Would there be a temperature benefit from using something like dry ice in a closed liquid cooling loop?

condensation as well as overpressurization. you'd blow gaskets and hoses pretty fast.

If you want to use dry ice in a closed loop, use it indirectly.

Get a bucket, fill it with dry ice, maybe a bit of water and put the radiator into that bucket.

Just make sure it doesn't get too cold and the liquid freezes up.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Yeah, like that, i'm honestly surprised nobody at LMG has done this already.

That doesn't look too hard, but you gotta buy the ice and refill it often. Also open testbenches unless you jerryrig your case.

Yeah I think Kyle did this as a proof of concept, not a " you should all  run your system like this."

What CPU are you using that you think you need to use dry ice to keep it cool?

I'm definitely not doing this, hella overkill for an R5 1600.

well yes, if you ignore the shitload of problems it would cause, for a little while before the fluid freezes it would bring down temps, and then they would go up because there is no liquid flow

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Dry ice isn't called dry for nothing. It straight evaporates in room temp. No liquid. So there's no way you are going to have that in closed loop. Vapor isn't good thermal conductor. Nor is dry ice. Having it around your res might be a thing, or otherwise around things.

Kinda pointless over all. Temporary low temps which wont yield you anything? 

Easy to put it in a bucket with a rad though.

dry ice in a closed loop + water = Bomb ( dont do dis)

 

there's no benefit from super cooling your mainstream computer parts for general daily use.

 

I upgrade my cooler :)
