Does anyone know away to make your water colder? My temps for my 1.1 T-bird are 9C and thats with an 80 watt pelt and a 2cool kit. I'd like to maybe get below zero
What are your load temps... I know a 1.1Ghz TBird puts out quite a bit of heat. I tried a 111W peltier and got down to 2C or so idle, but the temps could get as high as 30C under load just because the peltier couldn't handle the heat at 1133Mhz.
If you want to lower your water temp you could have your radiator outside your window (depending on where you live). There are also "water chillers" that use peltiers to cool the water, but they are a little expensive and take a lot of power. I think www.overclock-watercool.com has some. A minifridge would probably be cheaper.

Firstly: DON'T GET A WATER-CHILLER!!!!
I blew $80 for parts and it didn't do anything for me! Bong cooler works far better. What I can't figuire out is why my cold plate had frost all over it but my core was still at 22 C idle! Using Arctic Silver, too. Ah well, my pelt is off until I find a dedicated PSU for it, but to cool your water adding ice works for a temporary fix, but I would rather get a mini-fridge and make it into a bong cooler!! My god! That's BRILLIANT!!! Somebody with a minifridge has got to try this, since the water temps will be at like 5 C...mmm, pair that with a pelt?! Awwww yeah!! Heading to paint for a design!

bong cooler sounds like the thing to do, or yopu could scrap the whole watercooling bit and use a compressor
