It seems that once the air gets out of the antifreeze it thickens up some or something, because my pump isn't moving as much liquid as before. I need to add some water I guess.

Here we go again.............

Only difference is I removed the submersible from the chiller so it wasn't adding any heat to the equation. Weird shit if you ask me.

Probably wouldn't ever have a problem with LN2 not getting my cpu cold enough to suit me.

Hehe, definitely not bro-chacho and if you wanted to run at -2c or -196c, you control that with the amount of pouring you wanna do.

Have we successfully created another sub-zero maniac?

I'm already a sub-zero snowmobiling maniac.

Does anyone make their own LN2?

No but we've looked into every way possible. They have mini ln2 factories but they run into the 40k price range.

Wow that's way higher than I expected.....I was just looking at one.

How much does it cost to keep a good supply of LN2 around?

Well, you prolly coulda picked up a 35L dewar with the money spent on this chiller but I'm not pointing fingers or anything

Need to check your local airgas, gaspro, or other gas supplier in the area, call them, they give quotes on ln2 by the liter prices quick and easy. Prices vary from place to place.

A decent dewar will hold Ln2 for about a month. 35L should hold you down for a good amount of sessions as you start out.


They also rent out dewars, check prices on that too. OR, drift thru e-bay for a cheap one.
