Over clcoking and cooling

Post by Steven »

Has anyone yet tried to submerge their motherboard in mineral oil? Seems like an idea as it is non-conductive and would disperse heat quickly.

This methods is used only as diagnostics solution for finding hot spots in electronic boards ..

Actualy now the use of spesial Xrays , is better in that ..

Do not mix the computers cooling with this methods .
