New (or noob??) project just started....
Got phase changing system complete from a 6 foot chest freezer (courtesty of local tip/scrap) and took to it with a crowbar, pliers and a set of tin snips.
4 hours later (after alot of bleeding from the hands
) the whole system was removed from the chest without discharging the R12!!!!! (There's 88 foot of evap coil in that bastard thing!)
Looking at the cooling coil, I guessed I'd have to cut it down to size, but me being very skint (and lazy) I thought I would just fold it all up and avoid paying for a recharge. Finally got the whole lot down into an old scuba kit box after alot of bending. The tubing resisted kinking remarkably well!
Any how.......
Filled it up with tap water and 1 litre of glycol and set it off running about 30 minutes ago. I don't have any temps at the mo (left temp probe in work
) but it's icying up good and propper. (And before anyone starts ranting about the use of tap water, this is only for testing, when I'm happy with it I'll replace it with distilled, K?!!)
My question is, which waterblocks to mate it all up to? I'm putting it all onto a P4 1.8a and Geforce 4 Ti4200, no pelts, but I am looking for some out-of-the-box insulation for both blocks (like the Swiftech). This P4 will already do 2749MHz on air without and VMODs, but I am hoping for a few more Hz. Comming in the post shortly is an Eniem 1260 and a dosen or so meters of 1/2" hosing.
