:woot: Very nice Thread!
I have still two questions:
1. Do the Heat Pipes still work? Cpu Cooler and Mainboard?
2. Are there any problems with condensation? Also when you get in again?
Thanks Smash from Germany

1)heatpipes DO work :D
2)short bench-sessions usually got me no condensate :D
If you got condensate - use hairdryer :)
My geography class memory tells me one of the best places in the world for subzero AIR COOLING would be Novosibirsk, Russia. Brutally freekin cold about January.
:D Your SIG is wrong - has to be "Be cool and stay fool" .........:lol: :ROTF:Quote:

They dont work. i nearly burned my Sandy, when ambients was -20c. Temp was 60c+ with BigTyphoon, before i switched PC off.
With 0c ambients i could get 8c idle on CPU.
worked fine for me with ambients of about -10C
Ok, then it probably depends on the cooler.
Perhaps we can make a list with working and not working coolers for subzero use.
@TaPaKaH
Which cooler did you use?
I used TT BigTyphoon
Oh:confused: Perhaps there is a dead point.
So what say other subzero ocer?:D Post your experiences!
I just LOVE that design :woot:Quote:

Now that is xtreme :D

lol, can you take a picture from inside, where the cpu is?:woot:Quote:

Also i wouldnt be worried about killing cpu because eventually it will get hot enough to heat the hsf up again :p:
using this cooling helped - heatpipe did not freeze (temps about 0C)
Respect man!!! :toast:Quote:

So, i have just made up a hew thread in a German forum. Otterauge said that it perhaps depends on the Paste("Wärmeleitpaste" don't know the Einglish word right now:D )which you use.
For example, he once said that Coollaboratory Liquid Pro isn't good for subzero use.
@TaPaKaH and Kasparz
Which paste did you use?
I always use ASceramique :up:Quote:
Which paste did you use?
Subsero air hm i live in northern sweden not far from the artic circle , perhaps i should try some oc-ing when its -30 to -40 with watercooling :D
I vote for sticky, I will definately be trying to get some results when the temps start going down here again, it is not uncommon even here in PA to get temps into the -20c range
THIS would be a great subzero aircooler.

Put the biggest monster 120mm on it with a 92>120 adapter.
Lets add another wrinkle.
How about some of our more XTREME members try running a high power TEC aircooled? Take the above HS/F, put a TEC under it and add a little copper coldplate under the TEC and above the CPU.
We've theorized for years that TEC's have a point where the cold doesn't help any more... would be nice to see.
