They're back in stock at Frozencpu.

It should actually be called a ground source loop. I've been running mine with only a single MCP355 connected to a plate heat exchanger for over a year now. There's at least a 20' height difference...
3/4" OD tubing would probably bump into a little plastic protrusion above the left barb so I dug out some used tygon 7/16" and 45s to be safe. The used tygon tubing slides easily onto 1/2" barbs but...
The shroud-less fan chaotically moves a lot of air around under the video card. At the default 44% fan speed it seems to do the trick on my MCW60'ed 480s. The heatsink plate was somewhere in the...
I appreciate seeing hard data on loop water temperatures, thanks Gabe.
Could we get some dimensions too please? The height of the dual top with the plugs up the top would be especially useful for me. I have a low profile spot I'm going to stick a dual top in someday....
I followed this guide to mount a MCW60 to a 4770 and 5770 v2 pcb.
The MCW60 (and 80 going by the Swiftechs's drawings) has the same hole spacing and only needs longer bolts to go directly through...
I'm heating up the ground more than I'd like with my 300' of 3/4" HDPE buried 5-6 feet down. The water is 72.6 degrees right now, I'm going to leave the loop alone and see what it peaks at later this...
Here's my quick and dirty 920 overclock.
3849B018. Passively chilled water from 300' of buried 3/4" geothermal piping. The loop's water in temperature was a constant 13.6c.

No built in benchmark means people are benchmarking the opening cutscene, single player portions, or multiplayer portions haphazardly.
The HBAO (or whatever its called, sorry) setting being on or...
My six 1850s are noisier at 600 rpm than my two 1450s and one 1150. Quite disappointing really.
I went ahead with the ground heat exchanger project in my signature because of their noise at...
I did 2 million points in F@H before the gpu clients, those hundreds of dollars of electricity costs were enough for me. Now I won't even get the side benefit of winter electrical heating. :(

That's right. Having chilled blocks even when the pc is off was very off-putting. Achieving safe slightly below ambient temperatures with very little power use was the project's goal.
The Iwaki...
The weather was absolutely perfect today. I've now finished 99% of everything that needs to be done outside. The loop is essentially finalized from a performance perspective. It already seems safe to...
Here are 100 half-sized photos of the dig.

The main thing I need to note is how hitting the water pipe resulted...
Even Crysis doesn't heat the VRMs up nearly as much as Furmark does. So the real world temperatures end up being adequate.
Here's the EK block at 1.3v with 8 degree celcius water temperature. My...
http://www.dpcalc.org/ Its not a problem in the winter with low humidity. The water was 47f last I checked and its 60f in here with 30% humidity. Brrr.
Using the heat exchanger and a slower,...
Stock 920, 1.15v load. The is update removed my profiles. I'm going to run the OCCT GPU+CPU test overnight but the ambient air will cool the exposed pipes and skew the results downwards.

I thought I posted this earlier but the quick reply didn't go through. I haven't finished the supply/return trench yet but I did connect everything to leak test. So far so good.
I've installed...
I think I'm ready for the big day tomorrow. It might be a bit hard to sleep tonight!

Yes, that's another 100' roll of 160 PSI piping. The...
The initial plan, and how its currently setup, is running the water directly through my PC's loop.
The unfinished temporary setup:

The coiled geothermal loop is basically finished. All that's left is to secure the return line to the side and straighten it up a bit. Before doing that I want to be absolutely sure that there's...
After some initial rise I'm expecting a very slow increase over a large period of hours. I'm probably not going to have the data logging and graphing ready this weekend. We'll see soon enough though....
I don't think I mentioned the Pex piping that's going to be feed off the water hose spigot line. There's around a 40 degrees Fahrenheit summer/winter swing in my house's water temperature because of...
