you can buy it for 200€ @ http://www.aqua-computer-systeme.de
...without fans. ...designed to cool 40 server cpus...

[water_cooler 20]

Wow i wonder how it does on 1 home cpu:stick:

[Dr. Possum]

What is it, a giant radiator?

Wow, cool...



~DP

[KennethChong]

Wow, that looks like it would be fun to mess with.

[shray]

hehe if you can hide it and pump some nice water through it.. dang...

[saaya]

i bet the water temp will always be equal to the room temp, even with a 200W cpu, nb, sb, gfx, and hdd coolers :D

[Major]

yes, I would have to say your water would ALWAYS be at ambient ! you could probably cool a small block chevy with it ! hehe

[GVCryan]

Just get a car rad and a pair of high watt fans from Autozone, then use the tranny in/out pipes for your tubing.

Costs alot less.

Get one from a civic or something, it should be fairly small.

[TerroH8er]

pffft, that's nothin compared to my SLK-800 :p:

not worth it

[Estide]

A Greater Radi like this has only a good cooling if more then 5 Pc's are cooled with...
To cool with this Radi one PC is not better than a cooling with a Dual Radi.The Temp Difference between an Single and Dual radi is not so high too....

[CCW]

Lucky its for enterprise, watercooling servers though, never heard of it, at least they can tucknoisy things like that in server rooms.

[ctgilles]

That's just nasty :D

[GVCryan]

I love those server rooms. It is like 10c in there, with all these computers and wires everywhere.

I applied for a job working IT at Roadway Express Trucking, I lost the job, but I got to look at a bank of SGI's and a sealed Cray covered in Flourinert.

[KingInge2000]

Looks like a PC in radiator mod...

[jinu117]

Those fans better be Panaflo L1A running at 7v.

[antipop]

I've never heard of a watercooled server but why not. That's clearly overkill for one cpu, for the price you can get a pelt setup!
But it could be nice if you have a folding farm, with one single loop you would cool all your cpu's

[hedge]

Yeah, to much for me. It would be sweet though. You could put a 226 pelt on everything and still have good water temps. Now the question is where to hide that monster?

[Weapon]

if you slapped a bunch of 226watt pelts into a system and then ran the water to that, you would have to mount it in an exterior wall and exhaust the heat to the great outdoors...that or turn a room into a sauna. :slobber:


I bet 5 or 6 '71 caprice heatercores with shrouded dual 120s ran parallel would match the performance. :D

Also, the cupboard under the stairs wouldnt suffice due to its limited airflow so it would have to be out in the open :eek: i would not want to be near that

afaik most server clusters are watercooled... well its not water, some mixture of chemicals.

ive seen a review on tv about one of the largest and most powerfull clusters somewhere in the us, and the building had 4 20M tall cooling towers where the liquid cools down before it flows back to the cpus :eek:

I didn't even think of the hot air issue. You would have to setup up your computer outside to use it. But then you would have to make sure that the fans aren't pointed at the road as to how it will knock over small children and the elderly. :eek:

[Weapon]

not necessarily outside...you could use the scheme that I had working in my garage before I had to move. My office shared a wall with the garage -- a little 1/2" drill action and a couple of copper pipes, a dab of caulk = computer in one room...loud and hot computer shiznit in the next room. That kinda made me paranoid though...i was always going to the garage to make sure everything was still working right. Well, until I finally started slapping sensors on everything so I could monitor it from my office -- I just ran the wires through a small piece of conduit that I wedged in over the copper pipes.

step forward to now: the wife vetoed my plan to situate my office in the room that shared a wall with the garage. :mad: I am still halfway tempted to get 2 or 3 Rainbow Quiet One pumps (1140 gph with max head of about a mile), run the copper pipe right up the wall of my office then through the ceiling, down the attic runway and bling! right to the garage.

lol....she would be pi$$ed.

[k1114]

But um... wouldn't you need a TON of pumps to push the water through that at a decent speed?

errrr.....3 Rainbow Lifeguard Quiet One pumps -- the ones I mentioned in the last post -- would move 3420 gph thru 1/2' line if it were a straight shot - one at floor level to get it up to the ceiling -- one in the attic to send it to the garage - one in the garage for the return trip...

at most, I would have to add one more Rainbow pump to the equation....but I think 3 would do it.

[saaya]

on the site where they sell it they say it runs fine with a single eheim 800L/h pump.

ahh....I was talking about my captain insano pump water thru the attic out to the garage scheme.

one rainbow lifeguard would pump water thru that rad so hard it would have garden hose flow coming out the other side.

lol.

wife: "honey, do you hear that water swishing sound? no? well where in the h311 is all that whirring coming from in the garage -- it sounds like a bunch of fans running or something"

errrrrrrrrrrrrr.......no.


I will continue with the current scheme of converting the closet in my office into a cooling cabinet for the waterchiller. I am sneaking a smaller duct off if the AC to chill the inside of the closet...I will add insulation later :D

[saaya]

lol :p:
