While silicone oils have excellent material compatibility it actually has a fairly low heat density when compared to other coolants that are available for use in cooling bit mining rigs.
Engineered Fluids BitCool BC-888 is a biodegradable, non-toxic, non-corrosive dielectric coolant with a heat density of over 1600x that of air that was specifically designed for use with ASIC based mining devices. It is significantly cheaper than Novec and available to anyone that wishes to purchase it in quantities from 20L to over 200K liters.
The best part about using BitCool is that its safe for you and safe for the environment. Silicone oils never breakdown and are very difficult to clean up once they applied to a device. Engineered Fluids also has a special dielectric cleaning solvent designed specifically to remove BitCool and allow you to transfer the device back to air cooled applications.
For those of you that are interested in Single Phase, Liquid Immersion Cooling but don't understand the architecture, Engineered Fluids will send you a document with information on how to build a system, and what materials to use.
Just something to check out if you are seriously considering immersion cooling.
Looking at your website you guys are in Tyler, I am in Ft. Worth. Do you also mine? If so I'd be interested to see this fluid in action.
