I was going through and old box of computer parts and I came across the first waterblock I ever owned. Turns out it's going to serve me well again.

That was after I ran the water chiller through it for about 4 minutes and then let it sit with just the pump running for another 3 or 4 minutes.

Back when Swiftech blocks were beasts to behold.
I have an old MCW462B. Not as big or good a performer as that one, but still, I'm not going to give it up just because it's a cooling relic.
Old stuff can be cool.

i wonder if those old blocks are worth something to collectors???
I built a chiller yesterday. I need to work on making it smaller though. First I'll have to build a new fram for it. Just used a nice big platform to design it and work the kinks out.
Heh, I need to work on insulating it as well.

Heh, the only thing keeping it from getting water inside the comp was the fact that it was frozen solid
wow you like to take chances, just a little more humidity and you got drippage, all it takes is enough condensation, and to have a little melt.
Looks fun though! I still havent cooled my computer that cold to cause frost, but I have played with condensation too much. I have stuff waiting to be cooled but I still never get around to taking the chance.

Yeah, I've been lucky so far. Taking a few steps to control the condensation. I've gotten the unit down to -4C today. I can't wait to make some adjustments to see how far I can push it.

You sure are a brave man, I would be freaking out having that inside of my computer. You just waiting till you get it up and running the way you want it before you start to insulate anything and everything? Looks good so far keep us posted.

Well I am going to be building another one
This has been a pretty decent learning experience so far. I've really enjoyed the results.
