This is a scavenger build with some odds and end parts i had laying around.
The pumping box layout before it was finalized. The white sheets are insulation with decent sound damping qualities to reduce pump noise. It has a key on-off feature. The key can NOT be removed with the pump off. It can be removed with the pump off.
LoL don't worry its not really a heater i there.
The garbled mess as I am testing in my computer.
GM Micro Channel "heat" coil. Used to dissipate the thermal energy efficiently.
Call this one the ambientnator, used to keep the coolant a constant ambient temperature. Its 3/4 copper tubed standard finned radiator. Got a little window fan pulling air across it.
This is my reservoir tank. Its a simple old fish water filter canister. Have the tubes bent in it to keep the water swirling. This should force the debris (if any) to sink. It pick ups the coolant for the pumping station about 1/3rd the way up tank.
Modded Corsair lines. I left the originals on the cpu heat plate, these where factory tested and approved, to cut them was just adding additional risk.
Right now at 75*F amb. With all 8 cores running at 100%, OC to 3.9 ghz (3.1ghz oem) for 24 hours, core temps where stable at 140-139.8. Max core voltage, 1.587v under load, 1.350v idle.
The future of this is to also cool any heat sinks, maybe coil over the hdd and do my next graphics card(s). Also planning on putting the original corsair radiator inside the case to help lower internal temperatures.
I chose Dex-Cool over every thing else..
I have done a 1 year study on major automotive coolants at work, ford gold, Dex-cool, the green ****. I have found that Dex-Cool was hands down the winner in thermal protection, freeze over, corrosion protection.
The green **** came in a distant 2nd. With the thermal protection being the base to test against.
Ford Gold came in 3rd. Although out performs the green **** in thermal protection for heat, under freezing conditions of water, it became viscous with a canola oil like consistency. It also allowed the copper to "brown up", where as the other 2 kept it shiny.
All coolants kept Aluminum, Steel, Burnt Steel (blue steel) Brass corrosion free.
