HAMBURG - A German has been cooling his computer in salad oil for over a year. The great benefit: absolute silence.
The whirring of the air-cooled pc went on the man's nerves so bad, that he placed the entire machine in an aquarium containing 30 litres of oil. Only the hard disk isn't oil-cooled, German media reported on wednesday.
The experiment started as a beer-influenced bet. According to Markus Leonhardt, his computer is still working perfectly after more than a year. He lets the fans spin normally, which makes the oil circulate better.
Leonardt warns not to plache the aquarium at the same height as the keyboard and mouse. Otherwise, due to capillarity, the oil might leak through the cables to these parts.
On the internet, specialists are investigating the phenomenon. There is one big disadvantage though: after a while, the oil begins to smell.

Way back when 333MHz was the top-end, some guys built a liquid nitrogen intercooler and pumped flourinert through it in order to achieve ~660MHz on a Celeron meant for 333Mhz.
yeah that'll catch on.

This has been done with 3M Flourinert many times. That is, you use Flourinert instead of salad oil.

The Celeron 300A was noted for being able to OC to 500+ MHz out of the box with the uber pencil/graphite tracing technique. But yes, fluorinert has been used in mindless Celeron, PIII, PIV, etc. overclocking projects for a bit...
