Ive heard of people simply putting icecubes (made out of distilled water) into their res. Maybe, if you have a setup with some other type of liquid, make an internal res for the liquid, and an external res you can empty/refill with normal ice?

Just using ice on a normal loop will probably lead to condensation depending on humidity, maybe leading to a short. I've seen people use phase cooling for sub zero 24/7 setups, but I don't now much about that, other than it can be expensive.

  • The trick to flying is to fall and miss the ground
To cool the water you will need a chiller.

You can buy an aquarium chiller or you could build one yourself. Two options are TEC based (high power draw) or phase change based (possibly noisy).

If you go for TEC based you will need a second loop to cool the hot side of the TECs. I think there are pre-built TEC heat exchangers available, not sure.

Phase based needs a phase change cooler. Essentially you submerge the cold plate in the res, although there is a bit more to it than that.


An easier option is to put a TEC on the CPU. Cooling the water takes a lot of work, but chilling the CPU is fairly easy. You can even buy a TEC water block and controller pre-made. Send a PM to Mindchill or check out his store.

The problem with a mini fridge is it will constantly run and may not be able to keep up.
