Problems with condensation at the blocks are a concern and you'd have to do some prepping to solve that problem.

However if wanting to experiment with supercooled liquids this is just one way you could try it.

^^ what he said.... I have dune subzero liquid already and you gotta have the tubes wrapped and also socket/block prepped just like LN2 but even more so because the condensation will be condensation and NOT ice so that means alot more loose water around....

What they said.

Thanks Crusty, maybe wasn't such a stupid idea after all huh :D

Was he using glycol as a coolant?

Looks like a used a rad in front of the SS head/block? do you know what kind of pump he had on it?

why don't you instead of cooling like they way y'all been talking about why don't you guys just dock/cut a hole on a cheap ras and stick the SS head in the ras and have the ss cool it

cuz i was using TEC like that and it's not as good as docking the sucker on the die but it's still pretty cool

kikicoco1334 02-14-2012 06:36 AM

here is kinda a better idea of what i am talking about

boris had just bolted an evap on an existing waterloop.he used some car coolant if i remember right... he did it for his 4870x2 which is a pain in the @s$ to ln2 or phase it.
it's very easy to do it.A nice start for testing without much trouble insulating

Well like I said earlier it is not a matter of this working, Physics dictates that it has too... simple math .........

it is how long it will take to get to desired temprature and if it can in fact hold it's ground with the rediculous amount of heat energy being disapated by 4x 580's with in the surface area of the evaporator.

Would be fun to try though

then again.. a single Feser quad at ambient keeps them running nice and cool, so....
