Hi !
I wanted to share my first true mod with yaz.
This is a fully submersed P3 rig(p3 800/786 Mb ram/Elsa Gladiac/ProMT1000)......cooled by 450 Watts of Peltier coolers...Now , it's totally experimental , so there are no amazing temps or OC's yet.....
Basically , the machine started life as a Lian-li pc-65 case....I completely dissassembled the case down to the raw frame , and rebuilt it from scratch , so it would accept the tank.The tank is handmade using 3/8" glass and 1/4" aluminum....There is a removeable plate on the back of the tank that forms the 'coldplate' of the TEC module.The TEC consists of 2x226Watt peltiers....
The Peltiers are cooled by a handmade ~17 lb pure copper heatsink.
The full motherboard/cpu/ram/cards and the PSU are completely submerged in a dielectric fluid called Midel 7131...The fluid is circutated/jetted at cpu/gpu with a small submersable pump.Cooling is controlled by a Matrix Orbital mx2 series lcd.
The machine weighs 95 lbs , and draws just over 1 Kw when running.
I have currently taken the whole thing apart.....I am rebuilding the TEC module with waterblocks on the Pelts...Dissapating 1Kw is not an easy task......
Hope ya like it !
