Project Amphitrite - A fully submerged, oil cooled enclousure

[EdZ]

Novec and Fluorinert (and other fluoroketone and fluorocarbon mixes) are really neat fluids for immersion cooling, but really really expensive to play around with. And many have some annoying high vapour pressures (though others with similar properties have low vapour pressures, gotta read them datasheets!) so need to be kept sealed or all your expensive fluid escapes.

The initial learning curve is the tough part. There's always more to learn, but once you get past the basics and can make material progress on the design instead of having to look up how to do stuff every 3 minutes, it gets easier.

Yep, I tried solidworks before but I found out that it is too hard to even get the basics :/ Spaceclaim is another story, this is my third day using it and I feel like I'm better in it than sketchup already

I really want to use Novec as well, then I will have a true silent pc! But sadly it is crazy expensive and the fact that you have to add more Novec to your tank every now and then just make it impossible for customer use

That's what I found too, I could quickly translate my SketchUp workflow into SpaceClaim and start making cool things instead of banging my head on the desk over dealing with a parametric modeler like SolidWorks. You still using SketchUp @Necere?

It is a good thing that I'm still a student 49.95$ annually.. I say its worth it!

Actually, I talked with Gigabyte about this exhibit at the show. Their set-up was completely open at the top and relied on the buoyancy of the fluid to condense on a radiator at the top of the tank.

Looking good..

Are you using something for the screenshots or is that straight out of SpaceClaim?

I'm using KeyShot there is a tab on the menu that lead you to download.

 

[jeshikat]

Ah, yet another thing that's wonderfully cheap for students but $1000+ otherwise

Really? I thought that's free... I just download it and use it without having to activate or something... maybe it's included in my license?

 

[jeshikat]

Possibly, or it's just the trial.

Complete with tubing! looking goood!

Are you sure it's safe/good to put your PSU under fluid?

Yes, I'm sure it is safe to put a PSU under mineral oil it is non-conductive.

 

[HeroXLazer]

Yes, I'm sure it is safe to put a PSU under mineral oil it is non-conductive.

Agreed. If Linus does it, just do the same thing as him.





P.S. I was kidding, never, ever, ever follow Linus' steps. Even he says, "Do as I say, not as I do."

Yeah I am. I tried a bunch of different CAD programs a while back, but every single one had something I didn't like about it. Sketchup is second nature for me at this point and I can bang out ideas quickly, and I have a big library of parts built up. It's got its own quirks, of course, but I'm used to them and can work around them pretty efficiently. At the end of the day, it mostly does what I need it to do, and there's not a real compelling reason for me to switch away from it.

Hey Necere!
Do you know wher can I get those internal power extension cable you are using in you NCase M1? I can't find any on the market...

You can order one from our site. If you want to order them in bulk, @wahaha360 can arrange that as well. But use the contact email on the website for that.

I can understand that, I still occasionally catch myself trying to use SketchUp shortcuts in SpaceClaim and get confused why it's not working.

And SpaceClaim has native import/export of .SU files so if you ever need anything converted just let me know.

How are you going to seal the PSU cutout in the side wall? Are you going to flip it and route to a port up top?
