Ok here we go, as promised to some of you my chiller:

Im sorry I cant show you more inside detail as its hanging in my window ;) but its a homemade res with the evap submersed in it and the tubes are just pushed apart to opposite ends of the box.

The tubes enter my pc here throught a hole I cut out

The mobo and all that (gotta love the messy insulation job :) )

Thats all there is, as for temps my fluke thermocouple tells me -28c idle and full load will pull that up to -22c

Comments?

Love the pics.
That is the one im getting.
What did you make the res out of?
I am going to be making one two and need some ideas. :)

Res is made out of 1 inch think foam insulation (It came from an insulated box that was shipped to me with a christmas ham a few years back :) ) I just cut it to the size I needed then used silicon seal to hold it together. Tested for leaks overnight and thats it. No mess or other insulation was needed as its room temp on the outside even when my liquid is -25 c or more.

Anyway I know homedepot sells sheets of it (I would go 1 inch thick not any thinner) Probably snag a 4 by 8 foot sheet for 10 or less dollars I would think (not listed on the website as they wont ship boxes that big).

If you have other questions let me know.

well done
what sorta oc improvement did ya see

[Frozendeath]

Nothing stellar but I was amazed, 3.55ghz on water (rock stable) 3.6 gave me trouble.

With this I maxed out my chip 3.76ghz (its an old 3.0c not a 30 capper and not a slw6 stepping or whatever). I think I maxed it out here becasue if I go 2 fsb more (3.79 ish) It wont post no matter how many volts I give it or ram speed / timings or anything.

What amazed me most was that on water I needed 1.65 volts to get it to 3.55, now I can feed it 1.575 v at 3.75ghz and its 100% stable. Guess it helps that my voltage mosfet temps are at 11 - 12 C :D due to the whole board getting cold around the socket.

Anyway Ill probably pick up a 3.0 pressy once I get some more money :p: would love to get 4ghz + with this then.
