But I would still like to know the impact on temps, and the overall effect that the oil would have on components including any seepage into capacitors.

It seemed like a good idea at the time Posts: 814 Group: Admins Member #85 Joined: 12/03/08 XFire sinofsloth	its because if you mess up you'll break extreme parts

The truth is... Posts: 649 Group: Admins Member #68 Joined: 11/21/08 XFire viceroykarl Country USA Clan KzN	the guy that had the fish tank bubble generator probably gets the heat out a little bit mostly by agitating the fluid and capturing heat in the bubbles and releasing it at the surface but probably the heat doesnt even disperse from the local source and just builds up in that one area of the fluid. the other idea i saw out there was related to taking the compressor from a freezer, cutting the coil short and butting that against the cpu in a makeshift heat block and then they just run the compressor for cooling the cpu. It looked quite effective but if done wrong could be quite dangerous. I believe they called it phase change cooling. http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=4272 looks very fun to install http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=233ff7a19d3e6d088321a2d176c5ffd1&t=224911 Edited by ViceroyKarl, Jul 10 2009, 06:58 PM.

Personally either of the two above run too much risk of condensation, atleast in my climate to be safe. I would much rather use the oil cooling method with a pump and external cooler encased with an evaporator unit to chill the oil, which btw would hold a lower temp then water without freezing which could be awesome. But it would be beneficial to find a pump capable of high viscosity and flow to allow appropriate fluid changeover from warm to frigid.

It would be bad if it leaked out of the coolant hoses though. The one guide though for the freezer compressor to evade condensation is quite involved with messing with that putty and eraser and other junk. Its cool but still not really practical.

The oil did heat up causing his system to funk out after awhile so he tried something different. He put a mini pump in there that pumped the oil out of the tank through a hose that went through another tank filled with water and back into the tank. The oil never actually went in the water just the tube. IT helped keep things cooler.
