Dear Sir,
I know that you are not a constant member here but just visiting from OCN. I'm looking at an easier way for the chilled water thing. I have done the AIO then Multiple Custom Water Loops then Dry Ice. I'm looking at the

They range from the AMD 2xxx and up series to the Nvidia 8800 and up series. I still have all of my old basic WC equipment that I used to cool my CPU & GPU a couple of years ago. I have purchased a

I'm hoping to be able to Bench my GPU's at a lower temp than AIR but not have to go through the trouble of having to purchase\transport\store Dry Ice until I'm ready to bench. I understand that I will still have to prep the GPU's for condensation anyways. I'm not sure if this would take my setup Sub-Ambient.
Thank You For Your Time
I am a constant member here, I just don't post in every thread I look at unless I have something to add. I actually was looking at one of those earlier chillers and decided against it and went with experimenting with the peltier cooling.
The reasons I did not choose the chiller;
#1
Is plainly stated: If you open the box you cannot return it, and there's too many unanswered questions with that amount of money, to take that chance.
#2
Is even though they claim it can go down to 4c, that's with an aquarium water mass that is affected by room temperature and an aquarium light.
How does it perform from active heat load from a CPU or GPU especially overclocked?
Keep in mind this is actually an Aquarium chiller being adapted to use on a CPU.
IMO, you would be better served finding someone actually using one of these Chillers to cool their computer, and see what the results are from them.
As I have zero experience on actual use of one.
#3
Was the actual lump sum cost at the time, and what I was considering buying back then cost around $800 bucks.
#4
The noise of operating one added to the computer running.
Regarding those reasons I opted to begin experimenting with peltier cooling over 5 years ago.
The GPU water block still requires heat sinks on the Memory chips and VRs and supplying air cooling over them.
If you do go for it, please let me know what happens?
Regarding your sig it was 17 days and not lasting 17 hours.
