Oil Cooled Computer

[muchspl2]

check this out , I didn't do it but it blew my mine


this old pentium 1 mmx, that was running xp. It was pretty much useless except for downloading. So i thought id spice it up a little bit. So i decided i would oil-cool it and overclock it as much as possible. I have it @ 200 mhz up from 166, would be higher but my bios has no clock mulitplier, nor any way to change the voltage. And the 2 voodoo video cards are @ 109 mhz up from 90. here are a few pics.... ignore the not so great pic quality.

Is that board literally in contact with oil? :o

[muchspl2]

yes
oil isn't conductive like water

:lol:

Interesting...

[delphin460]

only problem there is oil isnt that good a conductor of heat, or the removal of heat lol

but its a nice trial lol

i once saw a guy who mod up a bar fridge and enclosed his box in it , man the whole thing ran at 4 deg c , and he o/c it till you almost could see the screen for artif/s, but it kept running

but man i give you this , 10 points for trying lol, its like the old heat exchange units aircraft used to use, you need some way to cycle the oil through a cooling system to dispense the built up heat

keep trying man you will get there lol

Wouldn't Windows 2000 be better suited for that?

yeah, wi woulda thought so too, i had a problem running xp on a 500mhz amdk6-2, with 256mb ram. so i switched to 2000 and no probs

infact, would xp even allow you to install on that machine. :huh:

[muchspl2]

it isn't mine, but I believe so
and he's not circulating the oil, its going to get hot,
I wonder if you could cook some corn dogs or funnel cake :lol:
I just posted this cause I had never seen anything like it

[delphin460]

man you can install xp on a 486 if its got enought ram , xp is a ram hog .

about twice as much as win 2000,

[kaiweiler]

Wow, good job muchspl2
I woulda thought the oil would have done some damage to the board, but apparantly not ;)
Good work

what about the fan on the cpu :blink:

i think the oil keeps it cool ;)

thats why he used it :P

edit: fan would still work, just about slower. It is used to move the fluid around :)

[kaiweiler]

Lol I see you added "I didn't do this"
You were gettin all the credit because of the "I did this" and "I did that" things in your original post
if you didn't do it, who's the guy that did?

[muchspl2]

yea I wasn't trying to take credit, it was posted on another forum
http://www.saskjbody.org/cgi-bin/sjc/ikonb...;act=ST;f=5;t=7 (http://www.saskjbody.org/cgi-bin/sjc/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=5;t=7)
he used corn oil and you're spoused to use mineral oil
no pumps or heat exchanges

[kaiweiler]

I wasn't trying to blame you for taking credit for it lol
I was just saying that people mistook it to be your own work, well i can't speak for anyone else, but I know i did
no blame put on you at all
:P

[Evil Gemini]

it would stay cool if he put the whole thing in the freezer :rolleyes:
