After watching this video I went out and bought a $500 JBJ 1/10hp chiller. It doesn’t work!

Come to find out at idle I could have the coolant as cold as I wanted BUT once I started playing games the unit couldn’t keep up. BTW I had removed all my radiators.

@0leitejesse Why in the world would you remove your rads? You have to keep in mind, a water chiller is meant to chill water not remove heat from water. You really need to put your rads back in there. The point of me hooking up a chiller was to help in cooling the water in addition to the RAD I have installed. These chillers are used for fish tanks....no load in fish tanks...thats what the RADS are for.

what is the noise like from the chiller?

[lvl8hacker]

@HellishTV You would get the same sound as say a dorm fridge. Not loud at all

Wow nice this is the best ft 02 build i ever seen on youtube beats them all good job!!!

[lvl8hacker]

@IAMTHEPROCESSOR THANK YOU!!!

[DjSuperSou1]

@lvl8hacker are there quieter chillers?

epic build is epic. Also do you know that your rig have a numbers of followers? ;p

You sound just like "aplfisher" he's a pc gamer..

[TheRealRognin]

Have you tried folding balls to the wall (SMP + 3 GPU'S) with the chiller? What temps did it give you?

Working on a chiller myself, but TEC based. Should be able to run without rads in the case, and hold 10c water temps...

Looking at the way the temps jump back when you killed Prime95 got me thinking... Is it possible to "shock-cool" something like the CPU?

I know it's hardly relevant to compare 40 year-old metal with modern PC components but I have to baby my aircraft engine not just to control engine temperature but also temperature differences. You can do damage to it by shock cooling it, so the ventilation / cowl flaps are closed when you go to idle to slow the cooling of internal components.

Awesome build!

On one hand, I'd say this is awesome. On the other, I'd say you have a sickness. LOL

[GOcgyFLAMESgo]

I can't decide between this in black or white?

@lvl8hacker

First and foremost I love your videos!!

The idea is to find an efficient alternative to the fan noise, and balance between effective cooling and efficiency. I think the question was posed “why didn’t you remove your radiators” and the video almost implies that a chiller is sufficient to cool your system. I am curious by nature and stable enough to try such crazy ideas but thought others would be interested in knowing that a chiller alone WILL NOT keep up under load.

You can use water below the ambient temperature, depends on the air humidity, for example if the case temperature is 25ºC and the humidity is 50%, condensation begins at 14ºC, so you can use water at 15-16ºC safe. Here a dew point calculator, migre(dot)me(/)7AohI

Just type the name of your city on google +weather to see air humidity, but for an accurate calculation, you can use a digital thermometer with hygrometer(shows air humidity) on you room.
