However, all of that is not to say that regulating temperatures with Cravendale is in fact a clever PC building hack. Or even a good idea at all. Both videos discovered the milk left a nasty residue on the inside of the cooling setups’ tubes and reservoirs, even after flushing them with water. Then there’s the obvious issue of the milk eventually going sour – even if it’s in a sealed environment, proteins in the milk will invariably break down in time and spoil it. Presumably turning lumpy if left for long enough, and you can imagine the issues with having a trail of miniature fatbergs clogging up the PC’s pipes.
Milk, then: refreshing, affordable, and available in several non-dairy varieties, but not an ideal PC cooling liquid in spite of its weirdly impressive performance. Tony and anyone else who’s just really, really enthusiastic about breakfast cereal should consider a white-coloured conventional coolant instead.
