Sorry everyone, lots of variables and not enough typing speed to explain my thoughts.
Basically....ambient or thereabouts oil temps are desired. So the pumping problems are not an issue. Condensation will not be an issue as I'll handle the temps as I have with my water chiller.
Mosfets do like cooler rather than 'toasty' temps.
If I seal the caps and they are then submerged...what type of temp rise should they see? and is it enough that I would have a mini bomb (because of the internal pressure) or will the oil bath keep them so cool that the expanding internal gases will not be an issue?
Does anyone know of a submerged system that has been running for months?
I plan on using an external pelt chiller to cool the oil and pump it into the 'tank'...similar to my present water system. I will have almost limitless options for directing the cool oil. I can use multiple hoses directed at specific hot areas, I can pump it into 'water' blocks on the cpu, gpu, nb etc and then let the heated oil exit into the pool of oil, yadaydayadaydayada.
