u got a bum core? or u just not pushing it?

NuebieN said:When my compressor overheated, I read the amps on it when it started back up with my amprobe. It was like 1.2. It's rated for .8 amps. I put two 120 mm 85 cfm fans on it and it went back down to like .85 amps. (Higher the temps, higher the pressure, harder the compressor has to work, higher the amps) I took of the fans off and it stayed the same. I put a house fan on it, stayed the same. I took everything off of it and it went back up.
Point I'm trying to make is it will probably be fine as long as you got some air moving on it. To make sure, I would put an amprobe to test it. You could end up killing the compressor if it worked to hard for too long.
You can get your wattage by using Radiate;NuebieN said:
I'll try to answer that the best I can. I'm not sure how I am supposed to know how many watts (heat?) my cpu is producing. Please explain. But my temps go down to about 12-13c and stay there. I would really like to know how you're getting yours down to -2c. I'm still tweaking things so maybe I'm not that far off. Also keep me updated on that on core evaporator.

I have a write-up at http://www.overclockers.com/tips777/
It's an ordinary fridge but is R12 based. I have also found a very interesting refrigerant called R411B details of its specs can be found at; http://www.greencool.co.uk/
I have used 2x80mm fans on the compressor and have it running at about 40C but had not problems with it overheating. It runs about 14 hours a day. The coolant stabilises at -17C. The addition of the antifreeze really reduces the thermal transfer. Was running 10C difference between the coolant and core temp with plain water and now running 15C with the mixture.
Dude.. been waiting for someone to ask about my setup.i have a multi-meter, but im not to sure of an amprobe? u got a pic of one? my meter is pretty good, im sure it cost my moms bf a good couple pennies..
can i ask something?? whats the point of having ur temps at -2 and 12 when u cant OC ur cpu to get it anywhere near 20 c or 30 c i mean if u could OC a 1.2 to 2.0 then i can understand all this but ur geting 12 c i mean was it really worth all this a CPU will run really good at 35c under 30 is really overkill or is there a resson behind all this.. i think u have all got what i think i might be geting where u build it and u get about 7 c lower temp then u think well if i add another 120 mm fan in there maybe i can lower my case temp and get my cpu 3 c lower.. even though 37 c is just fine..

And you KNOW how much I hate to take pictures.
This is my amprobe/multimeter. U can buy a cheap amprobe for about 30 bucks I think
NuebieN said:Not at all.. And that was sarcasm about taking pictures.

Welp gonna crash now. It's 3:12 am here and I'm tired. Glad I could help.
