There's a thought. Anyone tried watercooling with pure gold? If so, how did they keep it liquid? I must go try this ... thank you marky_h for the inspiration!

From Canada, Thanks for a great luagh ! this IS pure gold I water cool my dual Xeon servers, and no I didn't fill up the case .

How old is this thread ?

(Ya I joined from another forum JUST to say this)

Wait a second .... how the hell do you watercool if you DON'T fill up the case?!

magic ! lol

Have you realy tried actual water cooling ? lovely way to do it

That's what they said about central heating, but it burnt down the neighbourhood.

[supermackem]

Man i didnt see this thread and read the first copy of post. LMAO hehehehe man i wish i couldve seen that pc filled with water wouldve been asowme.

What's your view on the clingwrap or the oil cooling?

[davidja]

Think ive just water-cooled my laptop - can't stop crying with laughter!

sorry, tell me i got his wrong PLEASE! you filled your pc with water? am i right, and you expected it to work. you filled your pc with water ***! you must be joking, i cant even conscider how dumb that is, no offence man, im sure you just got the wrong end of the stick and took advice but still you filled your pc with water! did you actualy think that would work?

Water cooling - cooling with water.
Central heating - heating from the center.
Is it Comer's fault for thinking "water cooling" just meant filling his pc with water, or my fault for thinking "central heating" meant lighting a fire that accidentally burnt down the neighbourhood? NO! I don't think it was. Now go away and leave us to think about where we went wrong.

Lost website. Answers to the name Markus.
Could not be found.
If found, call your DNS.

the link worked for me. shame the sites mostly in german though

[Paul Shirley]

I think pictures of a fishtank full of oil and a PC needs no translation

Could do with a portion of chips and some batter sausages sizzling in it though

It works now.

That guy has a Knoppix CD. Wonder how he keeps it cool ...

[cappo]

!!!! this beggers belief beyond all recognition, only read the first page before I pished myself laughing on the floor, this cannot be true, can it, it cant be, please tell me this is a chicken nuggets idea of a fib.

could I use recycled man juice for this purpose?? save me a trip to the toilet....

It's certainly worth a try. Do it and tell us how it goes.

Dear Comer.

I can't believe this thread is real.

Your best bet for survival is to you pack up your computer and give it to a charity as soon as possible.

[Edited for obvious reasons. Apollo 12002, please, no more posts like this. Kramer]

Very nice of you to come to this thread and spout random abuse. Must do it more often. Keep on reading! :D

[Chox1988]

Sweet friggin jesus. It took me till the third page to realise you actually filled the case water it was that shocking and unbelievable. Cling film lol. I'm crying out of laughter.

Comer,

Its obvious that water is conductive. Wet water is anyway !

What u should have done is melted down some DRY ICE and used that DRY WATER then u wouldnt have had any problem.

PS: Its colder than wet water too, so you dont actually need the flow through method.

This is the problem with these forums everyone has an idea but not everyone is right....its really hard to pick them apart. Especially for a newbie!

From a chemical point of view, it's not obvious at all that water is conductive. In fact, pure H2O is not conductive. It's the impurities in the water that make it conductive.

1) Keyword here is "actually"
2) Cling wrap is your friend

I suggest you both keep reading

Good Morning Everyone!

Just thought I would make my grand entrance and post here first.

I just read every single post here and re-read Comer's initial post but still can't believe that he did such a thing to his computer . Granted, it was a terrible mistake (if he isn't yanking everyone's chain) that never should have happened if proper in-depth research had been carried out.

I do believe that his system is completely borked which he will need to replace.

You read every single post and you're still not entirely convinced that Comer is a complete moron for ruining a top-of-the-line machine by filling it with water? That must make me a genius for burning down my neighbourhood cos I misinterpreted what "central heating" was all about.

[matisamd]

ok got to like page 3 before i had enough, i am sorry you blew your PC up, but i am gob smacked that A someone actually told you that form of water cooling was safe! and that you just did it without looking into it better OMG and for your mistake i am linkin this thread to all the other forums i frequent as tyhe biggest *** moment of the month!

You can water cool like that but water must be completely free of impurities and must be completely hermedically sealed with an in and out loet pipe, but i think you'd have to be a tad insane to want to fill your case with water !

Normal watercooling with pipes n all that is WaterCooling and its still an extreme cooling and still shouldnt be done by anyone unsure and there are many rules of thumb to follow.

And a system like that i could have made virtually silent very easily on AIR!

If this wasnt a joke a thread then really you need never to touch the inside of a PC again.

I feel bad for you as you seem completely broke and if this was real then after the initial "you wolly" i'd have to say you poor poor man if i new you i'd chuck you an old mobo and a spare xp2400.

Theres only 1 thing you can do let it all dry out completely and hope!

but Damn dude You filled your entire case with water ? DAMN!

I was just trying to be polite about it!

You on the other hand, all I have to say is, 'Play with fire, expect to get burned!'

That might explain what happened to my arm when I put it in the oven the other day.

Why stop at page 3? There are heaps of great tips on this thread
