fridge mod

res0r9lm · 04-04-2002, 11:48 PM

anybody have an idea of how many btu's the average fridge is or how many watts of heat it will handle? I wanting to cool 4 cpu's I have a old a/c unit and I believe that is a little over the top.

depends on the cpu's, if you give us the speed, type, voltage of each cpu, we can find how many watt's you'll need.

You'd be looking at something in the 1/3HP range though I think

should be around 450 watts between the 4. I haven't got all the cpu's yet right now I have a tbird @ 1654 vcore of 1.95 105w and a duron @ 1010 vcore 1.92 but all I need to get another system up and running is a board and cpu. probly i'm going to stick with the 3 for the time being but would like a little headroom so I would able to add one more board to the equation maybe a dually later down the road.

yeah, 1/2 or 1/3 would be fine.

You'd need to have the evaporator in a body of water, cooling the water down, and 4 pumps in it, pumping water to each cpu
