:( Your looks so clean and nice while mine looks like ass :p:
Kepp up the good work :D I'll post my setup this weekend when I get the infinity in and chilled :D I even ghetto clamp the GPU block on :O

Great! cant wait to see it,we need some more chiller action.Quote:

small update, just to state i'm still at it.. small steps at a time eheh.
i've vmodded my 9600tx... so far it works :) but it seems i can't get a measurement of the vdimm (doh, all other measurements work). oh and i did it MY way with hotglue! (yeah hotglue is the way, lol). i'll edit a pic or two into this once i get some. maybe tomorrow night.
i haven't floored it yet as it is still air-cooled (doh, i'm slow), but the dipswitches for enabling/disabling the mods do work as planned.. yea! if i get a reading on the vdimm tomorrow, i'll step it up a bit, to see if it can do 420/330 without artifacts. up to now 395/325 was the limit for 2k1, aquamark would start artifacting at 397/330..
/edit pic 1, vgpu

pic 2, the new ati "control panel" :D plus some of the spots to measure the voltages.
http://www.abi02.de/deepblue2k2/pixx/a_IMG_0935.jpg
in case anybody wonders... that black think's a 8x dip switch to enable / disable individual mods (vddq, vmem, -, vgpu from right to left, as it's seen from the back). the 3 cermets upright should be quite obvious, again right to left vpgpu, vddq, vmem.
the 5-pin-block in the topleft corner of that add-on board can be hooked with plugs to measure the voltages. the 3-pin-block is for measuring the resistance of vmem- and vddg-cermets, the single pin can be used as ground and the two pins behind that are the points to measure the resistance on the vgpu cermets.
yeah.. i like it that way :D...
maybe i'll solder them some time soon.. i just wanted to get the feel without the ability to kill it on the spot :D
Sweet control panel. I wanted to make something like that but I got lazy. So did you just glue the wires into place no solder?
well everything on that "control panel" - have to like the name, lol - was soldered to the cables. after put under some hotglue to avoid shortening it inside the case by accident. all spots on the actual card are hotglued, no solder. but as said, i might solder them sometime but before that i will train soldering on an old bnc-network card :D.
and for the control panel - i just had to - control freak and all. i want to know what resistance i get once i crank the cermet. i thought of getting some old analog vu-meters, but lol.. that would really be overkill, tho nice for a casemod...
Isn't anyone ready to take the next step, and adjust the refrigerant charge?
If you have simply inserted the evaporator in a res, your system is not finished. It is overcharged for the load. This means that the temps are not as low as they could be, the oil is being diluted with refrigerant, the valves are in danger, and the compressor's days are numbered.
At the very least, you should install a piercing valve, and remove enough refrigerant to make the bottom of the compressor warm (60-70C/140-160F).
Gary's venting again!:DQuote:

Whoa Jamal you've inspired me to get working on my waterchiller and get it done :)
lol, i got some time to work on my chiller now, as my nf7-s got its bios scrambled... doh guess 229,x fsb was too much for it ;)
I'll be starting one soon, we just pulled 2 old aircons out of the office. I'm planning using them both to cool the coolant.
I knew nothing of this sort of thing, but this thread has given me somewhere to start.
The good thing is that both the coolers probably need recharging so i'm thinking of swapping to 408a and getting the aircon guy to install a valve like Gary suggested.
Anyway I'll have piccy's of the units up tomorrow night :D
Ooo sounds nice, i want to find an old aircon but havn't been able to find one. My next project i will make from scratch so should be a hard task but i love hard tasks.Quote:

2 ac's won't get you any colder than one,it don't work that way,it will however allow you to have a greater heatload but one is plenty powerfull enough. 2 is overkill on your overkill.Quote:

Also, why do you say they need recharging? Did the refrigerant leak out somehow? If it didn't leak out then your ok.It is a common error (my assumption) to think it needs a little freon or the refrigerant has worn out. Oh, and if you have yours professionaly filled the guy will fill it to match your heatload and then no need for the line tap vavle.:D
anyway I'm glad you found us welcome to the madness!:eek: It's good to have some new blood on this thread ,Gary has been riding my butt to get on with step 2. hehe
;) ;) ;) C-mon with the pics!

I was going to use two so I could increase the heatload. I'm hoping to run a couple of Prescott 2.8's @ around 4-4.1ghz and have them folding 24/7. I've been banned from supercooling in the house after my last project so it's no good for my main rig (but I;m thinking about a Vapo XE for that anyway ;) )
Of course she didn't say I couldn't move my computer into the shed :p:
Right on ,do you plan on having them as seperate chillers or is there a plan in place to share certain componets,pumps ,hoses ,res ect?,
this could rock!
Man, I would live in the shed if I were you , lol.
My lady is a geek and wants herself a chiller also. our projects take over the house, we share in the madness! it's quite nice really
heh yea if I did my chiller in my room I'd be pretty much screwed. thank god I moved it into the basement. I had 2 MAJOR spills so far :p:
LoL I don't want to push it, she puts up with me having racks in the study for my F@H farm and generally doesn't whinge when i spend $$ on my toys :)
I was going to run 2 pumps and 2 seperate loops with one res, which i was planning to custom make. I helped my dad build his boat so i have a fair amount of experience with fiberglass.
I was thinking of maybe a small 3rd pump aswell pumping from the pickup area to the return area to cool it quicker..

I think i'll porbably fibreglass them into the res so the coolant must go through them :)
I just had a look at the aircons they are rated at 1.63kw/5600BTU with r22. So with 3.26kw of cooling, I shouldn't have any temp probs :banana:
Sweet, lets get some pics of those units and get started, hehe.
What's the total heat output of everything you are cooling?Quote:

Don't know yet. I've been thinking about it and will probably only use one. Can you convert one of these to a prommie style system ?Quote:

They've both been operating in pretty salty conditions so atm they aren't in too great nick. This one is the worst.
Sorry about the crap quality of the pics, it's a new digicam and I haven't figured it out yet. I can't find mine :mad:, when I do i'll post up some high qual pics of the internals

WHOOOA DUDE YOUR FROM BRISBANE HOLY FKN §§§§!!! lol.
What suburb you man?
My waterchiller is based in the workshop, might do light work in my room, but defiently not brazing.
Capalaba, what about you ?Quote:

Me St Lucia, bloody hot.
I just looked at the other one and the specs are different it's a 7000BTU unit. I'll probably use that one as it seems to work better.
