Swiftech MCP655-B....please tell me it will withstand the temperatures, and the washer fluid.

[Hondacity]

some guys with chilled water had that pump runnin @ -30c

you'll be fine

[Kal-EL]

flow rate goes to crap on the swiftech under sub-zero but see what you can get bro

Thanks Hondacity.

But what would be a better pump to get for sub-zero? I could just use the Swifty for the gpus.

I'd like to figure out how to chill that radiator for the gpus just a little so I don't get any frost or wetness, but gpus stay nice and cool.

How about this..........cut a hole in the top of my chiller lid to mount my radiator in, 1 fan blowing in and 1 blowing out. EDIT: I could have them both blowing out if I made some air vents around the lid. Then it would maybe get a little colder than it got on the front of the a/c.....ya think? And the compressor would probably run a little bit more

How much of an effect would that have on my cpu temperatures? Pretty much none I bet.

What do you think of my plan? or

Air circulation works in two ways...

When the air is colder than XXX it cools XXX if the air is warmer than XXX it warms XXX

If you go second loop... I would just put the rad in the bath TBH... if you place your I/O right like Kal suggested earlier you will get enough medium moving through the fins...

But I am just guessing...never done it myself.


TBH.. it seems like GPUs benefit less from cold than CPUs... at least from what I see on the bot... there are of course exceptions either way.. but ... I would say wait for winter Imean submerge now... but if its too much load for serious Ocing... wait for winter..... get some fan extension cables.. throw your GPU rad out the window I kept a pretty decent 0c on my AMD setup with just a 480GTX sitting outside...(and 4 ultra kaze 3Ks pumping air through it )

Unfortunately the VRMS were not getting cold enough so I was still limited.

I would get a DIce pot for the cpu and use the chiller for the gpu/blocks and clock to holy hell!

[Hondacity]

you need to insulate first bro...

anyways regarding the pump...i just researched pumps cold water...best way to fight cavitation because of slush...

dual pumps is the answer...

hope that helps..

I had already planned on trying it outside when it gets colder.

I considered submerging the rad, but I figured it would get colder than I want. I just want it colder than it would be on regular unchilled water. And I don't want to interfere with the cpu temperature if possible.

I think my idea would work for what I want it to. I don't want to mess with insulating the cards from frost.....yet.

EDIT: I could do that too, but I can't use DICE all the time. So it'd be a pain in the ass.

A chiller cpu block is needed in this hobby. Wonder if Buckeye is up to the task?

Welcome to the team!

I never did a chiller so I don't have much to add. It sure makes for fun pics and it looks like you're having a blast in your subzero excursions.
