well, the fans would work as circulation pumps, so that at least is taken
care of, but then numbers come into play.



I didn't read the text but is there any mention of the fans
running or is this presumed? The parts should not need any
fans while immersed in that much oil, providing there is a
reasonable ambient (room) temp. They just don't produce
much heat relative to the surface area of the entire
(aquarium?).

My German is not that good any more (not that it ever was if you
were to ask my teacher) but there are online translation facilities
available that might help out. My biggest question is "why would
anyone bother to use oil cooling with a 550 Celeron?". It isn't as
though it is ever going to run hot enough to need it. If he was
dealing with a massively overclocked P4 it might make some slight
sense to me (in German or not).


Maybe the site is old?

I think he was smoking that bong in the background.

Exactly. As a New Zealander I am very familiar with the quote, when Sir
Edmund Hillary was asked the rather inane question by a journalist "Why did
you climb Mount Everest?" Hillary replied: "Because it was there".

it must have worked. If it were easily done then it'd be a great idea
since it's noiseless. This is so important nowadays
Unfortunately, as this thread shows, there is not enough information
given about how to do it yourself. At least not enough info in
english

but there are plenty of english sites, since it's not exactly a 'new'
thing.
