It's awesome to see y'all with real vapor-phase cooling! I'm hoping that you will be kind to the overview I sent to Joe. Perhaps it will stimulate more people to join the refrigeration bandwagon if they know how it works and the basics behind rolling their own solution. Even better, start more conversation on how yours works and how you tweaked it to perform at its maximum!
Anyone use R-12 or propane instead of R-134a? How about die-hard CO2 or hard-core nitrogen systems? Anyone using cascaded (dual or triple!) loops? Who made a custom evaporator to directly cool the CPU core? Can it compare to a larger evaporator which uses a larger surface area to cool a liquid such as water or methanol or antifreeze (or mixtures of the above) ? Anyone actually use methanol instead of antifreeze for the improved thermal properties?
