Water Chiller - that's her modified for Subzero ;-)

K. Smaller unit. My bad.
Still 200 unnecessary watts though.
 
It's half the capacity of the 500 model that we know draws 400 watts. Hence, roughly 200 watts. Doesn't matter what it is anyway. It's not necessary to run a cooler that draws almost the same wattage as the entire rest of the system, when for the overclock involved and your ambient conditions, you could get the same result with a cheap air cooler and 1 fan.

It's fine though, enjoy yourself. It still has novelty value.

No offence but if you compare this temperatures with Air cooled temperatures you are a fool.

I had this Machine running Air cooled with the same ambient temperature that i have right now and testing it with OCCT the CPU temps were 70c/75c and while playing 46c/49c.

Note: since i have the Chiller it has never used more than 2.0W

You better OC that CPU at least 400MHz more with that cooler.
 
Draws closer to 300-325w

But it ONLY switches on when it needs to. It's barely runs at all unless with CPU & GPU intensive tasks.

Going to do this to control whether thermostat is bypassed or not (getting sick of having to do it manually all the time when I'm not pushing temperature down) and its a cheaper/simpler method than an external temp controller method, that I mentioned in the opening post on this thread.

I'll post new pictures up showing how I implement this after its done.

Sorry to disappoint you but it won't happen, not with this CPU, want to see big numbers? You have to wait.

Since i have mine it hasn't switched on even when i play, it has to go to 19c before it starts to work but until now max temp is 18.1c
 
i thought about doing that, quite strongly.. but when I thought about what would happen if the tank ever burst I chickened out..

would of been nice though; would of solved condensation problem forever; apart from maybe a little condensation on the tubes not under the oil, this water would drip down the tubes which would have to of been periodically removed from the top of the oil.

EVGA also don't honour warranties for equipment dunked in mineral oil.#
Not because the oil does any harm, but because they can't fix it up and ship it off to another customer as refurbished. So they changed their policy.

so whats wrong with that chip?

:) Man with elephant's foreskin leather wallet finds it to heavy to open to buy one so borrows friends CPU :)
 
Anyone know if testing has ever been done; to determine the impact of tubing size. on pressure and flow?

For example; pressure & flow rate difference between 10mm & 13mm ID tubing?

I know this wouldn't "normally" make a lot of difference to temps, but could it make a notable difference when running a higher viscosity coolant?

It makes no discernible difference.
 
Example for the sake of it
Pump A thru 10mm tubeing 30lts per hour
Same pump thru 13mm tubing 30.5 ltr per hour

or you can Argue same flow on each but Smaller bore may/will have higher pressure and therefore pump has to work slightly harder

Tangareen's or Satsuma's there is a Difference but it wont Really matter ( they are both small oranges :)....)

If your that Bothered fit A Flow meter and monitor it yourself

Evening lads,

Got my loop apart tonight to perform insulation prep for my subzero quest.

Turned my EK pump/reservoir combo upside down and noticed (to my surprise) that its rated at a maximum of 24 volts.

Its the:
"EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM (incl. pump)"
Max L/hr: 1500
Max Head: 3.9m

See pic:

Anyone know if running it at this higher voltage would increase its performance?

I always thought these were rated at 12v as standard, so still surprised.

It begged this question; so i had to ask :)

Ty.

Looks to be pulse width modulated so it's speeds likely set

You should pay a little more attention to what you buy:slap: mine is the same as your, the only difference is that i knew that it was rated 8-24V, your max is 30W mine 37W

Yes you can run it up to 24v with a max of 0.80 amps at its max voltage. it will increase your flow rate substantially but if your only running a single rad and a single block you won't need all of that flow. Maybe if you were running that pump in conjunction with 3 or 4 rads were you have substantial pressure drop it would make sense to bump the voltage / flow rate. In other words yes it can run at a higher voltage/flow, do you need it? Answer is probably no.
