Cooling the reservoir

[Mr wizard]

I've got the koolance pc2-601 case.Any recomdations on cooling the reservoir? Ex.heatsinks,fans,ect.The dual pumps have a flow rate of 1030cc/min.I've noticed that it gets warm when I let it run for 24+hrs.

ok what you would want there are 2 differant types i know of.

the 1st is a water chiller. it goes inline with your hosing. water goes threw and is chilled by a peltier on top with a heatsink and fan on it. its pretty efficient from what i remember reading. im almost posative ive seen one onlline somewhere. not sure on price.

second plan is to remove top of resivour and place a heatsink 3/4 the way in upside down. put a pelt on it and another heatsink and fan. this is alot more ugly and dangerous in my book. and dont suggest that.

just remember chilling below room temp can most times create condinsation. gotta take many precoutions. unless u love new cpu prices! hehee

the res is warm because it is full of water that has just come from the cup/hard disk graphics card ect. it is ment to be warm, cooling it will not make a difference because the koolance case has a good radiator. it will also invalidate your warenty if you cut the res

The pump itself also give off heat. I was thinking of cutting a hole in the res and put a hsf there is seal the hole. Using the hsf to cool the water, but then it kinda kill the effect of having a quiet pc

I had checked out inline water chillers last year, and they are prohibitively expensive. At the time, the cheapest I recall finding was around $700.
I also tried using a copper waterblock and peltier to chill the water as soon as it came out of the case(before the reservoir), and saw bo benefit to it at all. I believe the flow rate was too quick for the pelt to have any advantage.
