Considering the problems I'm having with heat in my pc, I went searching for ideas...............

Clearly, there has been pc modders out there with a little toooooo much time on their hands.

Indeed, a lot of time. I'm surprised they just started trying this, though. Electrical transformers have been using an oil like substance for a really long time. It would suck if you had to work on the computer hardware, though.

Cooking oil...hmm now thats a smart Idea..
Ive heard about water cooled ones ebfore..but those are major pains if you get a leak ...
This solves that prob... Though it sorta does become a fire hazard.....Looks cool though........

There's some pcs out there that is made with mineral oil, motor oil, sunseed oil, and other oils that are clear enough to see the motherboard and board components.

Can you imagine trying to pull a card/ram after it's been immersed in oil!!!

I bet the fans get gummed up in the cooking oil after a bit. Also they probably pull more power from the PSU since there not designed to circulate oil.

In the final working design, there are no fans at all. The idea uses convection currents to bring "cooler" oil down towards the motherboard and works the warmer oil upwards.
