| 287960 | 2004-11-07 08:06:00 | gf.......I remember transformer oil very well. Did a lot of big transformer filtering "on the run" whilst they were working. Also taking some apart in maintenance weeks for inside cleaning, washing, painting, re-filling & testing. A dirty smelly job. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 287961 | 2004-11-07 08:35:00 | this is probley the most stupidest question but wouldnt it short out because there is liquid touching the components? like i couldnt put a cup of oil on my pc right now, im sure that it will short out and blow..... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 287962 | 2004-11-07 08:38:00 | >The oill provides insulation (it is not a conductor of electricity when pure) That answers your question, although I wouldn't try it. :D |

| 287963 | 2004-11-07 08:47:00 | Yes the oil is an insulator, also the coolant via the transformer fins(External pipes) when pure there no likelyhood of an explosion or electrical short inside the transformer. WE would draw off samples to be sent to an independent lab for testing. It was upon their recommendation as to when a trasns, was to be either filtered of the oil replaced. These were 11000 to 400 volt units. Also used the same oil in 11000 & 3300 volt switching gear. Believe me, one was extremely careful working with these higher voltages. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 287964 | 2004-11-07 08:50:00 | I like the idea - But dont have any hardware Im willing to sacrifice to the cause - Although the idea of using it to assist with overclocking does sound an interesting one to say the least :-) Anybody got an old box they're willing to try it with? What about a hundred bucks worth of Extra-virgin Olive Oil to donate to me? Chill. |

| 287965 | 2004-11-07 08:55:00 | what are the chances of having pure oil with absolute no water?? the chances are slim, like condensation=water | Prescott (11) | ||
| 287966 | 2004-11-07 09:17:00 | Oil and water don't mix.... Anyhow,if this was done properly in a much smaller case so that far less oil was required would it compare to watercoolong? The idea maybe worth following up. |
