Getting my computer drunk (Watercooling liquid?)
I was having a conversation with one of the guys at my work, And I started talking about my next box and How I want to watercool this next one ... He suggested that I looked into Alchohol as a cooling liquid instead of Water. Sounded like an Interesting Idea .. Has anyone tried this .. would it have any advantages/disadvantages?

i seriously doubt whether u would notice a difference between the two liquids, even tho. alchol will prob give you 1 or 2 degrees, is there any point in the expense or danger aspect??????
KABOOOOM springs to mind!!!!! |
Yeah, do it, you get to be the first awarded a Darwin award when you burn to death in your sleep because of a small leak.. With water, the liquid may short out the computer, but it's self extinguishing. With alcohol, it goes up like a funny car, invisible flames and all. :) Fun!

If i'm not mistaken, water has the best cooling properties, by far (along with mercury). You can use alcohol for its low freeze point, when you want to cool down things to -40°C or so. Yet many ppl use additives to water such as glycol or common antifreeze.

Don't take any risks with the water you use for for cooling projects, DI-water is pure H2O, so pure that it will not conduct electricity. The purity of the water also improves its transferring properties to the maximum potential.

[mod mode] Nah, we don't delete stuff here. This is a dead horse though (reminder to all, as AS put it); searching through these forums would have provided the answer.
A reminder though: - DI: De-Ionized water (clean, pure, expensive) - Distilled water; clean but not completely purified, cheap (and works well) - Tap; may cause calcium deposits. Moving on... |
