We cool a computer by submerging it in mineral oil. In an aquarium, it looks great!

Mineral oil cooled PC's are probably the reason one study redox? reactions in high school...

Ummm..... I learned ...
Ummm..... I learned about conductivity and free electrons in High School before some YouTubers were even born...... and parts of the explanation I learned from my cousin... he has a? PhD in Physics and works as a researcher at Harvard. He went to Cal for grad school and went to Cornell for college.

Water is conductive ...
Water is conductive. Because of this, electronic components will short out when submerged. Distilled water will become quickly ionized and short out electronic components as well. However. mineral oil is non conductive, will not ionize and won't short out. Mineral oil does not have free electrons in order to become conductive. Do I need to throw you? all back into high school and make you retake your Physics course?

so how hard? is it to upgrade component ?

Some of you are ...
Some of you are complete morons. Really. If you have access to the internet, you could easily do a Google search and find out why mineral oil works for this: it's inert. This has been used for decades. Please stop posting, asking how this PC can be submerged in *WATER* and not short out, you make yourself look like a fool who didn't pay attention to anything shown clearly to you in? the vid.

I did more reading and it says you are actually supposed to take the fans out of the power supply and heat sinks of video cards and CPU? fans.

Because, taking a ...
Because, taking a fan out of a Power Supply is DANGEROUS, more dangerous than what they did here with it. Because water isn't always pure. It usually has a percentage of? iron or another mineral in it. The Heatsink for the CPU probably came with a fan aswell. They most likely didn't want to try remove it.

water and anything ...
water and anything conducts? electricity just not as well as each other

Pure? water doesn't ...
Pure? water doesn't conduct electricity. Mineral oil doesn't, either.

I don't understand? ...
I don't understand? How does? this work? Why doesn't the entire mother board just short out? What's the point of the massive fan if it's being slowed down(and the motor is being worn out) by thick oil. The fan is supposed to blow air, if you are submersing it in oil, no point in a fan. I still don't understand how it even functions in oil.

probably the most ...
probably the most expensive part is? ...... the oil :)

there is no need to ...
there is no need to clean it. this is not a normal system. how would dirt get in there to require a cleaning? use your head before s**t talking. the oil will not? require monthly changing either. it does harden the cabling, so if you decide to remove it from the aquarium and put it in a normal tower you will need new cables.

??, but sooner or later the oil must increase its temperature due to bad thermal conductivity? of aquarium.

Woah.?
Woah.?
