Dangerden + -25degC water = nono??

[M.Beier]

Hey people..

I got a Dangerden TDX, plexitop...
Would I be insane putting my rig together with that watercooling head??
Or is -25 deg C liquid not to make it crack??

I wasnt aware of plexi+cold water issues...

I ran my TDX at -25c, it was OK. Over the long term I don't know, as I burnt that head up.

Plexi is going to crack on you without exposing it to cold temps...brass tops ftw

[afireinside]

It won't crack but it will be very weak and brittle. I'd get a brass/delrin top even if you're not running chilled liquid.

works fine now, only issue, deltaT res/heads is quite high... +7 deg C on water, CPU load @ 36... - Quite extreme, but think the temp probe sux @ res... - cause GFX was 13 / 27..
CPU idle 17 deg C... - IHS is off... 19 deg higher load than idle, hmmm... - Didnt cool water down, warmed it up... GFX lacked in insulation... - was a bit icy yesterday... - just insulated it today, tomorrow GMT +1, 7:10 I'll turn on the chiller, I'll be home around 16:00 - think liquid is gonna be cold :)

It will probably work, but over time it could crack. I tried to stay away from blocks with clear tops when I got my system simply because some crack being in a normal water cooling system.

I am running a plexitop head and my coolent is -21c some times a little lower.

Plexi tops are stupid imo.

It worked :)

But changing socket, ordered HeaTkiller rev 2.5 s478 :)
