hello
i have an DTEK whitewhater waterblock that iwant to use for my chiller, but when i bought it,al i has was regular watercooling so i wanted it for the looks,so i bought the one with the plastik top, but now, i'l be having chilled water,so will the block be unusable becasue of the plastic top? of will the plastic hold -20 fluid?
i know i'm dumb but i dont whant to waste any more mony on this chiller,so i try to keep stuff
I dont think the luctite is the problem at all. I've heard of ppl running -60 through those and just fine. It would work but it would be VERY hard to insulate. id just get a Dtek Spir@l for $25 bucks, much easier.I wouldnt trust the WW really

I have a DTEK WW with the copper top and brass barbs here is a pic of mine. I think the plastic will be ok down to -20C. I read a post somewhere where someone encased one in neoprene then filled it with spray foam (great stuff). I haven't got a real chiller yet, still doing some research, so I haven't insulated it yet. I'll post a pic when I do.
woops! forgot the pic, here it is.

Ummm maybe cut the neoprene with the holes for the barbs.
marshmallow in the can is your friend
actually its called insulation foam, by daptex i think
comes in a spray bottle, similar to those dusting thingies
