Moonman's GPU cooler

[LittleDevil]

My friend moonman decided that he want single stage unit for GPU. I think he will not sleep all night when i got it :D

Here are some pics of his unit:
Compressor is 1/5HP i think, gas will be r402.

Update soon :)

Looks beautiful so far :cool:

I have one suggestion though. That condenser looks very thick for just a tiny 12v 12cm fan. Maybe it's a better idea to use 2 at 7v in a push-pull config? A schroud could help too ;)
With the 2 fans I mean that you'd have a total of 3 fans, 2 in the front in push-pull and one in the back pulling air. It's just an idea.

Anyway, it looks nice and clean so far :)

The config with two push-pull fans on condenser won`t work.

Why not? If you mean it is better to have lower pressure than upper pressure in the case, you're right about that. That means that the two fans in the front would have to push hot air out, and the fan at the back would have to suck air into the case.

Can you explain to me why it wouldn't work? You mean it wouldn't fit inside the case or something?

[LittleDevil]

This is 220V really strong fan, so no problem with that...

znx

Hm, I read somewhere, that if you have push-pull fan config on condenser, it won`t help and it could make a problems. About extra fan that is pulling air from case it good idea.

Why ?

Because among two fans will be whirls of air, you will have much more noise of working fans + worse condenser cooling...Somewhere on XS was thread about that, I must find it for you :)

Wish i had found that thread before i posted one of a similar nature the other week.

Ahh, okay it will be strong enough then ;)

I can't wait to see the final unit. Have fun with it Moonman ;)

Very clean and sweet, what are the temps on this baby?

Also what card you putting under it

[LittleDevil]

Here are final pics... This unit is reallly quite :slobber:

Compressor has 46c while 1 hour running

This unit will go on 7900GT and maybe on X850XT (if I won't sell it before).

Sweet!:slobber:

Wow, this unit is awesome! What model is that Refco manometer?

[cold_ice]

Art. Nr. in Refco catalog: 4490631

[johann]

I will never buy refco products again ever. Maybe it works for some but mine was really bad quality

[LittleDevil]

I saw that you have bad experience with refco tubes, but i'm using a lot od refco tools and i can say that they are perfect...

And that manifold is awesome belive me, one of the best for me. :slobber:

tnx

LD your workshop looks sooo nice!!!

[LittleDevil]

tnx Pete :toast:

[LittleDevil]

I think moonman already try his unit and he has -42 on load 7900GT. Mybe he will post some pics...

tnx

[Pete]

Bloody hell!!! What is he using to cool the ram with then?

I recently got told to avoid Nivida as some cards seam to be cold bugged!

[sl4ck]

That's a nice CPU cooler, this 1/5HP compressor is doing is job right :toast:

BTW: have a nive vacances

[Moc]

pix down?

[LittleDevil]

working now ;)

thanks

That condensor (120mm x 3-row) is really nice - looks like it is a good choice for holding load temps - would this be somethings that other builders would consider for CPU phase coolers?
