I am still tweaking a dual mini-fridge setup, which so far seems to work extremely well. I only wanted to go fridge if the system could keep up with a 100% loaded high-end (currently) CPU 24/7.
Using one fridge was do-able, but eventually (2 days under full load, fridge running 75 min. / off 15) the temps were comparable to the fridge-less setup.
Using an additional fridge has allowed me to lessen the run-time of each compressor, and lower the temps.
So far, Prime95 X2 has been running about 8 hours, with h20 temps starting around ambient, and FALLING the entire time.
It looks like its beginning to stabilize at around 35c / full load.
50.5c full load w/out fridges.
Question is, what are thoughts on "appropriate" compressor cycle times ?
Currently I have one fridge running 45 minutes / off 15. Other is set to On 30 / 0ff 15.
I plan on doing quite a bit of experimentation...
Any thoughts based on experience with compressors or similar setups ??
Thanks,
