has anyone on here made completely custom cooling systems, if so what basis did you design your cooler and what have been your results?
 
lol! toilet cooled PC? im not gonna ask, im still tempted to go watercooling to be honest and perhaps voltmod my 7600GTs see how much more i can get out of them, see if i can't reach 700 on the core and 900 on the memory :p
 
Sorry to hijack your thread mate, but I've been thinking about how hillarious the toilet cooling thread was and I'm pretty upset it wasn't archived... I don't supposed anyone saved it or knows where it can be found, would you?:p
Incidentally, it was essentially standard water-cooling except the rad was in the toilet's flush tank. Flushing helped cool the liquid inside the rad:D
 
well... the strange things we do to cool our PC's... *tuts*


There have been loads of custom cooling systems!

At the high-end, we see 2 or 3 stage cascades getting temps of lower than -100'C, with custom evap heads.

You see Custom waterblocks all the time (well I do) as they're really simple to make, and make well :)

I used to make my own HSF's for old P2's, Celeron's and AMD K6's just using 2Kg blocks of copper and a hacksaw, dremel and whatever else you might want... Had one in the shape of a skull, with two 40mm fans as the eyes.. :) was bloody heavy though, and the trick was to steal the mounting arm off of the stock cooler...

Might get back into that soon actually :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - custom waterblocks eh ? Hmmmmm ...

*starts thinking about the Dual P3 Tualatin project he has spare parts lying around for*

muwahahahahaha........
 
i was thinking of going for a system using the cooling unit from a freezer once, would that be possible? :confused:
 
It was cavemanoc that made the "loo Blue" toilet cooled PC. Awsome bit of barking mad engineering :D :D

I'll give him a call tomorrow and see if he's got it
 
Welsh Tom lobed his Intel PIII rig i think it was into oil then baby oil, the lot bar HD and cd/dvd all went in....worked too
 
Heh, I was thinking of getting a Server setup on water with dual P3 Tualatins.

Might still do it when I've paid a £5K debt off ;)
 
Just about to buy some heatpipes

Diameter: 6mm OD (roughly 1/4")
Length: 200mm(7 7/8")
Transfer capacity: 54 watts each
Temp range: 20-180'C Fail temp: 220'C
Copper powder wick with H2O

There properly made and everything! All sealed up!

Only cost $3 USD each £1.60 per pipe not bad eh!

Will need a cope plate for the base and then some thin alloy for the fins!

Yep thats how most custom phase change jobs are made you can either strap it directly to the cpu or use it as a water chiller and water cool the cpu

My unit is nearly done. i think gray will be posting pics if not i will and you'll see a mixture of phase and chiller cooling off the same unit!
