When the chiller kicks on, the water is cool but the chiller turn off when it hit the set temp, the water temp rises. Is there anything we can do or a chiller is for benchmark only?
 
I'm guessing it's probably normal. For daily usage, you wouldn't want the chiller to run all the time, because then the water would get too cold and you'll be having trouble with condensation. That's not something you want to deal with for daily use. That said, I think a chiller is probably about as far as you can go for daily use. Anything stronger and you're running into the problems that come with extreme cooling.

That is pretty much how it works, i used it most of the time just for benchmarks.

Not really if you know how to do it, sometimes i had it on the whole day and never had trouble with condensation, i had a Thermometer to measure temps inside the case and set the Chiller's temp lets say inside the case was 23c then chiller temp 23c/24c

Does your chiller back on instantly when the water temp rises? I set water temp at 20c and when it hit 20c the chiller is off then water temp rises to 27c instantly and the chiller does not kick in when the temp rises. It wait for a few minutes.

Yes that is exactly how it woks, what Chiller are you using?
 
Jbj 1/5hp. Ordered the koolance alh2000 but already cancel it.

Just heard from the seller. We need a reservoir (5gal-50gal) to keep the water raising temp quickly when the chiller is off.

Don't the Chiller has it is own reservoir? because mine had a Reservoir/Tank with ( evaporator )
 
Do you plan on ocing an Intel CPU? :p:toast::lovetpu:
 
the halea has a reservoir and if i set 20° it kicks in at 21 or 22°.

Does the hailea has 3m off time or it kicks in instantly when the temp goes above the set temp? My JBJ has a reservoir inside too but the volume I guess is not big; maybe its 1L. Thats why they recommend at least 5 gallons reservoir to keep the temp under control when the chiller is off.
 
no it kicks in when temp is 1 or 2° degrees over set temp = minimum +4°
have to say my units are 10 and 5 years young so if software is not changed it should behave so
 
Considering AMD are not that good when Overclocking why not ;)
Wrong answer. You should remember that the only CPU company that used an encrypted chiller on a product presentation to show higher than normal performance misleading its audience was Intel.

How long does it take your loop to rise 1 or 2 degree?
 
Calculate dew point and run it at your dew point then you won't create condensation, I would set the chiller temp a few C above the dew for tolerance as the warm will get more warm/humid, alternatively purchase a deep freezer and run the hardware in there and loop in the CPU/VRM/GPU and anything that generates a lot of heat then keep it running as cold as possible, the dew point within that freezer will be much more usable for lower temperatures, I would recommend filling with silica beads.

80% of TPU's Threads are AMD related issues, for one reason or another :p

Really? You do realize there's benefits to all CPUs in terms of cold scaling not to mention the GPU as well, this isn't exclusive to a platform, and FYI threadripper will happily benefit from one as per any CPU, it's just generally not worthwhile to the vast majority of people (which you know, is the entire point of it being extreme???????????????)

And that's not representative of all AMD systems, or all intel systems either. (surprise, 80%+ of the people here are likely using AMD too which increases the chance of issues coming up here, you know mathematics is a thing)

That is what i tried to tell in post #4

I mean a 50 gallon reservoir would be pretty fun, thats more than in your average bathtub!
 
The Thread's title says (How to use a chiller for daily ) not which one overclock better, Intel or AMD, that said it is time to stick to the topic and help OP
