Crazy water cooling idea - Page 3

Pre spiral the soft copper tub around a pipe of slightly larger diameter.

Then thread on to cold water main. Now pull and twist the soft copper tight to the cold water main use a few gear clamps to hol it tightly.

Becaue of the spiral, when you pull and twist it will naturally tighten on to the cold main. Something like a chinese finger puzzle.

For a system like that, you don't want a radiator. You want what is called a "Plate Heat Exchanger".

The main benefit of this device is to keep 2 sets of dissimilar fluids (in this case, distilled water with a biocide, and your normal house water) in different parts of the loop). That way you don't have to worry about a complex filter system before the water hits your computer water blocks.

You run with a simple pump, reservoir, and distilled water on one side of the "Plate Heat Exchanger" and on the other side, you attach it to the cold water line of your house.

I've actually thought of building a computer cooling system using that and one of these ...
