Ok so me and my bro were talking..
about fish tanks and using one as a reservoir - well.. He says it will be great and help keep the water cool - "why do you think they have heaters ? those things get cold" and I'm like..
"uh y ea...I guess so. "
I'm convinced it would help a little bit at least... so I figure, why not find something small tank thats a galon or two or five or something, and use it as a reservoir to see... Problem is
Will something that small work ? or should I use at least a 10 gallon.
and Would it be easy to fasion a air/water tight lid for this sucker ?
I don't care for the idea of dying from water wetter exposer.. (lol ?) .. god knows it almost knocked my out last time I changed my water.
lastly
Will this even "work" how I am thinking ? I mean it makes sense to me at least - colder water... colder temps or at least more stable temps.
Also he threw around the idea of not needing a radiator - or submerging the radiator in a fish tank full of water... I however am not convinced either of those methods can withstand and continuosly dissipate the heatload of my CPU.. (It's only a Duron O/C'ed to 933 but still......)
Debunk me or tell me "cool this works" or something !!
