I fixed a freinds PC tonight, and got chatting with a guy I hadn't seen for a while round there. This guy fixes vending machines, and talking about my watercooled rig and how I'd missed out on a dehumidifier being chucked out for the dump that another freind spotted before me...
So, to get to the point, the guy that fixes up all the chillers out of vending machines has tons of spares and can gas up a system I make myself. Sounds good no? OK, so my question is; I have two 220W pelts, a dual 2ghz Athlon system, and I'm currently making a waterblock for the northbridge. I'm thinking that making a chiller to cool the water is going to be the best option when I stick my pelts on sometime soon (only watercooling at the moment). Any advice on what problems anyone's had or suggestions are welcome. I want to make this a work of art or showpeice now, as I'm fairly good with a blowtorch / soldering iron, metalwork and electronics. Current temps with my waterblocks are 35c idle and about 40c load with ambient temps about 20-23c in the room, and case temps of around 30c. The waterpump is going to be a 1250, tubing will be innovatek 9.5mm I/D, and an innovatek dual120mm fan radiator (drool here
)
cheers guys...
