I thought my chillers were nutty
 
This dude is using a standard water cooling set up. Loop is filled with str8 acetone.
Puts the radiator in a cooler with some acetone an dumps about 10lbs of Dice in the cooler :shock:. Crazyness, I dont know if statice electricity would ignite the acetone but dam.

Ya know in my last session I ended up somehow getting acetone all over the socket and even in it. No fire, no damage, no nothing other than random reboots until I noticed the problem. Maybe the acetone isn't as flamable at low temps???

Just like gasoline, liquid acetone is not flammable...but the vapors are explosive. At low temps it is probably not really that big of a risk. Just don't let any leak out onto something hot and then meet a spark.

On the other hand I don't think I'd use it without a good fire extinguisher CLOSE BY.

Only an addict would risk life, limb, and house. Way to go Chuch!

I do what I can buddy. I can soley blame 110% of this on you, Supes, and drnip. Without you I'd just be happy with a stock little system, and never even think about entering BIOS.

But now thanks to you three jackfruits, when I drive down the road or getting ready to fall asleep, I think about settings I should try on my next session :blush:
