Probable Setup For Forum Wars

[Compxpert]

Man I need a better job I can't afford more than the 4870's and the Ultra 120 extreme + fan.

Even if you had a full size fridge/freezer, this still wouldn't work, unless the heat exchanger on the back of the fridge was actively cooled, maybe the compressor too... otherwise the fridge would overheat/cut out/set on fire

 

I was talking about just an insulated cooler that you add ice and water to and cover a bare rad up with the ice and water, it works.

Or I could do this as I do already have an A/C unit. http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...st&p=774148

You think condensation would be a problem? As this is only 2000BTU's as compared to 8000BTU's which may not be enough.

that is my rig from the last war...

there are no condensation problems as long as the PC is the highest thing in the loop.

you also do not leave the AC running to the PC when you are not actively benching.

i will have the same type of set up this time around but my rig will be in my new Tech Station.

i will route the ducting directly to the input side of the dual Panaflo Ultra fans.

at this point it is the...

 

Xeon E3110 (been to 4.9GHZ)

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L

OCZ GameXStream 700

TRUE 120 Extreme (Dual Panaflo Ultra push-pull)

2 gigs Corsair Dominator 1066

2 74 GB Raptors RAID0

3870X2

Sunbeam RHK-EX-SV Rheobus-Extreme fan controller

 

pure bench set up.

nothing but the OS (XP and Vista 64) and bench programs will be installed.

hopefully i will finally get around to assembling it in the next week or so.

i hate to build them early as i tend to stretch them out before the wars begin, taking away the fun of the actual competition...
