Have anyone tried to completely submerge Avalon into mineral oil? That works very well for desktop computers.

Fluid would be too viscous for the fanz...Wink

I've got a system that's submerged in mineral oil (quad E5-4650).  Transformer oil to be specific (lower viscosity, higher flash temps, mostly synthetic, no PBAs).   Fans don't really care, although that's not the primary circulation method (pump).
Good idea, transformer oil must be better for sure. I want to setup some cooling solution for miner while its not delivered yet. Do you use some sort of a radiator to cool the oil itself? I would not be comfortable with tank full of overheated oil in my room Smiley
