I found some pics from when I had my mini fridge setup wish I could have found the pics with the temps but after a format all I had was yahoo mail saving my pics that I sent to my brother-in-law anyway I hit 4.5 on my E8400 and my temps were 23c LOAD.... not bad I think although I did fry that CPU (and my lovely OCer P5Q-E) with condensation here's where these pics come in.... yes that's vegatable oil NO it is NOT under any circumstances a good idea.... I'm still pulling oil out of expansion slots..... it's gross now all gunked up
Moral of the story.... don't be lazy with condensation proofing

Looking to mount a modded Petium 2 cooling unit onto th back of my graphics card "for teh lulz" and need suggestions as to some way of transfering heat from the back of the card to the heatsync without shortcurcuiting the card, so I'm thikig of some type of on conductive material to put between, any sugestions?

Note:
-Must be non-condictive
-Must be reasonably easy to accquire

Is anyone willing to try cooling a pc by completely submerging it in one of those "non-conductive" coolants, and seeing how that works? I'd imagine it would be quite a bit easier to clean out than mineral oil. ]]> Cooling Experiments mth91 http://www.overclock.net/cooling-experiments/603344-anybody-willing-test.html Immersion cooling http://www.overclock.net/cooling-experiments/603265-immersion-cooling.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:10:54 GMT HI, I'm new here.
anyway, I was thinking of building a submersion cooled pc that uses mineral oil and an old modified acu to cool the entire computer to subzero tempertures. I am intending to use a core i7920, 6gigs of ram, and an ati radoen 5870. any ideas? thanks! ]]> Cooling Experiments ghost55 http://www.overclock.net/cooling-experiments/603265-immersion-cooling.html Need a filter for a water cooling experiment http://www.overclock.net/cooling-experiments/601622-need-filter-water-cooling-experiment.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:52:40 GMT I am working on a little experiment with Fluid XP and distilled water and I need an inline filter to see the results.

I am working on a little experiment with Fluid XP and distilled water and I need an inline filter to see the results. I am running half inch lines so I would like a half inch filter. The other thing is that it cannot be made of aluminum or any metal that is not chrome or stainless.

I originally purchased a couple of the filters here but when I got them some of the internal pieces were aluminum, so that will not work. I realize too that these filters are not 1/2" like I said I needed, but I had some barb adapters that would have made it work.

Optimally I would like to get some clear plastic see through filters with 1/2" barbed fittings on each end, and I would like the filters to be as small as possible.

Any links or ideas would be appreciated. ]]> Cooling Experiments typoknig http://www.overclock.net/cooling-experiments/601622-need-filter-water-cooling-experiment.html Freeze or Ultra? http://www.overclock.net/cooling-experiments/600676-freeze-ultra.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:45:30 GMT Hi guys just found this OCZ thermal paste.

This is a stock (and what I believe to be) a discontinued 775 cooler.

Stupid question. Could I possibly put dry ice or LN2 in this in this concave dent in the cooler? It obviously won't function for more then a few minutes and won't cool as well as a real $700 pot, but do you guys think it would work? ]]> Cooling Experiments PhaedraCorruption http://www.overclock.net/cooling-experiments/599305-ln2-stock-intel-775-cooler.html
