I never knew that vapor cooling (bong cooling) was used in PC cooling. I got the idea months back and was eager to become a pioneer. Until recently, I came to know that this had been applied years ago. Well…

The idea came to me when I came to know that a friend of mine owns a water cooler (room cooler) manufacturing company. I paid him a visit and learned a thing or two.

From what I see (pics), you do not have a passive cooling setup either. It is a closed loop and hence there is not even a slightest possibility that you can vaporize the water and acquire cooling. The window is just not enough (round pipe I see in pic).

To make it passive you have to cut a piece in middle of the pipe such that you can see the water ‘shower’. The room breeze (assuming you are running a room fan) would vaporize the water.

With passive cooling do not expect much. You need a fan so that it hits at molecular level (of water). With that expect even 10 C below ambient temp.
For noise, use ping pong balls. That would spread up with water as well as reduce the splash of water.

You can use anything as well as it spreads the water for air to hit it and to reduce the splash sound of water. You can apply this to your existing setup, i.e. fan and ping pong balls.

I have a design in mind but I will share that later on.
