Thinktank Revision 2.0

I think we should just set up a still and make some 99.9% pure hootch. That way if it doesn't work, we can at least have a great party afterward with some slightly used but extremely chilled "White Lightning" lol.

Heheh......

I'm not sure about the kerosene/mineral spirits......while it would eliminate the conduction as an issue , it would never work as a final coolant , it'll freeze.Even gasoline would....as far as paraffins go something like n-Hexane or n-Heptane would work , but then there's the whole compatibility issue.

I think for the moment , I'll make some anhydrous Isopropanol and check it out.

I like the idea of drinking the liquid if it doesnt work next time..

[BrainEater]

Rawr !!!

I have done a successful repeat of the original experiment.I found the original mobo.....

Now I'm choked.

AMD k6 450 /512 Mb ram/voodoo 3000 , submerged in Iso (it's the same iso we used on fri ) :

Hmmm....

No board prep, simply dunk in?

I have a feeling it all goes down to the socket design, the pins being further apart from each other.

edit: and a whole lot less power, since the PSU molex is a 20-pin, and there is no secondary 12V 4-pin connector.

Either that charlie or a really great photoshop ;) Oh and thanks for the 2 points :)

I figured it wasn't my hardware to ruin so why not screw around eh.... fun stuff all round though. Great meeting some of the HWC staff. :)

I decided to shorten charlies name to 12v he can call me moron molex.

I see your not testing with the extended wire harness, could there be a voltage drop large enough that your 5v line is causing trouble?

did anyone get any measurements?

copper 14awg wire 5v @ 25amp and room temp is about 8% voltage drop.
and the 12v would only be about 3.5%

oh I was guessing the cable was about 3' ?

not sure it was standard wiring for the power... the 12v was i think... cant remember off hand. I suppose a guy could always underclock the cpu until its up and running. We'll find out soon enough Ross is gonna setup his moonshine factory and make pure iso.

[BrainEater]

Nope , no board prep....dropped it in ,added iso , turned it on.

The extension is 6 feet long...Voltages are fine according to bios , and well , it works fine through the long harness.......I installed windows using it.

WTF? Drop that sucker in the tank!!
