will this heatercore be enough?? ;)

this bit of insanity started a few weeks back and gradually progressed.

once the core was in hand, a little torch time produced the conclusion that it definitely had some promise:

it probably would have done well enough with just four 120s bolted to the front of it with no shroud but where is the fun in that??? besides, wasting available performance is a bad thing so the machinery kept running until we ended up with this:

test results coming soon... :D
 
should be enough for the CPU... might want to think about using another one and cooling the GPU in a different loop.
 
so what are you going to cool with that?

you should get another one and run 2 loops through that 437W TEC block:D
 
the sad thing is that youll never get under room temp...

never get under room temp?

dude, i am below ambient with a 226 watt CPU pelt and a 80 watt GPU pelt, mated to 2x120 mm rad.

13x200 @1.95 volts, XP2600 mobile.
ambient: 25 C, core: 18 C (loaded, folding@home)
 
well yea, because your using a pelt, if not, then no matter how big the radiator it would never get below ambiant.
 
Haha. Thats pretty sweet. As long as your pump can handle the additional restriction, it's never overkill. ;)

you are right, but what you are missing is the underload temps, so if you are thinking that one rad that will get your water to room temp at IDLE is more than enough, and anymore is just over kill, you are wrong.and what you are missing is when you load your PC and the "none-overkill rad of yours" will not be running at room temps anymore, so what you do, you get better/more rads/fans to lower the water temps back to be as close as possible to room temp.so the goal here is to get the water temps as close as possible to room temp at load not at idle. I am running 2x dual heatercores with 4 fans mounted on them (pic is in my earlier post) and at load I am about 3C above room temps, and my idle/load temps don't go more than 3C (33C idle 36C load) with the fans at 9 volts. oh and I am using this to cool my prescott 3.2 OC to 4.0 and 6800 ultra OC to 450/1.19. so what you might think is over kill might not be actually that bad after all, and it does help.

what're the specs of those fans? are those 38mm? monstrous.

they are 130cfm deltas --maybe I should add four more on the other side?? ;)

if I want under room temp, I just fire up my main system - it is phase change.
or I could just plug this back up:

I build phase change gear when I'm bored. :p

How much for that one?!

I could use it as a radiator in my wife's car.

lol - they are a bit much - the shroud takes twice as much metal and CNC time as a 302 shroud and the raw cores are four times more than a single 302.

you sir, are correct. additionally, if you want the quiet but cool option you have to go with massive surface area and fans at 5-7v if you plan on using a heat exchanger for reasonable temps. Of course, holding ambient coolant temps takes more work and louder fans but I think this one will be able to keep coolant temps at ambient with even a heavy heatload. I just beat a double deadline for reviews so now I am going to play with the monster core for a couple days. :)
 
well, i was right and i was wrong then:

i honestly did not see much point in fabbing up a rad like that for use without peltiers. at the same time, i thought that when mated to a monster peltier like the one that i linked to, it would be quite necessary for good coolant temps at reasonable fan speeds.

and a quick aside: the review that the link i posted links to makes me quite angry, since they are using a rad and pump that are far too small for the job that they are doing. with a rad like this one, i expect that block and coldplate could get REAL subzero opperating temps on a modern processor, even when aggressively overclocked.
