Hello everyone, I need to think about the cooling system and I thought: what if I put a system engineer at all in transformer oil, or something like that? :)

Here are some quotes and links I found on the Internet and remembered from the subject of "electrical materials":
references:
http://www.markusleonhardt.de.nyud.net:8090/oelbilder.html-German comp in oil.
http://www.oilteco.ru/show.php?page=380- about aging, operation and regeneration of transformer oil.
http://www.thg.ru/howto/20060123/index.html- THG project, with the use of vegetable oil.
http://www.overclockers.ru/hardnews/30773.shtmlabout the mass production of such systemists.
http://www.overclockers.ru/lab/18964.shtmlabout how the oil was poured into the power supply unit (there is even a cooler spinning in it, but will it die from rotational resistance?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtufuXLvOok- video, similar to the project THG

notes from various forums and sources:
“It is enough to process all the metal parts of a computer that is immersed in a distillate with protective chemically neutral heat-conducting material, such as galvanizing the body ..â€
“Aging or deterioration of the insulating oil, usually associated with oxidation. When oxygen and water appear in the oil, the insulating oil oxidizes even under ideal conditions. â€
“With proper maintenance of the cooling and insulation systems, the age of operation of the insulation system can be increased from 40 to 60 years.â€
“Transformer oil can be completely restored (REGENERATION) and made as new.â€
“When heated, the oil expands, to compensate for the expansion it is necessary to create an expansion tankâ€
“And I also noticed that the plexiglass became very brute, it cracks when screwing the lid, although when assembling it a year ago, it pulled a lot harder, and all that could happen is the folding of the thread, and now pieces already fly offâ€


minuses:
-complicated maintenance / upgrade / repair
-to get a real transformer difficult

Who thinks about this? Comments, suggestions? :)
p.s. other types of cooling please do not offer :)


on the progress of work and so on will unsubscribehere: comments are free, write :)

I can’t say anything about the oil, but if I make a sealed case, then the radiator will have to hang out half the outside, otherwise the efficiency will tend to 0.

but if you make a geomitic case, then the radiator will have to be half out of place, otherwise the efficiency will tend to 0.

for sure! You can still blow it with one cooler at least

throw the case :) My computer worked like this (with guts), that is, the motherboard was torn from the case along with the mounting panel, connected to it all the modules (video, network, etc.) and put it on the cabinet, chopped it up with long loops (through adapters: Claudia, monitor and mouse) it is important to fix the cords (you suddenly pull and pull out a video card from a working computer, for example) so that when jerking they would not affect the position of the boards in the mother, I also threw the screws on the cabinet (there was a kondishin in the cabinet) stupidly did not have time to bask. The only thing you need to conduct the wires normally is that this case does not crash :) Well, the drawback is that if you need to insert the Compact there, I had to climb onto the cabinet :) :) (I put it on the cabinet because I wouldn’t drop it from the table and not wet it inadvertently (in in general, for security purposes, it was dry and comfortable for him :)) he didn’t take off the cooler, plus the cooler needed to be cleaned of dust ... I thought my mother generally screwed it to the wall with screws :) the truth is he didn’t get it :) In general, he I worked for more than half a year, maybe it would have worked even more, but I had to put in a box (in the case) for other reasons ...

In general, he worked for me for more than half a year, maybe he would have worked more but had to collect it s in the box (in housing) for other reasons ...

No, you do not need this (= I just want to be protected from dust and make no noise, and the condition is not at home (=
so only the INSULATING FLUID is interested

sistemnik in transformer oil

Especially good in the transformer oil or other liquid will feel the disks ... Given the fact that they have an interior, by definition, unpressurized :)



Rep: (1001)
Trance oil will do, I won’t say the brand, I don’t remember ... but it holds megawats, it’s a 12-volt comp for it! There is another ... What can any repair-upgrade and maintenance of this unit turn into, oil replacement and regeneration! IMHO It is not worth it .... For Ponte, for myself, for applied computer creativity - do photo and share it, but not to create a working machine ...
I have an old Athlone 64, the dog is warming up! even without a side cover cuts out after half an hour of good work! Now in the drawer ... A medium, (resourceful but not expensive) cooler, a good paste, then 2 quick and inexpensive coolers: one in the lid - blows on the cooler and one from the back, the cooler on the hard and the cooler on the front wall blowing. All that blows into the computer - takes air through the grid. Despite the large mesh cells - most of the dust accumulates on them, you just need to wipe them with a cloth every 2-3 days - this is no more than a minute ... and another handful of dust under the block at the blowing site ... That's it! The temperature is not more than 65 degrees at full load, and before that, even without a cover and with one rear cooler it was up to 85 degrees! By the way the noise ... that with one that with a bunch of coolers I have it SAME!



Rep: (582)
Can it be easier to vacuum it once every three months?



Rep: (151)
as I did, that would be cooling and quiet:

removed the side cover of the case.

Zalman's cooler is installed on a percent, with manual adjustment of the rotation speed. replaced thermal grease.

in BIOS, the settings of all coolers are loosened to a minimum.

put the usual 80 mm cooler for 50 rubles, it is directed to 4 railways, standing close.

installed RivaTuner and created a silent profile for the cooler - when not playing.

temperature of the probe (4 cores) ~ 35-44
hard - 35-40
vidyuhi - 50

The computer seems to be turned off.

Once in 3 months I take out the cooler from the bottom, I change the thermal paste and my radiator in the water. Vacuuming the housing as a whole. vacuuming themselves and nothing, dust settles on the bottom.

Well, it seems like the signposts will need to be brought out (=

konvas @ 3.6.09, 21:12*
What any repair-upgrade and maintenance of this unit, replacement and regeneration of oil!

I do not know the remot, I have once or twice the iron on my computer, but the upgrade, the fact of the matter is that I don’t need an upgrade at all (=
and what service?
but the recovery of oil, I understand it, you need to regenerate after the breakdown, but there is 12 V, there will be no breakdown (=
and the oil itself can live from 40 to 60 years


so far other types of cooling do not interest me .. I want to find out the possibility of creating a working machine in transformer oil ..

Then NO FLOW! The comp in the aquarium is cool ... Kstai remembered, even on the discovery in English, I looked like a TV set in the aquarium, I started ... I didn’t understand much, the language was even worse than I knew, but there the liquid was absolutely transparent, water!



Rep: (636)
I don’t quite understand why to shove your system into oil ... Is it not cheaper to buy a quiet new vidyuhi and buy a normal cooler? If only out of curiosity ...
Although if you set a goal - good luck, I wonder what happens :) Suddenly it will be cheap and effective :)

P.S. do not forget to weld the cart and / or handles, it will weigh

Rep: (823)
This is nonsense)) Conditionally old video, 1 GB of RAM and even not two cores - there is nothing to cool. A quiet cooler for a central processing unit, a good power supply is all that can be used, not very expensive, and without much headache.

Putting in a sealed box - the air heats up and comes .... to cool the air with something you need, that is, a heat exchanger. In short, the idea is complete nonsense.
A computer in a full aquarium - just do utter nonsense, the purpose of garbage - but the methods are a terrible perversion.

Water is expensive, I do not argue, so choose quiet fans.

This was the water: D only distilled. And it is impossible to fill in with something, not all parts are tight and there are a lot of mechanical contacts.



Rep: (636)
Vampire_X,
after all, hto something like 10 pieces offered a high end computer in oil. In addition to screws. Yes and an article is:http://www.thg.ru/howto/20060123/index.html

so not one mezh we will do so, this iron will undergo an experiment, so to speak, and next in turn are more powerful computers! (=

Shl you only one case will cost a pretty penny

heated dog! even without a side cover cuts down after half an hour of good work!

I will tell you a secret, with a lid, it is blown better: lol:

And sho we maya? Need to cool the desktop computer?

My computer (stuffing): nVidia GeForce 8600 GT; intel core 2 duo 2.33 Ghz; 2 Gb RAM; 1 Tb ROM, 500 Gb ROM, 60 Gb ROM.

Everything is perfectly cooled by the 4th coolers - 2 in the case and one per cent and BP. INSIDE TEMPERATURE + 22ABOUTwith. Sometimes it processes data for days and the temperature remains 22aboutWITH.

Conclusion: 4 coolers and everything is fine. This whole pile of metal eats around 1.5-2.2 A of the power grid.
