This is why things like ethylene glycol can be used just fine although it is less conductive. Since the waterblock->fluid->radiator transfer steps are not the rate limiting (radiator->air usually is the limiting step) the identity of thr coolant doesnt matter as long as it is reasonably not viscous and better than air. Air is cooling the radiators that has heat brought to it by the fluid+pump. The fluid is not what is actually cooling the system. Tge coolant identity makes limited to no impact on the dissipation of energy from the system. So it could be possible to use Vodka, but we have no basis for comparison.Īs same as the gallium cooling thread, same theory applies here.

Now that doesn't work for PC cooling because a few different reasons, but the main one is in the name.lmao Automobile type ANTI-FREEZE is designed for 1 purpose and 1 purpose only. In a sealed system, the boiling point is marginal, and he wouldn't have to worry about vapor unless he did have a leak somewhere. If he assures that all hose connections don't leak, and that the unit is properly bled of all air bubbles, therefore making it a sealed system. Your assumption of the boiling point being lower in alcohol than that of water is a valid point. This would lead to increased pressure as the liquid turns to vapor.īest thing would be water (100C) and a solute that will raise the boiling point sufficiently through colligative properties, such as what's done with antifreeze, or by utilizing another liquid's boiling point, significantly harder. The boiling point of alcohols are going to be much lower than what your PC would output.
that is yet to be determined, but would make for a very good high school science project.lol yes you can use Vodka as the coolant in your system, if you plan on running hard plastic lines. If we were worried about the alcohol breaking down a hard plastic, then we wouldn't store it in plastic bottles at Liquor stores, bars, hotels, or airplane I agree that eventually the hose will get dried out and brittle from the alcohol in the Vodka, but with a hard plastic tube, that should last a very long while. Now as for the longevity of using Vodka in a flexible line. Vodka wouldn't spoil because of 1 major reason. The first would be that the alcohol content isn't high enough to keep the fluid sterile, the other reason is due to the barley. Those spoil and can really fuck up things once they start spoiling, water doesn't usually spoil and, while it can fuck up things if you don't catch it, can be worked with easier. There's usually a reason why water with the proper coolant shit is used rather than alcohol like beer and vodka. Speakers: Logitech - Z506 155W 5.1ch Speakers
