You usually want to use a radiator to cool your water.


Refridgerating your water I THINK can be pretty dangerous for your computer, because if the water goes below DEW point tempuratures it will cause condensation and this could fry your comp..

However if you properly insulated required components (don't ask me which) I think you could probably get away with it.

I'd be interested in something like this as well, if anyone can explain.

Welcome to the forums. I use to use a pelt with mine to get my temps down to 9C. After I started using watercooling and the pelt I blow three video cards and a motherboard cause of condensation.

cutting a hole in the res and putting a pelt with heatsinks on both sides will cool the water, but a bong or radiator will do a better job

Thanks for the help.
I guess I'd rather have warm temps than dead parts!

If you really want to watercool you might want to look at the Koolance cases. As far as I know they don't get cold enough for condensation to form. But it will keep you CPU nice and cool.
