Overclock your PC with Cooking Oil

Feel free to try this at home.

Common sense dictates that submerging your high-end PC in cooking oil is not a good idea. But, of course, engineering feats and science breakthroughs were made possible by those who dared to explore the realms of the non-conventional. Members of the Munich-based THG lab are only too happy to confirm this fact. And not only did we find that our AMD Athlon FX-55 and GeForce 6800 Ultra equipped system didn’t short out when we filled the sealed shut PC case with cooking oil – but the non-conductive properties of the liquid coupled created a totally cool and quiet high-end PC, devoid of the noise pollution of fans. The PC case – or should we say tank – also offered a new and novel way to display and show off your PC components.

  1. LOL, I’d just read this too earlier. Quite drastic isn’t it :).

  2. That thing.. will be a real smoking hazard. Imagine a tiny bit of burning ash landing on your pc and sneaking in through the gaps, boom.
