Basically a water chiller that uses a compressor. Because people in the UK and Spain could not compete with the Finns or those that live in Romanian mountains. Never makes the water go below zero.
Then people were also discussing oil/water blends, like ethylene glycol+water, in combination with a chiller.
Basically slush is ok, water chiller is erring on the line, and chiller plus liquid blends is a no-no. Requires some trust as well.

So if I’m reading this right, you live here, a little anti-freeze in your loop and your benching is ok.

If I take an AC unit, cool the air to -20c to replicate a place like Stanley and run it through my rads and across the MB in a closed loop system, it’s not. Damn the cold weather folks have it made in the Enthusiast League.

For me ATI is the frustrating one, driver usually never recovers OR it does but locks the frequencies, and swapping drivers is not doable without a cleaner of some sorts.

Only if you do water, on Air it's not that much of a deal. Benching with a winter jacket and DELTAs in your face at a room temp ~3C is not fun I'm telling you biggrin.gif
Already getting low 13C in the morning, hopefully winter comes faster.

Poparamiro has ambients of 2C, which means his cards (with deltas or Sanyo Aces) idle at 5C. I can't compete with that.

I did that last year with a UK OC Event just after christmas. Rain and hail outside, in a big hall with doors open, had four layers on. Got nice overclocks though. Want to do it again this year, but this christmas I'm in Romania... without my gear. frown.gif

Edit: Just picked up another uber 4870x2. Time to go crazy on the rankings when I get my other out of storage.

When I first started playing at Ocing use to pipe air from outside through my box but dumped in the room, had all most 2 weeks of -1c weather, fully dressed, heavy coat and a large cup of coffee. Room would get about 4 or 5c with the vent closed. The only problem was the door was right opposite the thermostat so the rest of the house would be in the high 20s’, which kind of made my wife mad. Learned to drop a blanket at the bottom of the door real quick.

Was looking at this:

http://www.overclock.net/t/1303230/uk-fs-1-3hp-water-chiller-350/0_100

all I'd need is a small res, tubing and a waterblock... Though it does err on the line

I've been thinking about water chillers for a while too. It shouldn't be a problem on the bot I think; it's not like you can go sub-zero. I wonder how efficient that is though.

On my end, I keep going back to Mindchill's TEC chillers; the only thing stopping me is cost since I'll need at least two (that's US$400) and a controller. At that price point, it seems that getting a pot and DICE is a more cost-effective alternative.
