Full Immersion Cooling

Great Forum
I just joined about 20 minutes ago

I was just wondering if anyone has tried entirely immersing the MB in non-conductive fluid? Still using WB on major components (CPU, NB, GPU) and then venting to the resevior (which the MB is immersed in). Performance Fluid PF-5050 by 3M is supposed to be completely non-conductive. Also very heavy and expensive...

I believe there was an article on liquidninjas.com in which they just put the mobo and everything into a "tub" and poured in some oil ... it worked rather nicely

some people used baby oil, I believe ... which worked out fine for them

Ramil Tranquilino is the first Im aware of in the enthusiast field
using Fluorinert with LN2 back in June of 2000 (there where later experiments)

of course Cray was pumping around and immersion and spray cooling almost from the beginning

thing about Fluorinert though is its not easy to seal against
for instance the Cray's employed welded stainless steel plumbing and "canned" pumps, its unlikely anything merely "water tight" will be Fluorinert tight
