View Full Version : Liquid cooling using chilled ethanol, chilled by phase change - better than DD phase?

Subject pretty much says it all. Would a liquid (possibly direct die? :D) system using ethanol chilled by a phase change system be better than a direct die system? Or would it be pretty much the same? Any forseeable problems?

Well,
I've looked into it, it' more hazardous, read flammable and nasty fumes. A pump for -50C ethanol may be hard to find, hoses and everything will be eaten by ethanol. I think it's a lot MORE work to equal the effect of a Prommy M1........

thats just too much trouble...the problems you will have keeping the cpu die leak proof is not worth the headache.

I think he meant is it better using chilled water or a frozen evap on the CPU !

of course an evap would be better and safer.

Nah, I wanted to know if firing vapor-chilled ethanol directly at a die would offer better performance than just putting the evap straight on the CPU. ;)

i think he is referring to direct die, as in the liquid flowing directly on the core itself

Which isnt effective as you may think, ive seen a couple of people do it now and both times standard water cooling outperforms direct die given the same water temps, the surface area just isnt there...
