Extreme Cooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

Just like the title says, lets see pictures of your extreme systems.
Let's try to keep questions, comments, and complaints within the other threads, just pics and specs here.

Heres my TEC rig:
1800+ at 2.55ghz 11*232 with maze4 (226 watt TEC at 13.75V comming soon)
9500pro at 400/300 with maze4-1 80 watt TEC. (172 watt comming soon)
2*256 XMS with CH5 ICs
DFI Infinity

And heres my 9800np/nf7-s/1800+ rig that sucked. Board wouldent go over 215 FSB with a divider of 205 1:1 and it maxed at 2.3ghz no matter what :| Chip and ram are in TEC rig, mobo died from NB condensation I think and video card ram killed by static electricity. Have an A64 3000+, Mushkin BH5 sticks, VNF3-250, and 9600XT now waiting for some VR's to Vmod board than chiller goes back on. I'm waiting for some good deals for parts to finish my custom chiller with a goal of -40C liquid

Here's mine, specs in sig.

pretty stupid idea, since tons of dust goes in, but here it is anyway:

Prometeia Mach I at -44c

I suppose this counts...doesn't it? Dual VapoChills with a water cooled GPU. It runs daily at 4.44GHz for almost 2 years now.

Work in progress, building a cascade phase changer cooler shortly, with a interstage heat exchanger loop on 1st compressor side for an inertx loop to cool gfx gpu and ram down to -40c.....anyway heres my current setup:

see project 'thinktank' under the mods section.

Three Vapo`s in one case.

next to another a64 Vapo`d system.

The red flow wheel below measures coolant flow and sends an RPM signal to the CPU fan header. It uses the LED's to measure RPM. If the coolant pump stops the system will shut down automatically. =)



Don't get me wrong the Thermalright NB-1C is the mother of all NB air coolers, but here you can see the NB-1C blocks three PCI slots on the Epox 8KDA3J . A card like the Audigy 2Z on the bottom cannot fit. I felt this was necessary because the NF3 chipset gets very hot and the 8KDA3J NB heatsink is basically poor in material and size. The NB-1C fan is a little loud, but it is thermostatically controlled here. Now it's cool to the touch.



The original air filter on the Lian Li's don't do a great job in filtering real dust so a different setup was made using two filters, one fine foam filter and one wire mesh filter. Now the inner filter side stays clean as it should.



UV cathode w/reactive molex connectors, coolant hoses and paint.



white/blue cathode. The inverters for the cathodes were insulated with aluminum foil because the inverters themselves emit a significant amount of EMI noise. With the cathodes on, my Digidoc temp readings shifted 10deg F! No telling what that can do to other data sensative parts like your HD.



Even with the camera flash, you can see the hoses glow blue with the UV cathode on.



The coolant used is a clear, non-conductive and non-corrosive liquid. In the event of a leak no electronic parts will get damaged due to shorting. The CPU temps rarely see more than 37C at full load. In fact my upper case temp is sometimes hotter than my CPU!!! The boxed air cooler would yield temps up to 45C.



No dye needed, the hoses glow w/UV light. Adding dye will increase the siemens (conductivity)of the coolant.





The DigiDoc 5 monitors four tempratures; two stripped WD80G hard drives, a WD200G in the mobile rack, in addition to the lower and upper ambient temp inside the case. Normal HD temps seem to be no more than 90deg F at the spindle. The temp reading on the Koolance watercooling unit is taken directly from the CPU waterblock.

Is it normal for the compressor to get hot to the touch? I can touch mine for about 4-5 seconds, and then it gets to hot.... If it matters, the compressor is a 1/3 HP

I thought this is to post system? Anyway, yes it does run hot. low side 50-65 c is common as well as high side 55-70 is normal for the compressor you have.

BTW, I make these and sell them. Feel free to inquire me.

Wow, this thread sure did die off in a hurry.

Are there not that many other people running phase systems around here anymore or what?

I'm looking at having a single stage unit custom built for an upcoming project and I was hoping I'd be able to grab some new pics for inspiration...but I guess I'll have to mosey on back to XS.

It's all good though...bench on my brothers.

a few other things obviously in the system, but those are the main things...

Very nice setup man...wiring could use some work, but a very nice setup none-the-less.

thanks... and yup... wiring definitely needs work... but that is just one of the many things I haven't got around to yet... I wanted to make sure everything was running and working perfectly before doing anything about the looks of it.

Which is what I'd do to...good call man, and once again...nice work.
