Ok, so here is my setup:
http://www.overclock.net/cooling-exp...ml#post4661345

I've built a shroud made out of card board that fits perfectly over the two 120mm fans sticking out of my radiator to increase the amount of air flow through the rad.

It is -8*C outside and I have all my fans at full blast for a couple minutes. I have a temperature probe inside my reservoir that measure the temperature of the water that just came from the CPU block. In the picture it shows that the temp is at a chilly 4.5*C.

Idle temp for my Q6600 is 11 for cores 1 and 2, and 3 for cores 3 and 4 (Kinda strange how its that far off, maybe lapping it would help), Load temp is just around 20 for both cores.

Some of you maybe asking why am I not overclocking the hell out of this beast. Well, my fail Q6600 has a VID of 1.325, I tried voltages up to 1.7v just to make it stable at 3.6ghz... But thankfully, I bought another Q6600 with 1.225 VID, hope that one does a lot better than my current one.

Cheers~

I didn't look at any pic other than the front one there. I have a window right by my antec 900 and I have been really thinking on setting up the cold outside are to go to my front two, or even one, fan(s). I'm in Alberta and we are in the middle of winter and it is -21 right now. I have to open my window cause for some reason this bedroom of mine is HOT so I run fan from the open window pointing to my pc and desk about 5ft away. it cools me down plus drops my cpu/gpu temps quite alot too. I fold with both cpu/gpu's so I need all the help I can get.

You should pick up some of that cheap flexible ducting and run it from your window into the intake fans of your case -21C sounds like a great opportunity to me

Looks like my summer set-up..

My summer time cooling mod with outside temps getting 32c+

I went for some cool air dropped my load temps by 5c

looks great! make sure you have your board insulated though, condensation would be real bad.

Condensation wont be an issue for him, as the air is not just cooling the pc, it is also cooling the room. Even with a direct feed like that, the odds are against any part of his pc being at or below the dew point (I'd say pretty much impossible, but never say never, right?)
