An Expirament Gone Extremely Well!

[SciManAl]

Hey guys, an intresting idea, i was replacing one of the fans on my radiater and though, heh, while i am waiting i will expirament, so i through the radiater into a big thing of ice and water, and i have been running everything full blast(rendering 3d movies at over 4000x3000 res) and the cpu temps keep on droping!!!

i thought that this could show the potential of my CPU block if my radiater was godly anyway i guess iam just really exited...(i will definitly be buying a little bit of liquad hydregen when i go to my uncle's house next time i visit!!1


current temps are 15.5 F vand getting cooler all the time!!!

edit= F

This doesnt seem like much of a permanant soultion though, eventually the ice melts, faster even though because the hot air from the radaitor is being transferred to it, so you would have to keep replacing the ice water.

well i know for the long run this is bad, although i would like to se how long it lasts, so far no eveident changes in ice
temps still lowering to 11.5 F
Well if the ice doesnt change soon plz email me, for i'd like to hear your theories on thermodynamics :lol:

I take it you mean 11.5C not 11.5F? Otherwise I hope you've got plenty of antifreeze in there cos it's going to freeze solid any second, then bang goes your processor. ;)

~Shhhhh Im still waiting for that. :)

You can almost hear the ticking while he works out that 11.5F is well below the freezing point of water. :lol:

yea. running ur cpu at below 0 temps r bad for the cpu. b careful not to fuk up ur cpu dude. but nice work. that's some nice temps, and dangerous temps

how can it be at 18F? have u been sticking ur head in the ice box a little too long?

Not true.......

The Mach Refrigeration Cases, run at below Zero, and it&#39;s considered the best cooling system you can get, and for 900 bucks it should be.

So I don&#39;t think it&#39;s going to hurt the chip.

i am trying to use 3x 120 mm fans(in a row, running at half power) ducted into a 80 mm radiater... very silent, but when i put my hand behind the radiater it has enough power to puch my hand away from the exhaust hehehe MORE POWER YAY&#33;&#33;&#33; :P


Al, What do you mean "three fans in a row"?

Side by side or stacked one behind the other?

You are using alcohol instead of water as the fluid medium in this system, how did the pump like the change?

I am not terribly surprised by the results of your experiment, I would expect dramatic temp drops with a near frozen radiator.
Have you considered getting a little refrigerator and putting the radiator in that?
Your results may not be as extreme as with salted, icy water, but much more sustainable.
