Ultimate Cooling System

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the break-out-the-thermal-underwear dept.

OCGeek writes "This should be interesting for the overclockers as VR-Zone has an article up on building a cascade cooling system that cools chips down to -110C. The guide shows you the components that are required for the cascade cooling system such as the compressors, condensers, refrigerants, evaporators, heat exchangers, oil separators etc. and the tools you would need. It allows hot chip like Prescott to reach over 5.1Ghz and ATi Radeon 9800 XT card to reach over 660Mhz core."

    In a controlled situation, you wouldn't have any problems with condensation. I imagine when they turn the coolers off, they would want to bring the temperature back up to room temperature via a controlled sequence. You will get condensation if you go from that cold to warm rather quickly.

    There's software guys, hardware guys, and now, HVAC guys??

    This seems a little complex and extreme for the home builder. Maybe a specialty co-lo opportunity, though? "Icebox netbox"? No good for gamers, of course. But for others who need MIPS for problems that can't be parallelized...

    Woohoo, that's hilarious. Awesome post my friend.

I gotta wear welder's glasses to freakin' check email, d00d... It's the best," said the greasy yongster between mouthfuls of pizza.

    "Hey, did you up your typematic rate on the keyboard yet?" his friend asked excitedly. "One guy on the forums got his up to 1200 csp. That's uber as shit..." His words trailed off as the nubile 17 year-old waitress passed the geeks' table.

    For cheap cooling for 6 months of the year, just move to Winnipeg and stick your PC on the porch.

    Won't work in the summer, but you'll be too busy trying to scrape mosquitos out of your cooling fan to care.

    I believe they attempt this in Florida and Texas a lot it involves something called "old sparky.
    To date all overclocked users end up dead though.
