So this weekend I picked up a water chiller..
This is a 1/2 hp unit. Can drop 250 gallons of water 10f or 125 gallons 20f.. I'm going to be setting it up with a 5 gallon res so below freezing should be possible. Going to be hidding a 5 gallon cooler in the bottom of my rack to hold the water. You can use it with just your tipical pc sized res but I want to keep the chiller from running all the time. I don't know how loud it is as of yet since I havn't had a chance to fire it up. I still need to pick up a pump and cpu block. I plan on doing alot of testing and posting up alot of into on how fast it cools and noise (guy I got it from says it sounds like a dorm room mini fridge) and heat out put. As you can see in the picture I already bought a Temp and humidity gauge so I can figure out the dew point of my room. I should be able to bring the water temp down to about 50f/8c with out having any issues with condensation. I'll be cooling a 3570k and 7970 to start with. Really want to break 5ghz on the ivy bridge. Will be a little while for me to finish this build..Chiller wasn't cheap
. If any one has some pointers on getting a sponsorship to get this build moving a little quicker let me know. Should be a fun build. Thanks
