to have our whole hardware submerged in some kind of oil in the future is really freaky... :eek:
I just got off the phone with him. I am really stoked! He has a very progressive mindset and some good ideas! He is sending me a gallon to start with. That will be enough to fill my chiller, plus do some direct die experiments. The oil is rated to -80f and up to +600f....quite a wide range and low enough for phasechange applications. It should be here in a week or so. That gives me time to finish the block and do some baseline testing with plain water. He is not charging me for the oil as I am helping him test it. After the direct die testing, we will move on to Phasechange, testing the basic oil with different additives to see what works best and then lastly I will try the completely submerged mobo. He has all the things at his desposal that I lack...like a lab for example. I think there are some very real possibilities with this project! :D
Some guys have already done it, the oil that theDude is talking about can be used in a watercooled system instead of waterQuote:

Looks like someone from xtreme has done the oil cooling before

Just scrool down a bit
Lots of guys have done it. I have seen many pics on the net with many different oils. I wonder what he used and what kind of results he had? Anyway...first things first...that's gonna be just for kicks and not really what the oil will be designed for.
The bad thing about the timing is that I have surgery on the 23rd of this month. That will slow me down for a couple of weeks, I week in hospital and another to get back on my feet. But, 3 months before I return to work so that gives me some time to devote to it.
I hope it's not too serious. I'm sure you'll be back on your feet rapidly
No sweat....brain transplant. I was lucky enough to find a female donor....never even been used. :D

Dude, Looking good my friend :toast: I hope you get on well with it. Let us know how you get on and how well it works.
If you ever tried it with water be good to see how much of a difference in temp it makes than using a waterblock.
I hope you dont damage any hardware. Good luck!

that looks really cool man!
God i love this forum.
Thanks sandman....glad to see you stuck around! :DQuote:

yeah i really start to like this forum too... :banana: :toast: checking for replies every 30mins or so when im @ the pc :D ...gotta calm down a bit, already starting to spam this forum :stick:
OK THIS GOING TO BE MY LAST REPLY FOR TODAY :D
That's what we gonna see :)Quote:

I knew it :lol:
I think direct cooling with normal water (not chilled) won't work better than cooper cooling. Water has a big heatcapacity but lower (f*** my english).
water is a very good heat insulator, i think thats what you wanted to say. it can absorb a lot of heat, but the water molecules dont "share" the heat but are kinda greedy and want to keep it for themselves :p
well direct die cooling without chilled water still performs nicely, and you dont need to spent so much money and work on the block.
KingInge2000,
I understand and you may be right. I want to try it with ambient temp water, then chilled water and last, the special oil that is coming next week. The oil 1st at ambient, then chilled. :D
Ok guys.....would like to have your input before I mount the block to the CPU (permanently). With water flow in mind, would it be best to mount it vetically like so:
Or...horizontally like this. Please explain why you think one is better than the other. Thanks! :D
That's a good idea! you get the help of gravity but our pump will have to work harder (not a lot much i think) and beware of the bend, you'll want to make it as soft as possible to not cut the flow
I think you'll have more water stagnant in the second case
I would say go withe first as for like antipop said. One concern there though... case. If its going into a case, and its one of the smaller sized ones, it might put a kink into the top hose there?
Just a thought.
Yeah...I like the vertical idea, but it would require a mod to the mounting hardware for the block, so I want to know, "is it worth it?" and there is the problem of a possible kink in the incoming line due to the angle. Keep in mind that incoming and outgoing can be setup either way also and is having the water "pool" at the bottom a bad thing? Is the fastest flow possible what I should be looking for? Those are some of the questions that come to my mind at this point. I have my own opinions, but want to know what others think before I proceed further. :D
BTW: I choose an xp1800 for my chip...removed the 4 corner pads for close fit.
