Question ID: 258991
Hello,
  I have recently become interested in the realm of overclocking my
home PC. I recently upgraded my computer to a Pentium 4 2.8GHz 800MHz
FSB with Hyperthreading. I have an ABit Motherboard with the
capability to overclock the CPU and Bus from the BIOS Setup. Even at
the rated speed on this precessor, I am having some heat issues. The
CPU regularly reaches 65 degrees Celcius, and has peaked many times to
75 degrees during times of heavy processing. I have done some reading
on different methods of cooling, and I am very interested in the
possibility of Immersion cooling.
  I would like to know;

1. If there are any companies in existance that offer a prefabricated
soulution for immersion cooling
2. What would be required to build a system for immersion cooling, and
where can I aquire these items. (for example, type of Fluid,
enclosure, cooling apparatus, pumps, etc)
3. What are the advantages/disadvantages of cooling my computer this
way
4. The advantages/disadvantages of different types of fluid to be used
in this design
5. Any other advise you may have for other ways to keep my system cool
with minmal risk of damging my equipment

  I have done some research on my own and have located a possiably
suitable fluid from 3M called Flourinert

I currently live in Georgia which is the main reason for choosing an
entirely immersed system, because many of the other ideas I have read
about have serious problems with condensation when cooled near or
below 0 degress Celsuis.

If you feel you can answer my question, but require either more
information about my current system, or that the research required for
this information is worth more than the posting fee, please let me
know and I will either clarify my question, or re-post it with a
higher value.

Thank you for your time in answering my question, and I hope to hear
from you soon

Best regaurds,

Hi!!

I post it as a comment hoping that this helps you and also as a source
that a fellow researcher can use to give you a more complete answer:
"Build an Underwater Computer" from overclockers.com:
http://www.overclockers.com/tips1098/

"MISSION: SUBMERSIBLE Liquid Nitrogen Cooled Fluorinert ":
http://www.octools.com/index.cgi?caller=articles/submersion/submersion8.html

" Mission: Submersible 2 The Return" (a new attempt - more
successful):
http://www.octools.com/index.cgi?caller=articles/submersion2/submersion2.html

Want to see a video about the last page:
"Submersion 2: The Video":

Good luck!!
