If you wish to go out of the ordinary, mercury would be the way to go. Mineral oil has five time less thermal conductance than heat.
Hrmmm, mercury....

Yeh, but you would need a huge reservoir due to its massive expanding from heat. If you were going subzero when you turned off your phase unit (if you were to do so) you have like 20 times the mercury.

Edit: On that wiki it shows graphine with a huge conductance. Why don't we see any IC Graphine?

Thread Starter 
thanks for your input guys

like i said it was just a thought that would not work as well as i thought
would be interesting to see what could be used

as some one said mercury would be cool would have to use just enough to fill
the loop then have a res that could accommodate the 2-3x expansion of it

Yeah good luck with mercury. You'll die before you get your first results. Water would be the best option and he made out of graphene.

This is a terrible idea.

Water is used because water has superb volumetric heat capacity. The amount of heat water can move is vastly higher than that of oil, or even liquid metals.

Oil is only used in submersion cooling because you need something non-conductive and there are usually dozens of gallons of the stuff.

Mercury has better thermal conductivity than water, but conductivity is no where near as important as heat capacity.

people use to use oil in loops, warning, its gunky, and it makes the tubes REALLY stiff

Using correct materials for tubing would stop the gunking. This is the oil breaking down the tube. Gasoline rated rubber tube will not gunk oil. Even some SI hose is oil rated.

As for oil\heat conductivity, use transformer oil. This oil is designed for this. But still not at waters ratings for heat.

Simply build a a better pump, a diesel tractor engine fuel pump is rated up-to 4psi typically. Can move about 1/2 gallon a minute. Which is better then most peoples computer water pumps.

Thermal Conductivity
(W/m K)
Transformer oil 0.110
Propylene glycol 0.147
Ammonia, saturated 0.507
Water, Fresh 0.609

Based on the viscosity numbers this would be worth looking at, little easier on the pump. Had to replace a heater hose at -20+ F and the 50% P. glycol coolant was moving more on the lines 90w gear lube.
