Motherboard in a fish tank doesn't short out?
« on: February 07, 2021, 04:10:39 PM »
So I'm watching this movie series on Netflix right?
It's loosely based on Compaq getting into the laptop personal computer race in 1982.
They've backwards deconstructed the IBM programming Bios, got caught and are forced to design their own code.

In order to make a laptop personal computer that's lighter, smaller, faster than the next guys, they have to be able to overclock an cpu proccessor chip without burning it up.

They show a scene of a motherboard in a fish tank in water and it breaks an event of speeds under 4 milliseconds without overheating.
The motherboard was all hooked up in water as a heat sink but I missed the part when they said what chemical they added to the water so that the circuits didn't short out.

What in the world did they add to the fish tank water?  :rotfl:

You can run boards under pure water. Unless there were fish swimming in it and bumping into the 8080 CPU, it was silicone oil, or just pure movie magic.  :lol:

You could use deionized water. Pure water (no ions) doesn't conduct. This probably wouldn't last very long. in water with voltage applied I have seen dendrite grow in a few seconds. My guess is that it was an inert fluid called fluorinert. This is often used for bubble leak testing of electronic components in a tank which resembles a fish tank. The fluid looks like water.


I forgot to mention. Fluorinert is also used in electronics as a heat transfer fluid.
