Car or motorcycle radiator for graphics cards?

[k1ske]

I was thinking about adding another radiator to my water cooling loop in addition to 2 graphics card in SLI. so the question here is that do i have to run graphics card in different loop or is car or motorcycle cooler good for graphics cards? ive heard that too cold isnt too good either so thats why im asking. Edited

you need to use phase change cooling for sub-0 temps

cars and motorcycles do not have phase change cooling, they use a normal radiator and fluid

 

fridges, air conditioners, and freezers use phase change.

 

and btw a PC phase change cooler will cost at least $400

The only way to get sub-zero cooling is with a peltier/phase change cooler. It's technically impossible to cool below ambient with just radiators,

alright i thought i could but car radiator is more than fine but will it be too cold for graphics card?

Actually have either of you seen that Overclock3d video where that guy has i think Corsair h100 and he put 40 fans on it and got -8 or so, so its possible

I saw that, it was an obvious joke.

With normal radiators there is no such thing as too cold, so if you could connect a car radiator, it should work just fine, but have fun mounting fans to them.

Why not stick it into a normal fridge?

You save yourself £300 then!

Automotive radiators are usually made of aluminium, aren't they, so they are susceptible to corrosion. Aluminium is not so bad in combination with a steel engine block but combined with copper parts it's more likely to cause problems.

Because you only want the CPU and GPU to be cold, not the rest of the system or it wont boot

which is why you use a fridge, not a freezer. fridge will keep it above freezing unless you put the knob below freezing, surely?

No you dont have to have a separate loop for gpus

Car or MC rads are not that great for PCs as they are optimised for very hot liquids

old watercooling solution was made this way before

using aquarium pump, and a box filled with clean water

 

my brother make it for his Pentium D

but now? you can get WaterCooling system without headache, multi system, clean, neat, and cheap.

because you'd burn out the compressor quickly.

it doesnt matter if its freezing or not

if the temperature is below ambient you will get condensation
