Hey all, i was just trying ti figure out some ways to cool the water in a water cooling system better and i though, what if you pelted the res??! well then we started thinking, the pelt is small with small surface area and so it wouldnt affect fast moving water that much, OK so you pelt a heatsink and dip it in the water! or better yet, you make a res that is filled with fins, the fins are all connected to a copper base that extrudes out of the sealed res and THEN you attach the pelt to the copper. ok that sounds like a lot of work, then i was like "HELL,... why not pelt the radiator?!
any reasons why this wouldnt work? pelt the radiator and have the cool side drawing out more heat while the fans do their job, of course the pelt also has a fan blowing onits hot side.. sounds like it would add a little more cooling but just how much and would it be worth the cost of a couple of pelts? any other ideas... what if you had 2 radiators? like before and after the Res...nah that would be too much work for a pump.... how easy is it to cool off water and what is the best, quickest, method to do so? i still like my idea of the heatsinks fins inside the water, connected to the pelt, and then another heatsink on the other side of the pelt with a fan...
it would be stacked accordingly:
heatsink (inside of res)
pelt (coolside)
pelt(hotside)
heatsink (outside of res)
fan
