Hey Guys

 

In the LTT office tour Linus told us about this Cooling equipement which can reach temperatures under 0C, my question is if there are still systems like this and how they work. Also (not trolling) would it be possible to connect such a cooling PC to a Fridge?

 

Greets, (kinda serious about this :D)

CPU: Xeon 1230v3 - GPU: GTX 770  - SSD: 120GB 840 Evo - HDD: WD Blue 1TB - RAM: Ballistix 8GB - Case: CM N400 - PSU: CX 600M - Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Evo

Thats kinda exactly how subzero cooling works - like a fridge. Its called vapor-compression cooling.

Do you think a normal sized Fridge here in austria (about 3times smaller than those in Murcia) can handle such a PC?

Not sure - that depends. I think if you compare the Wattage of the fridge and the tdp of your cpu you can kinda guesstimate it. But its very complicated to implement...

 

Thermaltake did it once: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2008/09/thermaltake-cools-pc-with-fridge-compressor/

 

Heres another link: http://www.nordichardware.com/CPU-Chipset/overclocking-intel-core-2-extreme-x6800/Overclocking-Cascade-compressor-cooling.html

 

Edit: apparently the fridge cools 2Watts with 1Watt. So if you have a fridge that has a wattage of 120Watt you could probably cool a cpu with 240W tdp.

Thanks for those answers, I think @Slick should convince Linus to do this, so 2016 we see a Fridge PC seperated in 4 Parts *_*
