Mineral oil is a terrible thing to use in a system.
The reason being is that...
1. It is a bad heat conductor compared to water
2. It has a high specific heat capacity meaning that it will hold more heat, and will not release it very easily when it gets to the radiator.
I never know that lol, id probably only do a mineral oil PC for show

Honestly whats the point of cooled rigs? If you have a good computer in a well ventilated area, It should never over-heat and if it does than its getting old.
I have my Tower on 24-7 and because its so spacious, it never over-heats or even feels hot for that matter.
My tv on the otherhand puts out more heat than a fridge

I have a H6o Corsair CPU cooler. It's a factory sealed system with a radiator. (but I have seen a video on cutting the lines and modifying it). I am cooling an Intel Q9450 Quad Core CPU. Works greatbiggrinbiggrin

Im cooling a quad core I7 extreme . The point of liquid cooling is the fact that your computer wont bottle-neck under high load, plus it makes it much quieter. Convectional air cooling on my video cards went up to 60-70c , but with liquid cooling, it never goes past 45c on 100% load. Mind you , 60 c is 140F

The point is maximum overclock and and/or reduced noise.

BTW, If you are using a newer CPU like Sandy or Ivy at stock frequency and mid-range graphics card or worse, than you are right there is no logic making it water cooled. Hell no need for fans either.

I can only guess it’s a gaming laptop. People prefer to buy thin and powerful laptops and many times that’s the problem, it’s VERY hard to cool a hi-end GPU and CPU in a thin chassis… funk Look at Alienware machines they are so thick for a reason!
Of course your problem might be something completely different.tongue
