Hiya everyone. Looking for a one-up forum for best performance cooler Looking for: Best performance in Cooling. Not looking for: Quiet, Silent Limitations 1: Max width, length and height of 3M for the cooling unit itself. Limitations 2: Has to be self-sustainable. The tags include both exotic and cooler mods to me meaning custom ideas and concepts so go crazy! Use this as both a way to show your knowledge and also get together with the community!- 21 replies

Hey all, So I’m upgrading my exotic build, no need for specs. Right now she’s shoved in a O11 dynamic “XL” (really not, extra large…) with a bunch of radiators n so on just got a TT View 71 case. Very familiar with it since I did a prior build for my daughter using it. It’s so large, I’m upset I’m using the O11. Anywho, is there a product out there that cools water similar to a refrigerator? That is r-34 refrigerant along with a controller? Just wondering out of curiosity. I have enough room (prob) or externally to run water lines. I only ask cause my kids build has geez, uh, 3x 360 rads, 1x 140 and a d5 500ml pump/res - much larger case as I said. Mine, has a distro plate, 3x 360s and a 120. Regardless of how many fans I shove in there (2500rpm always on 100%) I peak around 57-61c. Overclocked Cpu and gpu, both with monoblocks. don’t know if anybody’s ever done something like this before, toss in a condenser to chill water…. Aside from all the scientific junk like condensation (I’ll figure something out), wondering if anybody has pulled this off before my other idea was to run lines outside the pc then simply into a gigantic water jug (more volume is better… not really) with a submersible water pump - but that would be like 10 gallons a minute, lot a bit overkill. Way too much water pressure Other idea was to get a few radiators, a not so powerful pump, then shove the rads infront of an air conditioner… anybody got suggestions? I’ve even considered having two seperate loops, submerge my water radiators into mineral oil, then loop the oil through a radiator or two. But then I figured I’d reach ambient (average, whatever it’s called) temperature anyways. Just cause oil don’t transfer heat so quick don’t mean in a few hours it won’t be as warm as the water. Besides, my thermals would be (presuming) the same as the mineral oil so yeah, a condenser from a refrigerator is my thought on this one. U know, oh I want cold water. Shove a glass in the front of a fridge and bam it’s cold. I’d like something like that. I can figure out the details/construction/logistics later. Just wanna know if something like this exists thanks!

I have what i think would be a great video, especially now that lately LTT is focusing more on weird and exotic cooling solution. I was watching a video on Tested and Adam Savage wanted to make a cooling apparatus for his cosplay costumes. He brought along an engineer that introduced him to a tiny refrigerating compressor that was developed during the golf war by a company called ASPEN Compressor out of Kentucky. When i saw that, i immediately thought that it would be a perfect LTT video because of the compressors size, seeing as though it might fit in a normal rig without compromises. I would love to see if it would actually perform well in a computer and what its performance will be under high load. Adams Video: ASPEN Compressor: https://www.aspencompressor.com/ -
Im just wondering, not about to build a PC, but coudn‘t you use distilled water in a mineral oil PC? This would eliminate the nastynes of mineral oil PC, would cool a little better and still shoudn‘t demage your componets. Or am I misunderstanding something? -
I know the title is dumb, but I was in discord with some friends and we got into an argument over whether using urine or water would be more effective for cooling a computer.

I am currently designing a hardline build for a new PC that i am putting together. As a biology student, i wanted to tie in DNA into the build and though it would be really cool to get a double helix into the system. Anyone have any ideas on how to bend a full helix from PETG tubing?

Hello guys! So I saw a 5400 rpm fan in our local store And it's quite cheap, so i became curious bout how Cool will it be if I were to build It like this: Case: Antec p280 4- 120mm- 5400 rpm fans 2 - intake (Inside after the HDD docks) 2 - exhaust (Top) 3 - 120mm - LED Fans (corsair SP/HD)? 2 - Front Fans 1 - Rear Fan Cpu cooler - DeepCool Gammaxx S40 w/o fans? Inside the unit - (Planning to OC everything) i7 - 6800k 3.40 Ghz 15 MB Cache Gigabyte GA X99 - Ultra Gaming Msi Gaming Gtx 980ti 6gb OC Corsair Vengence White Led 32gb(8x4) Seasonic SnowSilent 750w 80Plus Platinum So Any suggestions/Comments/Tips About it?

Here you go guys, I thought this was interesting concept... Youtube video of how it works Also, this got me thinking, we might be able to use this in a pumpless loop... bare with me: if all the blocks had their components on the side,and had the input at the bottom and output at the top, and we would run them in parallel, the liquid could arrive at the bottom of the block, then go upward to the radiator at the top, with a slight angle (the vapor pipe would come in at the highest point, and the lowest point would be where the condensed liquid would go out, and there would be a reservoir halfway in the middle of the going back down process I know I'm simple minded on this one since there's a lot of info missing here about the physics properties of this liquid but its more of a concept, an idea... The attached picture is what it would look like (using the red lines as pipes)

Ever since i saw the the fanless CPU cooler with it's boiling coolent, I have been wanting to develop an off-the-shelf design. R123 freon (Dichlorotrifluoroethane), with a boiling tempature 27.82 °C (82.08 °F), would be ideal for a pumpless liquid cooling solution I believe. As long as you avoid exothermic reactivity in certain materials you don't want in your cooling system anyway. Because it is a liquid at room temperature, it is safe to handle. It has been used in commercial cooling systems for many years. -
I found this person that showed a metal that could be used to cool a CPU under ambient and won't draw 500w , any ideas and opinions on that idea ?

Hey guys!! Just wanted to fill you in on a project I'm working on. Feel free to chime in with anything that comes to mind. Ive been experimenting the past day or so with the TEC modules I finally received; the first was a single 12706 then two 12715's. I'm really intrigued with them. I've sealed a board with an old Q6600 I had laying around and was going to mess around with one directly on the CPU, but then I wondered how it would do in conjunction with my watercooling loop in my main rig. I know about the heat dissipation issues of the TECS and am currently using a hyper 212 evo which it's doing the trick. I know (first hand) of the condensation issues, but with the way it's going to be implemented it puts the TECS on the outside of the case with the evos outside the back. I have an all copper tube build which is modular so it wouldn't take much work to change out one pipe. It wouldn't be always powered, rather only when running benchmarks or games and such. I'm placing the peltiers after my res, before it enters the gpu then cpu. (My cpu/gpu are in a parellel config, which was more for aesthetics but I did try both parallel and series config and seen marginal difference at best.) The point of the TECS is not to be the main cooling component, rather chilling the water before entering components. As the cold water enters the gpu it will be heated before entering the cpu, negating the need for insulation past the gpu entry. Whatever heat the liquid picks up by the components is then cooled by my Rad, then chilled again before entering the components. I'm oc'd at just shy of 5.2Ghz on my 8600k, really hoping to push this chip to 5.3. It's already delidded with a Rockit copper IHS installed w/ liquid metal. Temps are good; breaking 74 after a few hours of ghost recon wildlands but considering the OC I'm happy.

So, I was searching the right Pc case for my build for about 3 years, no case had the right layout, Style or Size! But about 3 Months ago I found the lovely P50, let's start: The Case is made out of Aluminium and features a Tempered Glass Window, it is so light that I thought it was made out of Plastic while unboxing it, but it is very strong and the build quality (As far as I know its made by Jonsbo) is Great. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Build: The case is obviously for ITX only and on their site you can buy a Flex-ATX psu (only supported psu), but i went with a Corsair SF600 Platinum, wich should fit, according to my measurements! I5-8600K 16GB Corsair 3000Mhz Samsung 970 EVO 512GB Asus z370I itx + EK Monoblock Zotac GTX 1080ti + Bykski Full Block EK SPC-60 Pump Phobya 560mm Radiator + EK VARDAR 140mm (x4) -Flexible tubing/ Fittings from EK The Plan: At the moment its kinda not done, and the glorious Kaiser is chilling on top of the pump, my plan would be either Cyberpunk 2077 or Battlefield 1 Themed, wich is very different from each other... Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser und greeting from Austria!

Which fittings are better for the work? Hard or soft tubing? -
I just completed my first watercooling build and need advice for the next one. I'm looking for cases that would support: Not looking like garbage (read: has TG) and isn't 900 friggin dollars! Specifically, under $200, if such a thing could be found. Two monster 60x360mm rads in push-pull, AND at least one additional 30x360mm rad. An additional 420+ would be even better. E-ATX mobo, like Asus ROG Zenith Extreme (or threadripper 2 E-ATX board) Room for two D5's using EK-XTOP serial D5 a must. For reference, the EK XE 60mm rads are 57mm thick, so in push-pull the whole thing is 107mm thick. Note that the define r6 does NOT support two monster 60x360mm rads in push-pull, and certainly not three 360's of any size. You can technically get one monster in the top, but it looks like crap because it covers a huge part of an ATX mobo. The closest thing to what I'm looking for was the thermaltake X71 TG. However I know (from experience) that thermaltake makes kinda cheap stuff, and as far as aesthetics it would need extensive modification (and paint, most likely) to look decent. I'm not adverse to some metalwork, short of welding, but less is more. I have gone spelunking on the sites of the major brands (jesus their sites suck), but I'm overwhelmed by the many smaler, poorly-advertised ones. Help! -
Well decided to surprise a friend of mine who's a fellow old tech enthusiast by picking him up and plugging this pc (pentium e5500 6gb of ram, 9400 gt 512mb, 700gb laptop hdd) into the tiny screen in the car and playing Jurassic Park midi theme as I say we spared no expense. Just a neat little project (with 4 hours of driver hunting... First get windows Installer 3.1 to get the net framework to get sp3 to get Nvidia drivers to get audio drivers) good lord it's convoluted. Got everything for it for 5$ though so can't complain

So. i have a crazy idea after watching some russian cool his pc with vodka. what if i used pure lab grade ethanol? im looking for rediculous cooling with standared(ish) parts (ie no liquid gasses [nitrogen,helium,etc]) any suggestions?? and would Pure ethanol work since its ability to take in heat is decent?

Help me find waterblocks to cool my laptop :)
Shads posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Hey guys, so I was thinking of modding my gaming laptop now that the battery is fried and like 8/10 screws are missing. I want to remove the temperature bottleneck by giving it the desktop cooling solution treatment, and I was wondering if anyone could help me find waterblocks that could fit, or that I can easily mod to fit. The holes I need to fit are: 45mm apart by 45mm apart for the GPU o--------45mm--------o | 45mm | | o--------45mm--------o and 35mm by 45mm for the cpu: o------35mm------o | 45mm | | o------35mm------o Thanks in advance guys! -
So I have a question regarding an exotic watercooled loop, basically I want to know if you spent the time spiraling a hard tubing if it would work in a build, or if the force required to push the water through the loop would be to much for a single pump. I have included an image of some tubing to clarify exactly what I mean when I say spiraling. But I don't mean to make the spiral this drastic I would otherwise spiral it around another piece of tubing. Again just wanting to know if something like this could work in a build, either with a single or dual pump setup if needed. Thanks!
