if you filtered out every single mineral in water and then just stuck the whole comp in the completely filtered water you would have pretty efficient cooling system if it is a large tub and you put ice under it


or you could just use fans

:/

Sticking it in non-mineral water would be MORE conductive than mineral water and therefore would short out the computer faster than it already would.

Also, I was just saying to use fans.....

I say just dunk the entire thing in a huge tank of Liquid Nitrogen and call it cold enough.

not true
the minerals in water are what stop the curcuits, therefore if you took out all the minerals it would make it cold. if its cold water. if you put a current in distilled water and salt water the current will only flow through the salt water. i did and experiment is science with that

Well duh since Hydrogen and oxygen (only the gas oxygen is conductive) are not conductive from my knowledge.

This is correct. Ever seen that Rotor durability video, where they talk about how awesome the Rotor is because you can stick it in water? Yep, that was distilled water. Try it with normal water, and that thing would fry in seconds. It is a good reason why i dont believe a word that ever comes out of Billy Wing's mouth.

To what extent does distilled water ionize, and what causes it to do so? I was wondering about the possibility of running an electrical system like a PC under pure distilled water. Is this feasible?

Hi, Edward. Yes you can run electrical devices submerged in very very pure water. But distilled water may not be pure enough. And as soon as you put the PC in the water, salts from soldering fluxes and other sources will start contaminating the water. You probably would need to recirculate the water through a very capable deionization system such as is used to generate ultra pure water for semiconductor fabrication to remove that salt, catching all the salts that start dissolving from the PC so you can keep the water pure enough to not conduct. This is the theory, but it's probably a dangerous and impractical experiment for a student.
