[O/C]Midi-Fridge to Cyrocooler

From 2003, just starting a discussion thread after updating some HTML.

Turn a dorm fridge into a Cryo CPU cooler - ÖZGÜR BASGUT (aka Efendisiz)

Hi to all Overclockers and Overclockers.com Admins!

I am a 25 year old metallurgical engineering student who lives in Istanbul, TURKEY. I'm addicted to overclocking for a long time, but for some reason I always wanted the extreme. I dealt with lots of heatsinks, fan models and lots of mods, but the best I can get is a few degrees above room temperature. This annoyed me a lot, so I decided a design a setup for sub zero cooling.

... Return to article to continue reading.

It should be noted that this is from 2003, and this solution is VERY unlikely to work well on modern systems with the current heat output of CPUs and GPUs.

Ahh gotta love the good 'ol days of the REAL extreme cooling! Great blast from the past! :thup:

Very good read, Shame about the guys father tho

That's glorious!
You need an AC unit to do the same now, but it still works great.

I totally remember reading that when it first came out

Very innovative, great to see how people use creativity to meet their need, well done

I noticed the author of the article used neoprene to insulate the block itself, could you instead substitute a thick layer of rubberized undercoating?

I wonder why they coat it with tin (Sn, not Sb, by the way) when tin itself is also toxic. Unless it's just the organostannane compounds that are toxic...

</nitpick>

yeah I just wish something like that would kickass on an i7

Bobnova · Jan 3, 2011

As I understand it tin itself is non-toxic.
I'm hardly a bio guy though.
