At the time it was made ​​with an Xbox, and now Intel is testing servers. Without doubt this is one of the strangest methods may have to cool a computer : immerse the equipment in mineral oil.
Exactly, for many months, Intel has been dipping its modern equipment technology in boxes filled with mineral oil. These boxes were created by Green Revolution Cooling in Texas and is expected to help revolutionize the methods used for cooling equipment in the future.
What reasons can lead to implement this system? For starters, it is as effective as the fan system that has been used for many years but spends far less energy. Besides this, cheap, and can be mounted anywhere and is used for both computers and server giant. If asked, oil will not cause any damage to the equipment, and only has one disadvantage: it is not the sexiest thing in the world, right?
Well, actually has another disadvantage, and is to be changed every ten years ...! No doubt that this is a method that should be widely used.
