then a comp filled with sapphire liquid...think of the cooling power. as long as theres something in there to keep the water cool....

We don't know it's thermal properties though, how well does it conduct/disspates heat?

Chemical Info

The boiling point for this liquid is at 49 C. With a good loop its concievable that youd never reach 49.... but thats too close for comfort.

Mark a big X on this "miracle cooling solution."

old news

summary : it's expensive

???? i thought it said it had al lthe properties of water except the wet part so shouldnt it boil at 100? sry i just heard about this...yes the news is dated april lol.

I found this website here that shows the sapphire liquid of having a boiling point of 212F, the same as water. And the best part yet,
"APPEARANCE/ODOR.............DARK BLUE CLEAR LIQUID; PLEASANT FLORAL SCENT." It smells good too and you won't have to worry about dust.

you know this thing is probably going to cause severe cancer in like 10 years

But what doesnt cause cancer these days?

anyone know the temp that causes it to thicken up and freeze?
drop a phase change evap in that green goop and hit -40C on the entire board...including the memory, mosfets, chipset, v-reg, CPU, GPU, etc. etc.

If you read from the First Aid Procedures section of the documents on that liquid, I don't think I would let the stuff anywhere near me. Anything that requires that much water to wash off after exposure is a no way! I don't care if they say it is safe. If handling instructions say: "PROCEDURES: WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (SEE SECTION VIII). CLEAN UP WITH ABSORBENT MATERIAL", and "CLOTHING/PROTECTIVE GLOVES: WEAR NEOPRENE OR OTHER CHEMICAL RESISTANT GLOVES." , Then you definately do not want it on you!.
One of the Components of this Sapphire Liquid is ALCOHOL ETHOXYLATE
for the most part is not a real big deal but in large enough volume, such as sapphire liquid you get this In other words they do not know what it will do yet.
-Edit-: forgot to include the other component of Sapphire: DIETHANOLAMINE This stuff is kinda on the scary side too....

Two different products linked here: Epic Industries' sapphire cleaning fluid is not the same the as the Tyco's sapphire fire suppresion system's fluid.
