Hi,
I recently built a PC submerged in mineral oil, everything works except of wo things:
* the CPU fan is struggling to spin. it spins for a split second then stops, it keeps doing it over and over again. the BIOS is not happy either "error: CPU fan error". the model is a Zalman CnpS 2X. I then tried an Intel cpu fan (came with my i7), just dipped it in the oil and it did the same thing. I recently did not anticipate for this issue to happen since every video of a submerged pc on the net has the fan working okay (k they spin slowly but that fine)
* the second issue in the pump ( EK DCP 2.2) is not able to pump the oil all the way to the radiator. I think I am going to solve this by installing a regular aquarium pump.
Any suggestions or advice please :]
(attached are two pics of the setup)
ThanksView attachment 167923View attachment 167924
