Title: Need help to choose Mineral Oil for my KNC jupiter Cards Post by: Sakarias-Corporation on November 16, 2014, 01:33:14 AM Hello, i got some KNC Jupiter cards which i need cooling for. all my CPU fans we're to big to fit the cards so i thought i'd cool them down with some Mineral Oil and use Heatsinks. instead of CPU coolers.
does anyone know a good Oil i could get fast tomorrow ? i live in sweden if that help, maybe someone knows a supermarket or something that sells it ?

You still need a radiator to dump heat.

An aquarium pump or PC watercooling pump or something isnt going to do it. Also make sure it can stand the relatively high temps.
While you wont need fans (even if it doesnt hurt), you will need heatsinks on the chips, even if you submerge them. Mineral oil has a far too high boiling point (200-600C). Without heatsinks the chips will overheat in seconds. That said, a cheap source of mineral oil is horse laxative. Im not joking.

It leaks into capacitors and the like causing them to fail. It is also very messy and difficult to maintain. The oil will need replaced time to time as it does break down after a while. |
