Help me out.

... What?
No, liquid cooling is totally feasible for this, just not submersion cooling like Palmer's talking about.

I dislike submersion cooling anyway, when it comes to computers, it's no better than traditional fans 'n' copper.

 

[N00BModdr]

So uh, are you guys just being sarcastic, or is it actually possible to fill the DMG up with cooling fluid?

 

[βeta]

It is, but there's no point. They don't ACTUALLY get hot. XD

 

[N00BModdr]

It is, but there's no point.

And it'll still work!?!?!?!

They don't ACTUALLY get hot. XD

Mine does.

 

[βeta]

mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity.

 

[N00BModdr]

That's AWESOME!!!
I'm totally gonna do that to my DMG. Well, not mine, cause mine's not clear, so it wouldn't be cool.

 

[βeta]

You'll need to waterproof (oilproof?) the speaker, it won't work submerged. also, the screen can be damaged by liquids. And make sure it's TIGHT! Don't want leakage.

 

[N00BModdr]

Maybe you could use soda instead.

 

[βeta]

Soda is water-based. Water=shorts. It needs to be pure oil.

 

[N00BModdr]

I was just thinking. Incase it leaked, then you could drink it, and it wouldn't be totally wasted. What would I have to do to the screen to make it ok if oil was poured into the DMG?

 

[PalmerTech]

Screen works fine in oil.

 

[N00BModdr]

Perfect!!!

 

[βeta]

Wouldn't oil get between the screen and the plastic though? Or is there none?

 

[N00BModdr]

The screen is stuck up against the plastic. I don't think there's any room for oil, unless the screens been detatched and meddled with previously.

 

[pkmnjunky7]

I call poppycock!!

 

[N00BModdr]

It sounds possible, though.

 

[Bibin]

Since when did the DMG produce any heat worth discussing? None of mine get very hot at all, and it certainly won't be melting itself. If you must cool it for some reason, do it passively.

Also, Water is not conductive. Impurities are. I have played GBA in the shower. No issues.

 

[PalmerTech]

Bibin, this would be for lulz. The DMG makes almost no heat.

 

[XCVG]

Normal tap water is usually pretty conductive, but not hugely so. De-ionized water made for watercooling PCs is for all practical purposes nonconductive.
