Is mineral oil cooling for a PC a legitimate option?

i already now i dont want fans or water-cooling, cryo is to expensive an i'd rather not buy a tower (fish tanks are cheaper) i want to know if there are any long term effects and what is the best brand of mineral oil for this. Also planing on doing some CRAZY high overclocking cpu/gpu (i've dumped all the $$$$ i want to dump in this thing lol!)





specs


i7 3.33ghz


ASRock X58 Deluxe


OCZ Gold 6GB ddr3


GeForce GTX 295 1792MB


ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3 Deluxe 7.1 Channels


Patriot Torqx 256gb ssd


hec Cougar 1000 1000W


ZALMAN CNPS9900LED 120mm 2 Ball CPU Coole (heatsink)





i know all moving parts need to outside the oil that's why i didn't list them (hard drive, blu-ray drive, ect.)Is mineral oil cooling for a PC a legitimate option?
Over one year still running strong.

Go for it and good luck!!!





You should be able to overclock that beast easily...but that CPU cooler is mainstream level...For enthusiast level I suggest you get a high end cooler for the i7 975 and slap some LED fans in push/pull instead.


I included two links to the best coolers out there.
i would think that the oil would heat up and stay warm unless you had a huge reservoir tank and it had time to cool off, i dunno tho this is the first ive ever heard of it but think about it, oil will stay warm, where if you used a anti-freeze mix its not as thick and would cool down faster
