Japanese Racecar Radiator cooled SLI Setup

[Zenjirou]

Owner of a fan company told me that PWM's are bad for these type of fans, and will have ticking noise and shortens life of motor.

He also explained how most Controllers just use resistors/POTS to lower speed of fan, and udervolting does not conserve power, because takes more current to maintain rpms at the lower speed


No clue how much truth is in that, but anyways, just ordered Lates from J-mag.

Interesting news. But, don't you mean "Yates"?

[ReD.SkY]

Late Yoons or Yate Loons.....

DAMN DISLEXIC PEOPLE!!!

have you ever thought of using a floor fan for that car rad?

Why not use a AC unit?

Why not use a AC unit?

Because this is xTreme h20 cooling. Using mechanical energy only to move air and liquid in such ways to cool your pc as close to Ambient as possible without resorting to Refridgeration practices.

W00t!!
I love that
Thats real Xtreme WC

I challenge you zenjirou, with my MD-30RT + Reserator 1 with top blow fan + single 120cfm 120mm blackice + Dual Blackice III with SIX 120 mm 80cfm fans OUTDOOR!!!
i know it is no contest against your car rad, but we will see how well it goes
pics coming soon, i need some help from you with the pump setup thou

[Zenjirou]

pass-through piece for rear 80mm fan mount to sepearte internal and external tubing to prevent problems from accidental pulling of tubing while setting up, or moving radiator. Has holes for cables comming into PC Chasis from radiator (pump, fans , etc)

I just moved my comp in front of an AC vent and I get like 26c idle, 34 load with koolance 601b. Lol

AC Vents rock it hardcore.

true. but why not just make it Xtreme Cooling instead of Xtreme h2o cooling.
better performance is what being Xtreme is all (mostly at least right?) about.

How did you manage to get one for $75?
Koyo radiators go for like $300.
Junkyard?

Serious problem with my choice of fans. I feel kind of stupid now that I have these. These fans are perefect except for one thing. When using only a couple of these its no problem, but with many of them it adds up. The power usage of these fans is around 11 Watts at 12V, they consume .9Amps each when at 130cfm

If I run these at 5v, they will still eat 5W each, thus if I use 16 of them I will be consuming 80W of power!


In contrast, if I used Late yoons at 5V, my total power usage would be
24W of Power


I overlooked this; I'll have to thest with multimeter its wattage at silent levels. I really hope they consume around 2 Watts each, otherwise using these fans will consume more power than its worth

You could build a rectifier to get 120v dc from the wall and just run all those fans in series.

thanks for the link slicey


These would be perfect, being only 200cfm's they would be silent. too bad they are 24V fans.

I think I'im getting impatient :p
I'm going to remove the temporary cooling box and connect the koyo as it is right now and use huge fan with cardboard shroud until real should is made.
I do knot know if changing the radiator can help overclocks, as hardware fails/passes in superPI within a few seconds, too fast for water too heat up. Eitherway Overclcoks seem to be at its maximum at 3.15 on opty 146 and 703Mhz on 7900Gtx

ALL compouter suplies have a -12V Buss what does 12V + (-12V) equal in electronic terms? = 24Volts So you and every one ells who has a spar PSU all ready have 24V and a 10V bus at your finger tips (5V + (-5V) = 10V)

He was 1000% Honest with you and truth full. The axial computer fans us the hall effect to spin ie they watch for a pulse within them selfs, now obviously pulsing the power will mess up its internal pulse sensor.

They use an RC circuit as the Pulse timer to coordinate with the Hall, now if you sub the resister with a pot you can synchronize all the fans. This is where they get the tach from as well, by watching the hall transistor.

Been following this thread with great interest. I'm going to have to replace the stock rad in my car with a Fluidyne or PWR eventually, so when I saw a Koyo rad cooling a computer I was very impressed!

Anyhow, I guess you've already moved on from finding an Automotive fan but the most popular aftermarket rad fans are from Flex-a-lite or FAL fans for sport compacts. Here's their website http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/electric-fans.html

Funny thing though, the stock fan shroud on my vehicle has been shown time and time again to be more efficient than these electric fan.

If I wasn't a total newb to watercooling, I'd consider finding a car radiator for passive watercooling as well. My HTPC is in my theatre room, and the A/V wires come through a wall from an unfinished room. I want to setup a slient watercooling system where the radiator and pump is located in the other room.

Haha, dang.... talk about bringing back from the dead!!!!!

But this is a very cool rig Zenjirou!! Excellent job there m8!
