Some interesting ideas

latinoSIZZLE · 13-January-05, 01:51 AM

well actually only one idea. Would it be possible to liquid cool a rig using Mountain Dew instead of water?

$SOLID$ Necro · 13-January-05, 01:56 AM

Possible? yes

Practical?

It will most likely gunk everything up since it contains a lot of sugar. Like Necro said, possible yet not practicle.

Yes...for about 2 minutes!....

Oh and your best bet if you want that "mountain dew" coloring running through your tubes would be coolant from Napa it goes from light yellow to bright yellow and a UV-ish green depending on how many drops you put in. Find something in between and pretend its actual mountain dew lol.

Urine is the way to go....no carbonation problems and its sterile. May need to add a little green food coloring.

Yah - I heard Everclear is twice the coolant that water is.

Water... fish screw in it and crap in it... don't touch the stuff!

Yeah, but after a night of partying your rig is half empty or has orange juice or something in it as a mixer and is overheated... Besides, who wants a warm liquor dispenser, much better to fill a water cooler with it. Not that my watercooler's ever been half filled with vodka...

All that Dew moving around would do somethiung much like what happens when you shake a can of Dew up and try to open it.

The caffiene might give the PC some pep.

Well, you could remove the carbonation from it by letting it go flat for a while, but it would still totally screw your pump.

Try this, pour some dew on your arm and let it dry. Then feel your arm. Feel how sticky it is? Thats how your pump head is going to get, untill finally it goes south.

I don't even want to think about what the combo of heat and dew would do to your block.

Protip: A layer of gummy sugar on the inside of your block is NOT good for temps.
