Ghetto-build-waterchiller

Hi

This is my first waterchiller, and I'm really happy about it, so far it has given me 110 more mhz (from 2520 to 2630) on my barton 2500+ :)

And the best part: I improved my superpi 1M from 38 sec to 36 sec :D - and still havn't played with water-/liquid-temps below 0ºC (so notning outstanding to see yet ;)) - I'm wating to do that til I have som liquid that can go subzero, don't want a 25 liter ice cube hehe :p:

Now for the pictures:

I have one fan blowing at the radiator, and one at the compressor..

hey do you have insulation on those pipes yet,
i dont know if its recommended, but have you though of rolling that evaporator into a small roll and then putting it in the bottom so its fully submerged and then use less liquid, might get better temps that way maybe?
someone correct me if im wrong please

kayl,

You are right, i am doing the same with mine. i started out with like 3 and a half gallons i am now at about 1 and a half and it gets much cooler.

i love that saying
and its sooooo true


The problem with life is that men love women, women love children and children love hamsters

Nice chiller, looks good.

Thanks everyone, I'll try it out later on... I've just filled in some subzreo liquid to see if that will take me below 0º :D

But I'll try your sugestion later ;)

as I get closer to the best mix between water and subzero liquid (don't know what it's called in english, but it's blueish, and used in cars), i got my watertemp down to -7,5ºC , and reached a screenie at 2,7 ghz (unstable like hell, but the screenies is there):

havn't improved superpi though :(


Now I'm wating for some isolation for my waterhoses, and I still ahve to improve isolation around cpu and nb (damn, there is a lot of isolation involved in this ;))

I did the isolation on the waterhose now, and it looks real cool :)

I put in some more subzero liquid, and had the temp down to -13ºC -

Result: discovered that i needed much more isolation around both cpu, and nb ....

I'll update once I finish ;)

Just wondering what you're using on the back of the pc where the tubing enters/exits? It looks very smooth:)

They are also isolatet ;)

But right now it is split to pieces on the table, I want to be able to see everywhere the kondens building up :)

Hi again...

Promised to return once I finished, and now it looks like I am :D :
