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 !

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.
