parts for an active cooling system

Post by Quester115 » Thu Sep 13, 2007 1:01 pm

disclaimer: not sure where to put this and this seems right...just, not a mod for ut.

I'm designing a liquid cooling system for my next pc project (still a ways off with teh monies and all, but planning is still fun :wave: )

instead of normal liquid to air heat exchangers i want to add a peltier cooler to the unit so it looks like:
[-----------------------]
[---------[fan]--------]
[----[air heatsink]---]
[----[peltier chiller]--]
[-> [water block] -> ]
[------------------------]
the problem i'm having is finding a part for the water flow that has a flat top instead of fins ...

using this active heat exchange because i'm going to have everything cooled on the same line (cpu gpu ram hdd etc...) and do not want to hear a 6-8 fan radiator along with wanting to keep the liquid temp about 10C below ambient :) yeah thats right

also using an peltier cooler on the cpu block (going to keep a load temp around 0-5 C)

so if anyone can find a heat exchanger that a flat peltier modual and heatsink can lay on top of that would be awesome

Erm, just build your computer inside your refrigerator's freezer. That'll do it. ;P

lol arch...found that site just a day before you posted and damn do they have some cool looking stuff.
found a 'universal' gpu waterblock with a 60x40mm base that fits a module perfectly.

like vipers idea [contemplates adding coolers to top of case to chill air] [laughs maniacally]
general...i read it again...brilliant!

but price ...ouch 6 60x40 for 150USD :) but hey said it might take a while
thanks for the comments


lol looking at the case i'm thinking about...it even looks like a fridge:

Lol im serious I have the patent papers right here on my desk I dont know what to call it yet though.
But It will be a fridge and a Computer. Still thinking how it will work Whether it will be 1 two chambered unit or
2 seperate but connectable units so when you may need to take it for repairs you dont have to lug around the fridge part.

if I get this manufactured and the idea sells then I will be sending Paintball 1 for free. Cause his comp problems lead me to this idea ty paint lol

Heh that reminds me of our air conditioner that had a giant slab of ice on its coils, heh was cleaning the filter when it was discovered :P.
