Dust + mineral water = now conductive.

Very Interesting indeed.
__________________However, I think it would be very impractical to do this, it'd be a right pain in the arse everytime you wanted to switch parts, or fiddle with existing parts. Mineral Oil all over the place... Also - Would it really be THAT useful? I mean, there is no flow, so eventually the oil would become warm, and end up being inefficient in cooling. Whereas at least with water cooling, It flows around and is close to the cool edges on the piping, where It can cool quicker than the oil can in the middle of that tank. It would be interesting to experiment in some ways to cool the exterior of the tank there, to keep the oil cool. Or even create some sort of flow, where the oil would travel around, passing through some cooling unit. EDIT: That tomshardware article was ****... Not one temp measurment! I thought that was the whole point hehe.

hotter oil rises to the top and get cools. Problem solved.

How about running water THROUGH the system with heat exchange pipes....It could help cool the oil itself.....but I guess if you have the money to make a water setup to cool the oil, why not make a WC system?

If anything you will have to underclock your CPU for it to function effectively. Oil cooling cools worse than air cooling. Once you even consider getting something like a pump to move the oil, it is time to move to water cooling, or at least air cooling.

In that video of the mineral oil, they say that it took a lot of heat for the temperatures to start rising, but when cooling the mineral oil back down, the experimenters said that it also took a long time as well.
__________________So makes me think that mineral oil has a high specific heat...good for absorbing heat...but after it absorbs it, it's got no where to go fast.
