Hey guys!
Somebody from my other thread said, I should come here.
So basically I started a Cedarmill OC project (this is my first serious OC project) and I'd have a question.
So I've never used anything else than aircooling, but I'll definitely want to change that. So first I'll test all of my CPUs with air to see which are the better chips. After a time, I'll want to start with a water-chiller thingy.
So the main idea: I'll build a normal custom loop with an extra rad. I'd put this extra rad in a mini freezer, and pour water, antifreez and ice in it. Would this concept be able to reach below ambient temps?
I also tought about pre-cooling antifreeze or something like that to circualte it in the loop. So overall, what about this two concepts together? What could it achieve?
Also somebody in the other thread had a really cool idea: In winter, I could put the whole frezzer-rad thingy out at night, to have a much lower amibent temperature.
Of course I saw that direct-die phase change systems are more powerful than this, but I didn't really like that thing, it's too confusing for me, and also it's a littlebit too costly for me, since I'm a college student.
After a year or so I'll want to try dry ice as well, because it's relatively easy to get and the whole setup isn't too hard either.
