It is interesting to note, though, that the toxicity issues have been discussed on this forum and dismissed during the past two weeks. It appears that we need to do more research into safety before we start doling out advice. When dealing with a hobbyist application such as this, toxicity is something to be avoided AT ALL COSTS unless it is an absolute necessity (such as the refrigerants in phase change systems, and those require an amount of expertise to even consider). A small gain in somebody's system isn't worth their life. We need to think the situation through before we start suggesting to Mr. Newbie that he dump nerve toxin into his computer to get a few degrees cooler. While many of us take the necessary precautions to prevent poisoning with the additives we use, not everyone has that experience. That is why Ethanol was suggested before. Even in its denatured form (3-5% methanol) there is some toxicity worries, but they are extremely low, and is relatively safe for a newbie to handle if he WEARS RUBBER GLOVES. Even with the gloves, though, I wouldn't recommend methanol to ANYBODY except people that have extreme experience since it can be absorbed through the skin quite readily.
We need to be more careful, guys.
