Isn't there any liquid we could immerse the electronic in for cooling? I'm sure this must exist in high density industrial applications.

- quwert95 8y agoYes! Mineral oil cooled PCs in aquariums have long been a thing-to-do (but it's very messy).
- danlan 8y ago3M make a non conductive solution for exactly this application. I remember reading about an overclocking rig using something like it pumped through a radiator submerged in liquid nitrogen. Was pretty cool but the solution ended up turning into a gel at low temps https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/novec-us/applications/immersion-cooling/ https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/novec-us/applications/immersion-...
- Ratiofarmings 8y agoThere are several. But the liquid will heat up and eventually require cooling again. Pumping it somewhere generates noise. Evaporating it creates costs and need to frequent maintenance. And a large enough tank for that not to be an issue is impractical.
