hardnrg Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 hate to rain on your parade, but a wine chiller isn't going to cool very much... if that's a P3 at stock volts and speed then you've attained temps that are higher than I got with 3rd party air cooling (that was pretty much silent anyway) are you running the cpu at full load? I doubt that a wine chiller is going to handle much heat output at all... there are already TEC-assisted air and water solutions, and phase-change systems that have higher-to-much-higher cooling capacity so, unless you want to have a cool calculator, it's not going to be commercially viable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat97 Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 yeah... but his CPU being 2C higher than the room?? thats pretty dang good as far as i'm concerned... and steve (nrg) already explained this to me...and he's right... this wont work very well.

Actually, 2 degrees F lower. I'm still in the tinkering phase, I want to wait a week and see what really happens to this bad boy. By the by, this just got posted on hack a day: http://www.hackaday.com/2007/06/19/heat-pipe-wine-cooler/ which really made my day, woo!
