Great Idea!!

I vaguely remember a mod where the whole setup is placed in a non-conductive liquid! No kidding! The board, absolutely every component immersed in that liquid. The tank holding the setup has tubes circling it that flow refrigerant.

yeah alot of those over the years, some with mineral oil, some with other fluids

So it is true and not hoax!

Man, there's a huge price gap between the PIB and OEM (chip only) variants of the YF you're buying ($150). I know you'll use your DD to cool it but can you please put up a pic of the stock cooler? Please? If Intel is packing a more efficient/better air-cooler, I'll be saving on a DD. when I'm buying it, IF I buy it.

still may not work... there is nowhere for the heat generated by the rads within the fridge to go, and eventually i believe it would start to warm up.. those mini fridges dont have "that" powerful a TEC inside them.

But, you could try mounting a rad inside the fridge with the fattest 120mmfan u can find and let us know what it does for the coolent temperatures! when used with watercooling alone
may work, may not, either way you dont end up with a ruined pc

Yeah, I here you. What would happen if a reservoir got installed the inside the minifreezer too? What are your thoughts? I am only asking cause I never really "played" with liquid cooling before. Just as long as the coolant has an anti-freeze property right?

Well,yeah. I'd need to make some sort of air tight wholes to put the wires through.

they all have a drain hole in the bottom so drill a hole near it (like an inch or so away) and you wont risk hitting any wires or damaging the fridge so it quits working, then seal it with silicone caulking.

seal the motherboard to waterproof it and put it cpu facing down so any condensation drips away from board. if you imurse it in an oil bath it cant condensate and the fridge keeps the oil container thats holding the board nice and cold. just things to think about.

stick it in big cold room it might work.. stick it in a mini fridge and it wont..

trog

 

[cdawall]

i dont know if this has already been said but just rip out the condensor/coil and make a pelt block that would cool WAY better than sticking it in the fridge alone

[JrRacinFan]

LMAO, You got that right!

 

[cdawall]

you would think if you were doing that you would think ahead enough to rig up an external switch?

The part where the dude shows the Mineral oil bottle, points at the "Mild Laxative" and does a thumbs-up....it made me spill my mugful of bier....well, you know how to get btarunr undressed.
