so you want to waterchill?

[icesalmon]

wow sky that is like exactly what I want !! I am very interested in phase change but at the same time kinda scared about trying to make my own res insulate everything etc.

and vapo units are hella pricey

Great guide! But I do have a few questions which maybe you should add in there

What's the difference as far as OC performance between a chiller and just straight water? You should do a comparison as far as explaining what exactly a chiller is used for and the differences between just straight water. This is coming from someone who knows nothing, which is who the guide is aimed at. All I know is that chiller is colder.

this is kind of hard to figure out without pictures

so basically what this is, is just adding a evaporator and radiator from an air conditioning unit to your current w/c setup am i right


im a begginer btw and am looking at OCing my intel 3.2GHZ cpu to 4.1 and keeping my EVGA 6800 Ultra nice and chilly, so i can overclock it later(i hpe to go to 475 or higher maybe im not too sure.)


here is the liquid setup i most likley will go with.


Swiftech MC650 pump
Tygon 1/2 ID tubing
Swiftech-Bay-Res
Hardware Labs Ice Extreame 2 mounted externally with swiftech radbox
Dangerden TDX cpu block (478 socket one)

Here is a thread somewhere else with some pictures showing the process. Go here

Excuse my noobiness but wouldnt the cost of running a chiller 24/7 be alot?

its equvilivent to the cost of running an air conditioning unit rite?

also, the AC unit being discussed is a standard room window ac or a special size
