Finnaly got my chiller working!
Finally got my chiller working! I have some pics here
My water temp is currently set to -9.3 to -2.9 as regulated by the freezer thermastat. The unit is on/off equal amounts of time with a 100% load. But my room seems to heat up. I may try for colder temps in the future.
Here's the setup:
1/2Hp compressor
Custom Res with 2 x ViaAqua 1300 pumps
These pumps pump into a Y with 1/2" input and 5/8" output.
At the computer, another Y from 5/8" to 1/2", first loop for CPU, second loop for Video and NB. Then they join back into 5/8 for the trip back to the res.
The CPU temps are -3 to +2 no load, and +3 to +6 loaded.
The NB is also chilled, but could only get the back of the motherboard temps (~12C).
My Radeon died for no reason. Could be the new MB (changed from Asus P4B533-E to Gigabyte SINXP). I am all setup to chill the video card also if ATI gives me a new one?
I control the fan speed with a light dimmer so the sound level is around 35db (educated guess based on hearding 35db fans). When the unit is off, the PC is almost silent!
Now for my Video card!
