Is this the best or worst water cooling idea ever?

Well you know how Vodka is like impossible to freeze. Why not use it for coolant in a water cooling system? Would there be any Adverse Affects? Also cuz alcohol is a disenfectant wouldn't the tubing remain clean and bacteria free?

Let me know what you think.

And also if I try this I am totaly using my dremel to etch the brand of vodka on my case lol

LMAO, I dunno but that is definetly worth a try! SMirnoff ftw!

PS: are you by any chance russian?

Best cooling idea ever would be liquid nitrogen ;)

But vodka up to ~ -110 degrees also works I guess. I can't say if it will dissolve anything important.

first of all bad idea,you need to read alot of guides about how to prepare coolants,its not about being anti-freeze,its about its thermal capacity and ability to conduct heat,and if there was a leak would it destroy your system ?

Alcohols might have a good liquid flow but will it last ?I don't think so,besides why don't you just use distilled water,add some antifreeze,water wetter to increase thermal capacity,some green or blue dye,and some antibacterial that can be found at any pharmacy,it would be alot cheaper than using Vodka.

Actually that is not a good idea because alcohol is very corrosive.

Erm, if you're willing to subject your coolant to low enough temperatures, there can very well be a use for a low freezing point. Also,

Also, I'm pretty sure alcoholic beverages aren't corrosive to metals.

the bigger problem with using a coolant in sub-ambient temperatures is condensation on your motherboard.

Ethanol-related corrosion problems can result from how ethanol behaves in the pipe. There is some evidence that ethanol in high concentrations can lead to various forms of corrosion including internal stress corrosion cracking, which is very hard to detect. This damage may be accelerated at weld joints or "hard spots" where the steel metallurgy has been altered.

Ethanol, the kind of alchol that is found in alcoholic beverages, and vodka has a high amount of it. When you have it constantly flowing, corrosion is an issue.

Those statements are very inconclusive, and from "enewsbuilder"? Anyways, considering the kinds of conditions you'd be subjecting your setup to, internal stress cracking due to the ethanol (not in extremely high concentrations, btw) is very unlikely to be your limiting factor.

hahahahaha, GOOD ONE. ;)
