Hey everyone,
I’m starting this thread because I couldn’t find any solid answers after digging around the forum.
I live in a pretty underdeveloped country, almost fourth-world status, so getting stuff off eBay or Amazon is a huge hassle.
Plus, shipping from abroad is a nightmare with all the duties and bribes driving the prices sky-high.
So here’s my question: what liquid coolant can I buy locally that’s reliable for immersion cooling?
I’ve searched for transformer oil, and it runs about 7 bucks a liter here. I’m still looking for food-grade mineral oil. As for distilled water, there’s no way I’d risk immersing my ASIC in that.
Got any recommendations from those of you who know your stuff? What about ATF? Could coconut oil work (I’m skeptical about its viscosity)?
I’d appreciate your thoughts or if there are threads I missed that you could point me to.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers!
