Exactly - get a bigger tank and combine your PC with your oil-cooled welderJust like a transformer then?

Like this?I read about another data center where the back doors to the server cabinets were actually large water cooled radiators... so as hot air was expelled through the door from the servers it was cooled
This is what you need - mineral-oil cooling (mineral oil is non-conductive, so the entire motherboard and components are dropped into the oil)

You'd have to get all contaminants off every part too.You can do that with water as long as it's pure.

Or flip it around. How much heat can a pc generate. Enough to warm a freezer full of -degrees oil?How much power can a domestic freezer dissipate? I'd have though it would struggle to keep up with the kind of PC you'd want to cool like that.
The comms room at my last place required ear defenders to be worn when working in there.

Yep, you're right, it would take about 5 or 6 hours for a cpu with a 100 watt tdp to get 8 gallons of oil from negative 30 to 30 degrees.Or flip it around. How much heat can a pc generate. Enough to warm a freezer full of -degrees oil?
Never got the appeal of water Cooling tbh.
A decent cooler and plenty of airflow always returned sterling results on my over clocked rigs.
We did that with what we could. It was the GPU servers that were deafening.Ours used to, but we consolidated 60+ physical servers onto 8 VMware hosts.
