Ok, you know a lot about air cooling...
You have heard about water cooling, read some facts and some of you may even have a water pump cooling silently their PC as they read this. But hear this ! THG Labs in Munich, Germany used cooking oil to cool their benchmark PC ! True, they even submerged the PC while running a benchmark test into oil making this not only a silent and eccentric cooling solution but a nice modding project, a unique one in fact ! QUOTE(http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/01/09/strip_out_the_fans/) Common sense dictates that submerging your high-end PC in cooking oil is not a good idea. But, of course, engineering feats and science breakthroughs were made possible by those who dared to explore the realms of the non-conventional. Members of the Munich-based THG lab are only too happy to confirm this fact. And not only did we find that our AMD Athlon FX-55 and GeForce 6800 Ultra equipped system didn't short out when we filled the sealed shut PC case with cooking oil - but the non-conductive properties of the liquid coupled created a totally cool and quiet high-end PC, devoid of the noise pollution of fans. The PC case - or should we say tank - also offered a new and novel way to display and show off your PC components.
