Incredibly dumb meme. Don’t put electronics near water like this.

I put the nozzle on fan but my computer still died

See I have a mineral oil setup.

Get a nice hickory bacon slice between your heat sink and CPU and the salt and grease will keep it running smooth.

That reminds me. If you have pain in your back and take some olive oil mixed with some Epson salt to the affected area, it will immediately start feeling greasy and salty.

  1. Really.

I just keep repeating "the Sun's getting real low" until it cools down.

It's a meme but #2 is something I actually would do although it wouldn't be inside the PC. Surprisingly effective at dropping temps.

Something I actually had to do with my first pc in it’s last weeks of life. And it works pretty good. At least good enough to keep the pc from overheating but it was too loud to use without headphones.

Yeah, it's not the most ideal when playing with people. I did this with a PC that had an R9 290 which would skyrocket to 90C every time I played a game so in summer, it would get really warm really quickly. The fan method helped slowed that down and I believe the PC would shut down if the CPU got too hot.

Fun fact: It’s no problem to use water on electronics, as long as you’re not trying to power said electronics at the same time. Make sure it’s dry before powering it up.

Potentially deadly advice if your device has capacitors because they don’t immediately discharge when a device is turned off.

Just decharge them using your friend’s tongue

Just as dangerous if you are touching your friend…

1 is really just water cooling with the pump off, 3 with the pump on, any 2 is everything not passively cooled.

I’m short, all of the above.
