hey i was wondering about ways to get cooler water temps from a liquid cooled setup. im happy with the temps i'm running so far with my OC
(40c idle and arround 60c load for an E6420 at 3.6Ghz) but i was just curious how low i could get it. i had read about getting sub zero temps from dry ice ect.. and was wondering what would happen if i droped a chunk or 2 of dry ice into my res to cool the coolant. as far as i can reason with the cap off the ice would cool the coolant down, and as it melted co2 would be realeased, but with the cap off it would vent fine. the only problems i can think of would be co2 not venting, and freezeing the coolant, (but that would be pretty hard since its not water)
anyone have any experence?
thanks
