Watercooling using A/C

smm2k · 11-02-2003, 09:52 AM

hi all,
I have a few months until summer to construct a watercooling sytem fo my comp.

The main reason my comp runs hot is that the room temp hits 36 cel frequently in summer, so i will be buying a "library quiet" a/c.

So i though to my self:
I could use a barbed coiled copper tube 3ft (with tygon from the cpu and gpu blocks) instead of a fan/rad, and put the coil in the very cold water colletion basket under the a/c.

Of course I will have to use 3M conformant on the mobo.

I could also port some of the cold a/c air into the comp to cool the rest of the components.

Does anyone here have experience with a/c water/air computer cooling?

I'd like to hear about your setup.
thanks
