help me decide which to pick...

[hecktic]

I cant decide which is better... a vapchill LS (LGA775 mount needs to be bought separately) or a mach II GT or a Chilly1 unit or a completely customized from the ground up unit?

In terms of money, if there is no limit then the obvious is that a custom unit would be the best choice as I understand but lets say I had a spending limit of $600 and assuming I was able to buy any of the above units for $600 then which one would you guys say is best?

For argument sake it must be noted that the unit chosen MUST be worhty of future modification to allow further enhanced performance to handle higher TDP quad core processors.

Also a stupid question but for someone fairly new to phase change, how exactly do you mount the controller for the phase change unit... I mean what do you do just put it on top of the unit bare with no protective covering or do you mount it inside your PC Case ?? ... I guess I ask because mounting it outside of the PC chasis would allow for dust to easily accumulate over the controller card while its running and turned on.... static shock can result from the dust and fry the board of the controller card right?

Thanks for your help guys!

easily the customized unit would be the best performing one, but it may not be to the best for your price range. I suppose you could try to make a deal with a builder, but you have to keep in mind it's how a few of them make their living so they can't go too low

The VapoLS is a decent unit but considering how you'll most likely want more cooling capacity than it can produce you might as well contract/purchase a custom build. We just had a huge change in the way sales operate on this forum though so your best bet is either to find another active forum where you can safely discuss business or wait and see if anyone posts a ready-made unit in the sales section. Wish there was a more definite answer for you but you come to us in uncertain times.

Have you checked the FS sections, their are a few good SS in their that are very well priced at the moment.

okay maybe you guys can help with this question,

which compressor is best out of these:
Danfloss NFX11 Compressor Tuned for 200w @ -38.
1/5 hp embraco set up for -35C operation at about 160 watts
Danfoss NF9fX (quiet and powerful!) Tuned for -30C for a true dual core C2D

Well let me know.


Thanks for your help guys!

i would suggest same as Stapler...although in your last post the first option sounds good enuff for a core2.

nfx11 is the most powerfull one.

but I have never been working with 110v compressors so I don't know about the noiselevel of them.

where do you find the fs section at? I've checked the front page and I don't see it

[hecktic]

does anyone know the audible noise rating of the Danfloss NFX11 Compressor Tuned for 200w @ -38.
