i'm working on oil immersion cooling, remove the fans n stickers then dip the whole s7 into oil bath. use a car radiator for cooling the oil, pumps to circulate the oil in tank.
have to "cheat" the fans. s7 needs to "see/detect" 2 fans or else it won't mine. not difficult to "cheat" it.
coming soon heh . . .
Why not just leave the fan on and spinning? They'd move the oil through the s7, but spin much slower. Since the motor would be perpetually oiled, i dont think it would damage them?
They are meant for 4000+RPM operation in open air. Oil is too viscous, they would burn out trying to move that much liquid and probably melt some stuff.
Ah. There was that tube where they would build Mineral Oil rigs. They said fans don't burn out even though they can't spin fast at all, because to burn out, there would need to be excessive friction.
Since the motor in fan is just current being run around the fan pole to make it spin, there's no actual strain on the parts. They say however the fans don't actually make any difference in cooling performance, they just looks cool. Until you take them out, then they remain pretty much forever sticky, but however still work normally afterward.
I don't know if those(deltas) fan Specifically would not work under mineral oil, but in that case;
Cheap low performance PMW 120mm case fans definitively do. I dont know if the firmware would accept those readings however? Might be 2x4$ bucks fix, if the firmware just look for a signal.
