Here are some pics from my second test run. Sorry about the quality but all I had was an old quickcam.

First pic is one of my pump. All the white is frost and ice. I don't think this pump can handle these temps so I will need to replace it. The colder is gets the stranger the noises get.

Here is a pic of Garys #2 chiller. Check out the ice on the tubing.

Here is a pic of the blocks after about an hour. They are danger den blocks and shouldn't be white :twisted:

Now here are some pics of the thermometer after about 1.5 hours. Once I put the insulation on the tubing it should get much colder! Its a cheap thermometer so I don't know how accurate it is.

nice, chiller seems to have some real cooling power, cant wait to see it on the computer running prime
have you though about how you are going to insulate those water blocks. i know i had a lot of fun insulating my maze4 for the GPU
good luck

Its not just a pretty face. These little chillers have some real muscle. I am setting them up for high capacity, handling multiple blocks, as opposed to going for lowest possible temp on a single block. They will take all the heat load you can throw at them. Jamaljaco has loaded TECHChiller #1 up with 310 watts without hitting the dropoff point. That was all the heat he could get his computer to generate.

Yesterday I ordered the Abit nf7-s v2 for the overclocking. Should be in this weekend. After I condensation proof the board I'll see what it can do =]
