I am planning on building a mineral oil cooled pc at some point, my plan was to immerse the pc but add a pump + radiator to circulate the oil outside the pc for additional cooling. The idea would be to exhaust the cooled oil back into the pc directly on to the hottest running parts.

Now that I would like to see. What kind of container/case do you have in mind? Plus what are you gonna do about plumbing? Just have an inlet and outlet whole on the case? Oh yeah, what kinda pump will you need to pump thick ass oil?

Did u guys look at the video on this thing??? U know it has almost a car rad on the other side with a huge pump looks like 1.5-2 tubing pulling warm fluid from the top then sends it back to the vital hot parts and into the main bay with cooled oil? Ontop of that warm oil will always seperate from the colder oil and it will always rise to the top so there for the pump pulls from the top and sends back to the bottom and hot spots. Thats what all the clear tubing is to the cpu and cards. Its not just a mobo in a tank of fluid.

I saw how it's setup and unless it has a monster of a pump I am guessing that the flow is too low in that system to sustain much of an overclock. The reason would be the cooling blocks themselves creating too much restriction.

From what i can tell it doesnt even look like an actual block more like a cup of some sort to house the cool fluid coming in.

Why not just replace the coolant in a water cooled rig with mineral oli? Wouldn't that solve both problems? Thing is, I don't know the temp exchange rates between water and mineral oil - may be better off keeping the water flowing ???
