Chilled SB Ideas & Advice

[95RapidRiot]

I have been wanting to put together a chilled liquid cooling loop. I want to use it for my SB CPU build and a GTX 580. My computer is downstairs. The ambient temp stays around 60 - 65 F. I do not have the freezer, 2600K, GTX 580 or MB yet.

These are a couple fairly simple ideas. I would love to here anyones advice or thoughts! Thanks in Advance!

First I have thought of using a small freezer or refrigerator/freezer as a cooled reservoir. I have seen one on here already. Mine would be smaller in size.

Second I have thought about taking the same frig/freezer and stick my PA 120x3 radiator in it. Then run 3 Ultra Kaze fans on the radiator. I am just not sure if I would need to have some sort of outlet for the air being pushed around inside????

THANKS!

Both ideas would be far less efficient (and viable) at producing chilled liquid than building/buying a chiller.

If you're looking at just a series of bench runs, you could always use a bucket of ice water.

Just make sure to insulate your tubing properly.

What chillers are good? Can you use a aquarium chiller?

THANKS!

I have a large hailea chiller designed for aquariams, but it can only go down to 4c
