CPU Cooling with 15 Liters of Water

Posted by michael on from the longer-than-a-tercel dept.

I ran across this very interesting article at overclockers.com about this guy's immense 15-liter water cooling rig for his home office PC. Might be just the kind of thing to have the contractors include when they pour your next garage slab."

    I cool my PC with my outdoor swimming pool!!

    Still having problems with dirt clogging the lines though. .
    On the plus side, when that happens I get a nice introduction fusion when my Athlon melts down!

    That's nothing, I heat my olympic swimming pool with my PC! ;-)

    I've had no problems. You need to use a closed cooling loop through the PC and dump a small heat exchanger in the pool.
