DEFCON Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 for my college PC, money will be no issue. Sooooo....Vapochill or this other thing thats like prometria or something.Both are on frozen CPUAlso, anyway I can use the refrigerator cooling on VGA and northbridge as well as on CPU? Most are just for CPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdok Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Man that things a beast. Looks like a nice system, but i havent seen anything on price and from what i have read the retail versons of it are hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I would do what I did.Use a Mini fridge to chill the water and use it just like a vapochill / watrer cooling unit. Not quite as cold but darn close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Abit BE62 with a Slot "T" adapter for a Celeron 2 (Technically a Pentium 3).It is a 1.1 gig Cel 2 oveclocked to 1650mhz at 150fsb. I have 1.85 volts going in. The default is 1.5 Ibelieve.The processor is at 45deg when warmed up.It stays that way too.I did this mod in around an hour. Fridge conversion that is.It is a homemade waterblock insulated with spray foam.Simple pipe foam insulation wrapped with duct tape is around the coolant line/hoses.What you see in the fridge holding the coolant is a 6 pack cooler that is around the Freezer tray for the fridge. Coolant inside gets chilled at whatever temp you want! I do not know how low it can go. I never maxed it out.I keep the coolant at around 25deg on idle. I have had the coolant down to 10deg no problem. Just turn the fridge temp down!!!!!!!Condensation is your enemy so be carefull.!!!!!!!Vapochills cannot simultaneously cool Coke's and Beers.Now what COLLEGE Dorm room or roommate for that matter wants a Vapochill when you can have something like it that does double duty:)B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystik_MDS Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 MMMM mac that looks like duct tape is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macgyver Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Simple pipe foam insulation wrapped with duct tape is around the coolant line/hoses. Umm yes it is. Macgyver remember. No computer project is complete without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
going54 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 wait i dont get it. whats the point of cooling?? it cools down naturally so whats the pt. of a fridge?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 The fridge has an insualted 6 pack cooler around the freezer tray. It contains the coolant and pump. (Water and antifreeze). The pump cirrculates the chilled coolant to the CPU making it colder so you can put more volts into the cpu getting a higher overclock.The Mac-fridge is an inexpensive way to get really low coolant temps without the bother of a Peltier or Phasechange system.And as to Why?Because you can.

Macgyver Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Oh Flak by the way.Yes you can cool the VGU and Chipset but do not expect a lot of overclock.You cannot really up their respective voltages a lot so they do not respond as well to overclocking.Not worth the hassle imho.

Macgyver Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Ky is just jealous.He did not think of that simple way to cool your cpu. :wink: :wink: :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyamoto Musashi Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 HA! You wish... B)Soon i will start work on superconductors (maybe- i hope it wont be semiconductors, which they probably will), and THAT is better than any fridge cooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Superconductors.Ha!You'll need a better powersupply that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyamoto Musashi Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 But aint that efficient or what?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEFCON Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 hmm, well Mac, I like your idea and so do many of my friends, but I dont think my roommate would spring for it, especially with such limited dorm space. My one college provide a mini fridge in each room and I dont think they would like it if we tooled around with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 So buy another. They are around $70 or less on sale. Put it on top of the other one.Mine still holds a case of cans of your favorite beverage after the mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
