Cool!!!:D:D

uhmm.. i am wondering how is it possible ? is those chipare water poof ?

Even the psu is inside.

its like an aquarium with oil instead of water and pc peripherals instead of fish :stuck_out_tongue:

that oil appears to be some non conductive substance…

instrestin…
if this can conduct heat.. then it`ll be very useful…
reduce the overall heat of the sytem…

thats one cool setup… looks amazing :open_mouth:

i was wondering, what kinda cooling does this give since thers no contact with air means stuff wudnt rust either ? this wud be uberkool for us peeps who stay close to the sea

thanx

The system under load was a different story. We started 3DMark06 looping, and watched the temperatures climb. It took a really long time. After an amazing 12 hours, the system topped out with a CPU temperature of 88C. Yes, that is really hot…on the other hand, the system was rock solid and didn’t crash when running 3DMark06 for 48 hours at these temperatures.

wtf 48 hours n still stable at 88, this is wicked seems like a good cooling solution unless ur rendering n stuff.60$ for a can but i guess it takes 3-4 cans to fill up the tank

hmm i wonder how i’d be able change parts .. or is something requires minor adjustment.. hmm… looks good .. but is it really practical enough? and i wonder if a fanless would have been better… same goes for passive cooling for the GFX.. ..hmm might have helped bring temps down maybe..
