Thread Starter 
WARNING
Building and modifying refrigeration systems is DANGEROUS and can be highly ILLEGAL, the EPA provides for up to $35,000 a day in fines for illegal activity!

A Brief Introduction to Phase Change Cooling

Phase Change Cooling is a way of moving heat from one area to another, it is accomplished by continuously circulating, evaporating, and condensing a fixed supply of refrigerant in a closed system.

FAQ:
Q1. Are extremely low temperatures harmful for CPUs?
A1. No. As long as the chip and board are properly insulated, the cold will not harm them. (This is actually up for debate... I will post when we have a winner.)

Reserved. This is a huge work in progress.


Please post as many links, build logs, stores, FAQ's, or anything else that could be put in this thread.

Anything that is blank is because I don't have links or haven't gotten around to putting them in, so help filling these in would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I'm still working on getting the formatting consistent, but I did notice a few dead URL's already. Hopefully I can find the correct ones again.

Is there any way you could help me send me the links to your tools guide, and any other build logs or guides of yours I haven't posted. You are definitely the master, so any of your input would be greatly appreciated
