everyone watch this non conductive fluid video!

lmao this should be stickied because of all the videos proving the points of the fluids that can harm your pc.i actually was blown away by the fluidxp and powersupply video.so we can put this to rest then,nothing is non conductive as far as aftermarket fluids goes.:shakes:

did you read some of the comments on the youtube fluidxp video... they had me :ROTF:

Idk, I've used fluorinert fc-77 in a PC and that was a completely nonconductive coolant.

Unfortunately, it caused the eheim 1048 to burn out.

Exahertz could you try distilled water and some anti aglae stuff and see if it is conductive

Sure!

4 drops of Pure PT Nuke

947 Ohms

Now when i mix the 4 drops in distilled water:

∞ ohms... however it was a dead short at 250vdc

Thanks Exahertz! So distilled water with anti aglae is not conductive as shown in the second picture?

it shorted under higher voltages.

Umm so basically everything except distilled water is conductive :(

And even distilled is conductive if there are contaminants (and there almost always is).

Yeah i guess so. Oh well just have to be more careful when i am setting up to prevent leaks :)

Fluorinert is an entirely different animal which really shouldn't be lumped in with the 'non-conductive PC coolants'.

Considering that we're not really dealing with anything above 12V DC... 250V DC is an acceptable short voltage ;)

After all, you can get air to short if the voltage is high enough... :rolleyes:

lol. true.

so why wont oil conduct? what if it had contaminates in it?
and furthermore (dont laugh) why hasnt there been a liquid cooling loop with oil pumped through it (and of course using an oil pump)?

omg. we should post this in the air cooling section
lol
