View Full Version : Cooling the cooling water
hi,
I am wondering if anyone has a good solution to the
following:
cooling the liquid in a water-cooled case to sub-zero degrees. And getting it all to fit in a
case.
I'm pretty crappy at coming up with practical solutions to
stuff so please help me :)

Wow man, you would have to have a BIG case. The only guy that I know that got something like that working reliably had the following setup:
Homemade CPU water block
2 resoviors
2 pumps
Water chilling unit w/ 6 72 watt peltiers
2 12v external power supplys for pelts
1 huge radiator w/ 2 120MM fans
The radiator cools the water from the hot side of the chiller. The chiller cools the water that goes to the devices to be cooled. All the tubing had to be insulated like mad since the water was "hella cold". :) If you can fit all that kinda stuff in a case, I'd like to see it. :)
You could just use a peltier on the CPU to reach sub-zero temps there.
Yea TruckChase is right you have to probably mod your case or something to get it bigger.
But I don't know if he saw the picture I saw but this guy modded his case to be sort of blue and red and he spent alot of money just to give you an example: 50USD on zip ties.
And he basically had 2 of everything and I think he still couldn't fit everything in he had to put the reservoirs in the back.
Wait I remember something coming back to me now! He had 4 reservoirs!
