what if i?

[lilneel12]

i just read the thread on refridgerating the reseviour and i was wondering what if i just took the fan off of the radiator(i have a jr-120) and got a container of ice and just put the radiator in ice? i would think that this would make a good difference, cause the radiator cools the water and if the radiator is ice cold, then it would cool the water a bit.

it should work, but its not a long term solution, the ice would melt and then you would need to replace the ice a lot. Also just a piece of advice no links in your sig unless its to ocforums. But yeah, your temps should improve (temporarily).

yea, the radiator in the fridge is a good idea, yea, the only problem is the melting of the ice. i tried doing it, but i didn't have enough tubiing connected to bring my radiator completely out of my case and actually lay it in the container full of ice. i put the bottom tanks into the ice, but that only made like a 1C difference if anything. but when i get a chance i will redo the tubing and completely cover the radiator in ice.
