Why computers need cooling
• Greater conductivity at low temperatures
• Avoid critical failure
• Overheating= over stressing components
![Page 3: Stick computers in oil Spring 2009 Engr 45 By, Sergy Pretetsky & Jeff Hitchcock.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f73/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Common Computer cooling
• Air cooled heatsinks
• Water cooling
• Peltier cooling
• Phase change cooling
• Liquid nitrogen & Dry ice and acetone

Thermal properties(water vs. air)
• Volumetric Heat capacity (Jcm-3K-1)– Water - 4.186– Air - 0.001297
• Thermal conductivity (W/(m·K))– Water - 0.6– Air - 0.025
• Heat Transfer Coefficients– Water – 500-10,000 W/(m2K) – Air – 10-100 W/(m2K)

Thermal properties(water vs. oil)
• Volumetric Heat capacity (Jcm-3K-1)– Water - 4.186– Oil - ~2 (FAR more than air)
• Thermal conductivity (W/(m·K))– Water - 0.6– Oil - .15 (60 times more than air)
• Heat Transfer Coefficients– Water – 500-10,000 W/(m2K) – Oil – ?

The Overclocking test

Thermal paste test
![Page 11: Stick computers in oil Spring 2009 Engr 45 By, Sergy Pretetsky & Jeff Hitchcock.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f73/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ResultsLong term test
• Processing remained the same
• Problems– Plastics– Heat retention in oil
![Page 12: Stick computers in oil Spring 2009 Engr 45 By, Sergy Pretetsky & Jeff Hitchcock.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f73/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ResultsOverclocking Test
• With oil– no additional performance
• Old computer– possibly maxed out components– If we had new computer, could have pushed it further

ResultsThermal Paste test
• Out of 3 popular thermal pastes– 1 was dissolved away– 2 were unaffected
• @ RT– Possibly more degrading at running temps

Conclusion• With an old computer
– Didn’t help boost performance• Didn’t cause failure
What to do next time• Use a radiator to cool the oil• Keep power supply separate
