nice stuff. Making me jealous.

[Sc4mpi]

all kitted up and working. need to adjust the bolts to get both of them perfectly lined up but for now its good enough (need to give it a polish to remove the finger prints :P)

Hey guys i'm an utter newbie but as a half fast suggestion maybe u guys should try submerging your entire motherboard in non conductive liquid so it won't condense. Like submerge everything in a large cooler and have everything connected to wires leading out of a hole in the cooler. I know they sell non conductive liquid or maybe even oil will work.

[Nefilav]

Then the fluid would itself need to be sealed off to prevent it from being contaminated and therefore conductive and the fluid is 700$ a gallon and makes plastics fragile. A few hours of careful work and 10$ of neoprene insulation is simple and can be tested in a less scary way then firing up your board and seeing if its not fried while its in a tank of the worlds most expensive liquid. Everyone does the foam forts on the CPU+GPU for a reason.

Theres also this, had a nasty accident with my case and a mug of tea; typing this message out on the same rig that got soaked. Its 30$ a can and is enough for more then 1 mobo even double coated on both sides.


Maybe I can add my butt ugly AC chiller to this thread once I am done.
edit:Just saw Sc4mpi's rig and it is amazing...does it consistently stay above dew point?

Very nice and clean, Sc4mpi.

That is does

These are some really nice, powerful water chillers.
I need an AC unit my water dispenser chiller I just modified only goes to about -2C no load.

I think there are some supercomputers that do that...

[Nagaru]

Tom's Hardware did something similar althought they weren't going for performace, but silence. http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/01/..._out_the_fans/

A/C Chiller. This project has been put on hold. This is as far as I got with it.

[ruffus]

can some one tell me what to use as coolant can i just use car antifreeze or will that eat away my hose or water pump and if so can i use it straight or do i have to mix it with water

Here are pics of mine ... it isn't already ready

Overclocking.... or not!

Just one question: what waterpumps do you use with your waterchillers?

[Flow]

I'm using Laing DDC+ ...

[N3RO]

Any issue with low temps?

what do you use? water or methanol?

I use water ... but the chiller chills the water only down to 10°C

[AliG]

well, what did you expect, waterchillers aren't designed to take the water to below 0c because of condensation for one thing, and the whole freezing point thing as another. If you want to go below 0, you'll have to either use soemthing crazy like liquid nitrogen and use copper tubing instead of plastic to prevent extreme condensation from happening. That's why many people use phae changes instead for extreme cooling, that, or if you know the problems with tec and how to combat them, you could try that out instead and that should get you below 0, but as long as you are getting good cpu:water temps, I wouldn't worry about it

[n00b 0f l337]

AliG i suggest you use more reading, and actally look thru the rest of the chiller gallery.

I must most strenuously disagree, good sir! Water chillers are, more often than not, intended to operate at temperatures well below 0*C. Yes, additives are needed in the coolant, and yes, insulation is a concern, but a chiller can be a very effective way to reach cold temps on multiple components, ie a CPU and a GPU. I myself am in the process of assembling parts for a chiller that will sustain a 400 watt load (CPU+GPU+NB) at -30*C, or colder. I'd like to see a direct die unit try that!

And i want to cool dual Quad-core Xeon machine -2CPUs + chipset. Plus i want to isolate MB compartment and chill the air inside, to avoid condensation. 500-600W total.
The goal is to reach -70C or lower

Whoa damn that is going to take a LOT of electricity.

[Cronos]

Thats why i want highest efficiency possible.
So, no captubes and no ridiculously small condensers. Best efficiency compressors.

[Starkiller42]

Cronos, are you the mystery customer for Drewmiester's new 3/4hp chiller over at EOCF?

It sounds eerily familiar...

[Xeon th MG Pony]

-70 is a waste of energy for a large unit IMO For such a server system you will get good efficiency at 0C for a given capacity
