I did some research with Novec back in high school, really interesting stuff. It was a hassle to get my hands on, but after going through a chemical supplier that actually flew out a staff chemist to ensure my high school had proper facilities to handle the vapors from Novec I purchased 1 gallon haha. Here's a video summary of my project, essentially just comparing efficiency differences between immersion cooling and air cooling with server hardware. https://vimeo.com/37127378 https://vimeo.com/37127378 (Yes, I know the "efficiency savings" numbers at the end are incorrect) One of the coolest attributes of Novec 7000 (now outdated haha) is that it's viscosity is so low near it's boiling point that it can actually slip through teflon gaskets and even dissolve thermal paste between a CPU and heatsink. Not sure if Zack Glander is still running Vapor Phaze, but back in 2011 his startup was one of the only private companies I knew of developing hardware to use this cooling tech at scale. He had some cool demos at CES for a few years.
