Not if you went below the frost line, Al.
The temp down there stays remarkably stable summer or winter, which is why that set up would be very effective.

That's not the point Al.
It's the differential between your heat source and the medium that you are transferring into that matters.
Think about it...if a standard water cooling rig is effective using a radiator in normal room temperature air, then it would be even more effective if the transfer material was even colder ( like 60 degree ground).
Oui?

If you do this properly Al, the season won't matter.
That's the beauty of a system like this.
I have seen heatpump/underground radiator systems used for the heat/cooling for houses ( I knew watching This old House would pay off eventually) and they are weather independent. The conditions are pretty stable six feet underground.

Hmm, that just reminded me.
If I ever move into a place with an unused well, I am SO using it as my watercooling hookup.
