Got me a new Igloo container for my R404A rig. It works well, overnight with the system off my water temps only lost 1c :D
Testing a 1.8 P4 with water at -11 using a MCW-478 at 1.89volts.
It only does 2900 stable, cpu temps around 11-17 max. I'll be trying out Eli's custom 478 Copper block this weekend see if I get improvement.
OPP
I must be really stupid, I just threw away a working cooling unit like the one on OPP pics not knowing it could serve a good purpose and spend €650 on a vapochill :eek:
Hi Fella's:)
Well....after many months and many people asking for pics of my phase change chiller...I'm proud to break its virginity and post the pics here for the first time. I apologize as the pics were taken while I was still benching for the other team..and it is marked as such....I'll soon change that and repost the pics for ya's:) I'll begin by showing you a pic of what I started with...a surplus Movin' Cool on wheels spot cooler...basically a 10,000BTU air conditioner on wheels. The beauty of this puppy is its capacity. It has a massive 15"x15" Evaporator and a little larger condensor...which is cooled by a shrouded fan the size of a small car. Here is the pic of the original unit

Yeah..see that price?? I got this thing for taking it away. I just happened across it looking for something else..at a time when I was studying Phase Change and trying to decide how I was going to put a system together. When I saw this thing...I knew I was set:)
I cut the unit down to just the bare necessary sheetmetal...removed the thermostat and jumped the associated wires. I extended its frame to accomodate an old 16-18gallon Coleman picnic cooler...which is bolted to the chassis. I had a refrigeration guy come in..and plumb the evaporator to lay in the cooler at a 45 degree angle..and to the bottom, so the coolant would recieve its full effeciency. He recharged the system with R-22 and we were off. My wife bought me a Danner 750GPH magdrive pump for my birthday which is submerged and teed to send coolant to both the cpu and vid card. It's filled with 16 gallons of Texaco Havoline Dexcool and distilled water in a 50/50 mix...which will chill down to -35c. With a chip that likes those temps..it will maintain -30c for hours. With my current AGOIA XP I have to keep the temps between -25 and -20 to keep my L2 cache from dropping back to 64k. So with no further ado...heres "MRICEE"

Very good job
(glad that I'm not the only one with a messy pc-room ;))
MrIcee,
You beat me to it :D
I was going to submit a new thread Titled "who wants to see MrIcee's System?? I do:D"
Nice job and great work on the chiller my friend. Excellent result to Boot.
About time you showed us what youv'e got :toast:
OPP
Now that is what I call cooling. It makes my Vapochill look like a kindergarten boy.:)
Anyway, here's mine, modded to reach -24C at the evaporator.

why does that say icrontic on it???? lol
WooooOW... nice chiller u got there MrIcee! :cool:
DDtung,
What did u changed in the vapo to get that temps!?
Gentleman....thank you all very much:)
I have wanted to show you guys this thing for some time, especially DD and OPP as they had inquired in the Past.
JBell....these pics are about a month old...thats why I put the disclaimer in the thread that the pics were taken when I was still benching for the other team:) As soon as I get some more lettering..I ASSURE you:D , It'll be advertising XtremeSystems...and to be quite honest....it fits in here like a glove....XTREME !! LOL
I'll get some more pics of my puter desk...along with some "Frosty the Snowman" shots of my hoses and OCHideout waterblocks:)
Randi :D
PS. I've told DD and OPP this previous..but my total investment in this effecient chiller is around $275 total including the 3/8" hose and pipe insulation etc. My total outlay on the chiller alone was the cost of my good friend Art Kemmets labor (A+K Refrigeration) to replumb the evaporator and recharge the system, $246.
very COOL, MrIcee ;)
crazy setup u got there!
MR ICEE looks like all the global warming problems are over if you take it off your chip for a few hours ...... AWSOME swap ya for my cooling setup
er.... F**K!
that about covers it (sorry jbell / kurupt!)
you guys have some insane setups and i must commend you all on them, it is so neat to see things like this, and maybe i can take some inspiration and get into extreme oc'ing, but we'll see, once again some nice work on all your parts
Randi,
Does that vapo change your power-bill much and how about noice, Can you still have your family around when starting that "heatsink"?
Mac
Mac:)
I don't run it all the time...only about 30 minutes before I boot up..and I shut it off after I'm done. The power costs are negligble.
As far as noise...its got a big, shrouded fan..and with most of the sheetmetal removed you get alot of air noise....especialy on high speed(its a 2 speeds cooling system) It sounds like a big box fan on high basically...you can't hear the compressor much except for a very low hum.:)
Randi :D
Cool!
So if i trip over a airconditioner then i should take it?
Mac
Just make sure its high capacity...thats the key to attaining low temps AND maintaining them...plus a large reservoir for reserve capacity:)
Randi :D
Hi all
OH MY godd that looks awesome :), damn u most have invested a lot oftime into building, but U get my 5 fivestars for it look`s real cool and expensive :)
So, instead of mounting these to your cores, using something similar to a evaporator on a vapochill, you are pumping the coolant through copper pipes ina resivor full of water for a normal water cooling system?
-SOCOM
SOCOM:)
Thats correct. Istead of direct evaporator to cpu cooling...some of us place the evaporator in a reservoir to chill a cooling medium such as anti-freeze, which is pumped to waterblocks just like a conventional "straight watercooling" system.:)
Randi :D
Hi all
Mr.Icee what do you use for anti freeze at those temps, might try and build 1 myself, though im getting my Prometeia today got a brand new 1 for 350 dollars :D
Menty
Mentaly:)
I use a 50/50 mix of Havoline Dex Cool and distilled water. The Dex Cool is a special forulation here in the states that is an extended life formula, and contains the necessary long life additives to prevent electrolysis between dissimilar metals in the cooling system.
Randi:D
Any chance giving out the secret on that price??Quote:

Look at that, i might be able to get one.
I talked to the guy at that firm and there is a remote version with a thermostat that allows you to cool the water down to around 1 or 2 degrees c. I guess that is tweakable if needed.
We have around 100 of them here at my work and they are dead quiet!!
Not even a whisper.
I guess all i have to add is Inlet and outlet and a pump, right?
Mac
Hi Mackanz
Yea shure the secret is some firm bought 2 and only needed 1, and they were offered a little price so i offeréd just a little more
and i got it with a P4 kit and shipping fees so end price for me 400 Dollars. :) didnt include shipping before sry, but still a very fair price I think.
Edit : I`m gonna take some pics when i have set up with digicam, hope someone can host them, so U can see it in action, and hopefully my 1600+ will do a little more than 167x12 @1.92 Vcore :D

well here is my home made unit.

this is my babe i have been working on now for about 3 weeks
well first day of testing .so i thought what the hell get out the big peltier. 156watts at 13.8 volts.full loaded my block .didnt do bad at all.i had to adjust the freon some.caused my no load temps to go from -53.5 down to -45. but at least is keeping the block cold.i have 3 probes.one one the cold plate reading-43.3 one on the hot side of the peltier reading -7.5 on one on the block reading -27.7.not too bad so far.

Anyone here charging their systems with straight propane? If so.. what compressor are you using.. as in HP.. and original freon used in it..
Also.. did you have any trouble filling the system with propane? Put in any other type of additive? etc..
Does anyone here know if those cans of Johnston R-134A you get at Wal-Mart have ester oil in them? The straight cans.. the kind that you need the piercing valve on the top for..
originally i was going to use a 226w pelt with my chiller, but after the wires snapped off for the second time while i was remounting it, i decided the straight chiller would do the job just fine. The TEC was just stressing me out anyways...

SWEET!
I LOVE IT.LOOKS LIKE A KILLER MACHINE.:cool:
bldegle2,
Very nice!!! Love the red...and see thru. Original.
thanks.
it is actually two colors, right side, top and rear are red acrylic, the chiller is red acrylic on the right side, clear on the left and rear.
the other half of the case is clear, left side, bottom and front.
i had it custom made by this guy in Texas, very professional work, to my specs, and the only person I know that makes a full tower acrylic case.
here is the linkage.
http://www.clear-viewtech.com/fullv1.html
i hate to dislcose the cost of this upgrade, but i may as well. over $1500 including the Prometeia device. most of the 'puter guts i has running in my main (used to be main) rig, but it adds up, fans, black dvd and 48x burner (LiteOn's), custom 6 in 1 card reader, front USB 2.0, firewire, baybus, black floppy, modded dual PS's with red acrylic covers and fans replaced with LED 80's. internal USB 2.0 converted lappy hard, makes taking stuff to field visits a snap, couple of 60 gigger's for OS and storage, 1 gig of PC3200 ram. i am running an ATI, but i like Nividia better.
this monster powers two 21" monitors and too many externals to mention, one of them being a microscope, just for example.
working on an P4 twin, but it will take some time.
baldy:D
Not sure what to say, but i feel like amateur...
Man you guys can`t stop right... Thought about prommie, but with GFFX comming i might hold on to it...

That's a very clean looking evap!
What is it covered with? I want to do mine like that. Is it some kind of spray on insulation?
It is insulation tape, but there isnt much there so it isnt meant for very low temps.
Really? it doesn't look like tape on the block.Quote:

Yeah it is just differant than all of the tape I have used.
I have some of that in the pic, I just couldn't see any seams in his pic, almost looked sprayed on or something. :D
Yeah and it is shinier than the insulation tape that I have.I think he must have used one piece to get it smooth.

Dont mind the mess :D ;)
What kind of case is that? Did you make it? Got any closeups of front of case? Thanks :D
I was looking for a case with motherboard chassis in the hight.
Only because i realy hated the prom unit case ( ugly ;) )
And that was realy difficult :(
There where a few options Antec and Lian Li but those prices are sick.
So i looked @ some second hand sites like ebay etc.
Then i found this one :)
For 40 Euros :D
Its an old kanrich case (German Quality ghehehe :D).
It is an old at server with 2 300 Watt AT PSU
I completely rebuild it for prom use and had to made it ATX compatible (not as easy as i thougt it would be :D :P)
This is over 3 months of hard work :)
Theres only one bad thing its frikkin heavy (50 kg orso :( )
Well, you did a good job with it....doesn't look like I will be buying one. :D
I could only snag one pic because of my camera, but here are my systems. Obviously the chiller is not on right now, it needs a little work, hence the no insulation ;) Temp is after the Direct die has been on for about 2 minutes. Both work great for me which is what really matters :D
Too bad I dont have any benches as of yet, because everytime something gets fixed, something else breaks :( THis time I f'ed up my 2400+ by yanking the evap off too soon :o

Yeh it's ok because it wont be running any time soon...I'll fix that later once I get my system running again, as in get a new processor. Plus that tupperware wont be used for a res much longer, I havent even bothered to insulate it.Quote:

Mine should look close to that but all in anodized black/w green lighting. The lower window looks great! Does the cut match the cut in your tower side panel?...it looks very similar.
