I've had some top scores on some hardware. Usually because I was the only one who had run it on that exact model of server CPU, but still...

Well it’s not nothing to scoff at, usually the winner of these is just silicon lottery, this is making your own luck!

Apparently, but he also cooled them with ice water from a Jerry can, so it's not exactly a "ready to go" solution.

This is really just a DIY water cooled system with DIY water blocks.

On a related note I wish we had a c/madlads around these parts.

I did some robotic submarine stuff in college. One of the techniques for waterproofing was put the electronics in a open at the top box and fill it with oil that was heavier than water. Messy but it worked.

You'd still want induced flow for better heat transfer though

There was as scene in Halt and Catch Fire with this technique. If I recall they where testing the hardware or software for a new 16MH CPU but it had not arrived yet so they overclocked a 8MH instead in the meanwhile.
