Hi...
I'm planning to build a custom liquid cooling system for my computer. I have been considering many things over the last couple of days and from all the ideas I've had this one seems to be decent but I need some feed back. Basically instead of a radiator and fan setup I'll use the regular pump+waterblocks+hoses+reservoir way, and in place of the rad I'd like to do this....
-buy a small cooler and drill holes on the sides
-construct a copper coil made out of copper tubing and mount it into the cooler with one end coming out of one hole and the other out of the other hole
-place dry ice into the cooler,be it either straight dry ice or a combination of ice and dry ice (toxicity reasons)
-close the cooler ^__^
-then when everythings assembled run coolant (alcohol or car coolant) through this contraption using it in place of a rad to keep the liquid cold as a witches teet!(preferbly car coolant as I've heard alcohol can eat through a pumps seals and such)
btw the pump i'm using is a 350gph pump...
my main question is if this method is going to cool the coolant too much to the point where its too thick for the pump to handle or will clog in the copper piping.
and other suggestions or commen ts would be apprieciated...
Thanks
