Bump.......is anyone here?

rhino56 · 05-30-2005, 12:28 PM

holy smokes,

i want to come over your house and learn about this stuff.
thanks for the pics, im looking forward to seeing how this is done.

Yep....the totaly adjustible temperature, cold monster will be born.....mwuahahah

Edit; oh I didn't get my 25 gallon aluminum tank in the pics....lol
Well it just looks like a big aluminum cube anyway...

Just curious...why on earth would you need 4x 350w TEC's running at the same time? Got a quad CPU rig? That's what I want...quad a64's on chilled WC+TEC

i dunno, but i would guess SLI + CPU + NB

No multi processor here but it will be multi processor capable. 3 of the 350 watt tecs will be sandwitched between 2 very large water blocks, you can see the tec and water block assembly in one of the pics. I plan to cool the cpu, gpu and nb.

The 4th tec will cool the mainboard compartment, isolating the mainboard from other sources of heat. Cooling the mainboard compartment will lower the dew point and reduce the risk of condensation.

i want to see this in action. here is a video of me running -0 temps with no condensation inside my case.

I've been doing some benchtop tests, it looks like I will be running the 3X tec assy in series because of the voltage drop across the rectifiers. I've had no luck at all running the transformers in series because the voltage drops to 8 volts and then with the diode loss it's unacceptable.

My project is now put on hold for 3 weeks because I will be moving but the good news is... I was able to maintain ambient temps on the hot loop (hot side of the 3x tec assy) for over 4 hours with my 25 gallon aluminum tank as a resivior.
I have not yet set up a case with the mainboard compartment insulated. I'm still installing the psu components in an old antec case, a second mid sized case mounted above that will house all of my pumps and tec assembly, the laing D4 pump (for the cold loop) has still not arrived.

where are you moving? that is such a pain to have to do.
