The most disgusting PC hack ever! We build a computer inside an aquarium, and then fill it full of mineral oil, to see if full-on liquid immersion cooling will work better than air or water cooling. Watch as we take PC modification to the next level and put a PC in an aquarium, complete with a ship wreck and fake plants.

    Haha, you bunch of noobs. Next time make sure your power connector is clipped into your mobo.

    Smart Gook

    I know that this is a bullshit comment, it just was just on another hundred videos and was spreading fast so i added on :) And can you like make another video of this so like you can make a acuwall “PC” insted of gust sum stupid test that is a wast of money like you can make a case that looks like a “PC” case and add a heetsink and a fan so you can use it for days and days!!!!!

    why,man?with oil you can overclock a lot your system!it is good!

  5. MrGreekdog says:

    bullshit!

  6. hornerable says:

    about as dumb idea as you can get lol

  7. Scorpion7substance says:

    @Maxaker67 Oh I see then we are alike LOL, wonder if you can smoke it ? :>I

  8. Maxaker67 says:

    Death? I wont die of breathing that if it is enriched with oxygen.

  9. Scorpion7substance says:

    @Maxaker67 I see u don’t fear death we don’t think alike after all XD

  10. Maxaker67 says:

    I want to breath that shit.

  11. Scorpion7substance says:

    @Maxaker67 I’m soo happy somebody else was thinking just like me XD

  12. Maxaker67 says:

    that stuf they are talking about on about 3:00 is fucking LCL like in evangelion.

    SYSTM is awesome

  14. nyaligatoraron says:

    haha it does look badass, now im thinking about turning my old pc into this haha

  15. sora778 says:

    Yea it was, lets just say it was a fun thing to do that looks badass, its great when people ask about it too.

  16. nyaligatoraron says:

    was that HTPC worth it?

  17. AutoMativeX says:

    I know this is off topic, but would you be so kind as you telling me your PC specs?
    Thanks!

    You are comparing the thermal conductivities of cooper and oil.
    Yes, cooper is higher, of course, but you are NOT removing it from the system. Instead, you are replacing the air with oil.
    Oil has a good value of thermal conductivity divided by electrical condictivity AND it is liquid, which means it can touch pretty much every part of your system (more area = more heat transfered)
    the problem is changing the oil or adding chemichal compounds to reduce electrical conductivity.Its a pain in the s

    Cleaning mineral oil form a motherboard is EXTREMELY EASY!!! a 24oz can of Gunscrubber at any local gun dealer will strip the mineral oil off the motherboard in seconds and dry instantly. you will NEVER know it was in mineral oil. ALSO electric motor cleaner spray form Tower hobbies will do it as well. I have done it a few times actually, and feel free to check out my videos of my systems. from mineral oil systems to the only Air conditioned + Liquid cooled system on youtube, its on my channel

    it`s sick why he can’t use a normal cooler??LOL??Aquarium PC i dont wanna get a pc like this :P

    No, you couldn’t distilled water has less mineral content than regular water but it’s still conductive, only pure H2O is nonconductive and you can’t produce more than a few micrograms of it in a controlled laboratory atmosphere. Besides, every substance has a so called electric permitivity index (e), which depends on frequency; at 3GHz air (e=1) behaves different than water (e= little more tahn 1) and oil (e>>>1) so you’ll end up with a blue screen of death.

    If you want to know temps of machines look at other videos. They tend to be around 50 C CPU at 100% load. And about 60 C GPU 100% Load.
    If you change the oil every so often you should be able to keep it from becoming conductive.

    Yeah, Patrick is from the old days when Tech TV didn’t suck balls and was all about content and not trendy hipsters. He was part of the Screen Savers program and introduced tech news in almost the same manner he does here. Still hasn’t lost it.

  24. EdiownedU says:

    rats are not people motherfucker

  25. Fangen88 says:

    what’s the cpu and gpu temp after 2 hours of continuous use? And how long does the oil remain not conductive?
