Condensation ,Insulation (pics)

EvilTool · May 22, 2004

I have two water blocks hooked up to a water bath . Well the coldest I can go without condensation forming on the blocks is 17C . I would like to insulate the blocks so water doesnt drip on any of my PC parts . Is there a guide or any pre made parts that I can use ? Ive included some pics of what the blocks look like at 1.0C.

you are gonna have to insulate those hoses too because they will drip on your stuff.

If I remember right DD usually has block insulation kits for their blocks. Double check their site thye may have a precut kit for you.

For TEC's yea...

Your going to have to use neoprene or pipewrap or foam or something and cut it your self and stick it on somehow.

Is that a watercooled PSU? Good luck insulating that.

Thanks for the replys , Devil_909 I'm definatley planning on insulating those hoses. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to do it ?

DOH, I cant believe I missed the precut insulation at Dangerdens site. Thanks for the heads up wannaoc.

To answer your ? afireinside about it being a water cooled PSU . The answer is no, that box in the pics is my water chiller but it sure does look like a PC. I'm actually thinking about painting it to match my PC.

What are you using to cool the water?

Nico3k · May 29, 2004

what water chiller is that? how much, where, more info please. thanks!

EvilTool · May 31, 2004

It's called a water bath . You can buy them from most places that sell Lab equipment.

Nico3k · May 31, 2004

hehe cool i like how your MBM MHz guage is all the way over the redline

also, can I get the model number of your waterbath please. i looked around and there are very expensive ones for like 1000$. How much was yours? Thanks!

zeroKlvn · May 31, 2004

EvilTool, I'm guessing there is a peltier unit inside this bath? How powerful is it, and what kind of temps are you getting?
-zero

EvilTool · May 31, 2004

Nicko3k, I didnt even notice the MHZ redline but I think it does that even when its not OCed. one place for water baths Mines not listed here anymore since its about 10 years old. I would suggest these or Neslab's both are very good with alot of options.

zeroKlvn, It uses a compressor not pelts. This thing can pretty much handle any load I throw at it and stay stable. You asked about temps water or CPU ?

Nico3k · May 31, 2004

ahh i see. looks good.
i didn't even realize that in your pic; i thought it was a computer and the chiller was just that little box. Makes sense now

so how much did you pay for yours? looks expensive!

EvilTool · May 31, 2004

I rebuilt it so it was under 150$.

I used foam insulation tape. I bought from a local HVAC shop. I used up a single 25' roll in the process.

Around the socket I used neoprene foam that I purchased from Dangerden and plenty of dialetric grease.

How much seems reasonable to pay for a water chiller designed for your PC? How cold would u really want it?
