Hey all,

I have been looking into some more extreme cooling for my dual Xeon rig... reading through these forums I see a lot of mention of using a dehumidifier as a waterchiller... my question is how much heat can your avearge sears/walmart bought dehumidifier cope with?

Currently the Xeon's are running @ 3.82 Ghz overvolted to 1.65v, they are being cooled by a Swiftech Quietpower rig now... but I want to break the 4 Ghz mark.... I figure each chip is using around 140-145 watts... The one catch is these chips must run 24/7 under 100% load of Folding @ home.

Any input on using a dehumidifier for this task would be very helpful.

Thanks!
