Off the wall cooling set up or pelt????

Mr. T · 01-25-2002, 01:25 PM

I want to seriously cool my processor. I’m considering two options right now. Below I have a chezzy pic I made in Paint of option number one. The other is a pelt. I’ve herd of people having not so good results from pelts and bad experiences, that’s why I’m considering this other solution.

What this is, is an air conditioner, rad, and pump in a box out side on my porch. I’ve reed a frig won’t work because it cant be running 24/7 but I’ve seen AC run 24/7. When it’s cold out side fans labeled “B” are turned on (to save energy). When it’s not cold those wholes are closed and the AC is on. The diagram should pretty much explain the rest. This set up would take about 15 feet of 1/2 inch hose. For the pump I plan on using an Eheim 1250 Pump - 317GPH. How cold would the AC get the box/water? Is it crazy enough it just might work? Will the pump work in cold weather?

Or should I go with a pelt or pelts?

why not duct in the outside air? instead of taking your water all the way outside and into an expensive and nickable looking box to cool it.

or you could just use the ac on your inside air , have a quiet ac unit near your computer and duct the exaust air over the rad.

I wouldn't go to all that worry, a pelt is probably easier for 95% of people, unless you have a cpu producing over 140w, then you will need to go to water, refridgeration or something like that
