Mineral oil is the most common type for PC cooling. But it's super uncommon to do oil cooling in the first place. Most people who don't do air will do liquid loop cooling. Mineral oil PCs are pretty cool, but you run the risk of accidentally insulating, say, the inside of PCIe slots or DIMM slots, making it problematic to replace/upgrade hardware. You also have to make sure you keep it clean, or else it can become conductive overtime, like distilled water can become regular water when exposed to contaminants.

It's interesting the oil underperformed next to water in Nikola Tesla's book explains using boiled out linseed oil as a coolant for his homemade coils explaining that oxygen molecules is what created the Heat vibrating from the fluctuation of AC current and inductance. Is that theory true or just early experimentation into AC currents?

You forgot to mention, that Oils, especially once that are meant for electronics, have the tendency to break down certain plastics, also often used in computers. So while you can submerge your PC in it, you have to choose your components very carefully, so that the parts you submerge don't break

Hallo! kannst du etwas probieren? try same tests for novec and FM200 they are fire extinguishing products for electric/electronic applications such as data centers and main power distribution panel rooms and so on. Danke sehr!

The question is, if its even less electically transmitting than destilled water, should we use it for our water cooling solutions?
I mean, how good is it at cooling?
Probably good enough.

I always picture in my mind an elaborate mechanism where the oil will be cooled by the magic superconducting copper tubes while the oil is flowing through the computer parts etc.

I would love to see you build an 18650 pack (or a lipo) and submerge it into this oil and then short the terminals. that would make an interesting experiment!

Hey, I think the AC mains conducts a little current through the oil by parasitic capacitance between the two wires than by the oil resistance alone.
