Vodka ocing

[dvdpiddy]

First off does vodka conduct electricity? Second does vodka conduct heat better than water. Third i'm asking cause i plan to use my sempron for an experiment.

 

[RichPLS]

Used distilled water and drink the vodka.

 

[sailer]

Vodka is made using potatoes, which do conduct electricity, and it probably conducts electricty very well itself. Besides that, alcohol boils at a significantly lower temperature then water, so it wouldn't conduct heat very well. As Rich wrote, drink the Vodka. No use wasting it on computer chips.

I'm not touching this one, rofl.

I've made my peace.

No, vodka wouldn't be any good... Goldschlager on the other hand...

Liquid cooling with vodka? It sounds like fun. My Russian girlfriend would love if I did that

If you drink all the vodka first, it'll do everything you're asking and much more!! :-D

For sure, I hope girls will be there after you got drunk :lol:

Hes too young for Vodka :lol:

Of course Goldschlager has the little gold sparkle flakes in it, which I assume would be detrimental to the flow and let alone tear up the water blocks.

But assumimg you could run it thrhough some kind of freezer where the temp would be around 0 F it would eb a better solution since vodka doesn't freeze.

Hes too young for Vodka :lol:

Your never too young!

 

[fainis]

no need for oc-ing...just drink that vodka ..and start a game after 5 minutes...your sistem will fly for sure.... 😀

 

[Finneus]

I knew someone who put the Vodka in a freezer and drank it straight but cold. Now if you were able to somehow refrigerate it while you ran it through at least it wouldn't freeze like water would.....Hmmmmm.

 

[dvdpiddy]

The how about rubbing alchohol?

Yes Vodka will conduct

Vodka will not freeze at 0 degrees pure water will. Unless you intend to put your water cooling system into a freezer I would stick with using water.

Vodka will have less capacity to absorb heat, and will rise in temperature much faster.

But on the good side, if you did add vodka you would never see bacterial or fungal growth in your water cooling system.

Thank you.

Ok guys same question but with rubbing alchohol will it conduct electricty and this time i plan to submerge my system in vodka or rubbing alchohol like i did with cooking oil 2 months(god i wish i had the pics).

Vodka freezes at a colder temperature than water, and also boils at a lower temperature than water. You could use this to your advantage if you set things up right. Freon boils at room temperature and is an excellent substance for moving heat around. You get your most significant cooling when the liquid boils (or evaporates). It takes more energy to move water from 99-101 degrees Celsius than it does to go from 59-61 degrees Celsius. That's because water boils at 100 and it's undergoing a transformation from liquid to gaseous phase. That takes a lot of energy to accomplish.

But based on your vague clues you're dropping, it sounds like you simply plan to submerge your Sempron in a big bucket of alcohol. This is the exact opposite of what THG did. They submerged the PC in a vat of oil. Oil boils at a much higher temperature than water. If you use vodka or any other type of alcohol, it will probably evaporate quickly unless sealed, then you lose the thermal benefits of evaporation.

This is all assuming vodka doesn't conduct electricity. I won't assume that. Go to Radio Shack and get a multitester. Test the conductivity of vodka and other alcohols. Also try adding a small amount of salt to the alcohol solution. Test that too. It's important. Here's why.

Most people think water conducts electricity. But that's not true. Pure water is a very very poor substance for conducting electricity. However, if you're in the water, it suddenly becomes a very good conductor. Why? Because the sweat on your skin has salt on it and the salt is enough to change the properties of the water. You will get electrocuted in the bathtub if the hair dryer falls in.

Let us assume that when you worked on the computer before, you left trace amounts of sweat (salt) on the computer parts. Let us further assume that the water component of the sweat has long since evaporated but the salt remains. If you add something that can use salt to become highly conductive, you will fry your components.

I'm not certain about electricity, i dont think alcohol conducts since it doesn't have any ions. Of course that assumes its 100%, which in general you can't really get that high. Highest i've seen is 98%. So you still have 2% that is not pure alcohol, which means it could have ions in it.

Another note, Rubbing alcohol is going to evaporate if not sealed properly, especially when your systems starts heating up. Not to mention the risks of your system catching on fire. :roll:

Did u ever look at a bacardi 151 bottle? it has a warning on it Highly Flamable.

 

[chuckshissle]

That's a pretty strong water cooling then. Vodka, throw that sh!t away and use Hennessey instead for some high class pc. Vodka is highly flammable so use a cheap French wine as a safe substitute.

Imagine if there's a leak and vodka pours to a close circuit and causes a spark, that would make a pc explode like napalm. :lol:

But from what I know, no one have done it and it would be interesting if you do it and share all the good info to us. 😀 That or you become famous in Darwin Award. 😀
