Mineral Oil Cooling goes Mainstream - Page 2

Did u guys look at the video on this thing??? U know it has almost a car rad on the other side with a huge pump looks like 1.5-2 tubing pulling warm fluid from the top then sends it back to the vital hot parts and into the main bay with cooled oil? Ontop of that warm oil will always seperate from the colder oil and it will always rise to the top so there for the pump pulls from the top and sends back to the bottom and hot spots. Thats what all the clear tubing is to the cpu and cards. Its not just a mobo in a tank of fluid.

I saw how it's setup and unless it has a monster of a pump I am guessing that the flow is too low in that system to sustain much of an overclock. The reason would be the cooling blocks themselves creating too much restriction.

From what i can tell it doesnt even look like an actual block more like a cup of some sort to house the cool fluid coming in.

As far as i know there are radiators for both the oil AND the waterblocks.

Those are not water blocks at all. The blocks are dome shaped sorta say to house the colder fluid. The colder oil coming from the rad blows over the chips and back into the main bay keeping a continous flow of colder fluid over the chips or hot spots "gpus, cpu, nb, sb". There is only one rad and its pretty large if you watch the video they have on the website its very interesting. Someone put alot of time and thought into this it even has x ring seals to help prevent leakage.

Doesnt that radiator serve all of the fluids, not just the colder fluid?

Yes, but what i meant by the colder fluid was its after its has passed through the rad and is returned. They made a custome pipe with a crap load of fittings returning the fluid to the hot spots!

They should add a hand dispenser from the reservoir for those late lonely nights at pornhub.com

lol good one

I would have rather seen a triple rad at the top exhausting for the blocks on the gpu and CPU and then that massive radiator for the rest of the oil.
