    Nice, was going to upgrade my GTX 1050 but it seems the old boy still has some life left in him. Will any copper waterpipes work?

    Apparently, but he also cooled them with ice water from a Jerry can, so it’s not exactly a “ready to go” solution.

    This is really just a DIY water cooled system with DIY water blocks.

        Not ready to go out? No…not at all…

        Financially accessible for most people? Absolutely.

            For some reason, I’m reminded of using mineral oil for computer cooling. As in, you just leave the entire thing submerged in mineral oil

              I did some robotic submarine stuff in college. One of the techniques for waterproofing was put the electronics in a open at the top box and fill it with oil that was heavier than water. Messy but it worked.

                That’s absolutely genius. It’s like something out of troll science. “We soak it in heavier liquid to keep liquid out”. I’m a little awestruck.

                It’d probably stand up to pressure when deeper under water better than most other options too.

                  You’d still want induced flow for better heat transfer though

                    Yeah you didn’t have a risk of pressure popping the seal and flooding the electronics. Also if there was a leak in the box you knew about it before you put it in the water.

                      On a related note I wish we had a c/madlads around these parts.

                        There was as scene in Halt and Catch Fire with this technique. If I recall they where testing the hardware or software for a new 16MH CPU but it had not arrived yet so they overclocked a 8MH instead in the meanwhile.
