Why i love watercooling

[jpm1]

after 30 min running , i had 23 during few seconds but couldn't manage to take it

 

[crazysundog]

Nice temps, is that at full load?

[Icarus2]

Do you have watercooled hard drives too? Those temps are very cold all over, below room normal temperature. Especially 59F-66F for the drives (80-90F would be normal). Unless your watercooling is refridgerated, you would have a cool CPU/GPU(if also cooled), and the rest are above room temp. I'm wondering if those readings are not accurate?? Curious.:)

That Vapochill of yours is very nice Monnie, but I bet your HDD's are not 14C (indoors).:smilewink: I live in Canada man, its -25C here today, I know what cool room temps are like! Hehe Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. If I put my rig on the balcony i could OC the snot out of it. :)

Thanks man,

 

The evaporator temps are running -45C @3.4ghz, default is 2.6ghz

 

Let me know if you check out one of those NEC LCD3090WQXi monitors.

temps are taken 30 min after boot . the HDD aren't watercooled just the CPU and the motherboard ATI chipset , the watercase 's made of thick metal and 's put on a tiling which's very cold and close to a thick stone wall very thick and so very cold too the tubes which connect the watercase to the PC touch the cold floor in both way too i have an eheim 1046 and two radiators (homemade) with two fans . i have two other fans one in front of the HDD and one for the extraction . the room isn't cold but fresh . i'm sure at 97% that the temps are right

That's cool. I just don't understand how hot hard drives can be below room temperature unless you have air/liquid colder than room temperature passing over them? To get them to 60F from say 80F you need something like 40-45F air blowing on them. I know on my machine the CPU temps are accurate but the system temp is totally fubar (29F in 68F room, whichis impossible). Either way its not the liquid cooling.

i said the room's fresh for me maybe for some it could be cold i don't think to be so fat myself :dontgetit:

 

just after boot (it means few time after taking the radiators out from night mode that could be an important detail)

 

 

with radiators working (1h30 after) and a beautiful sun outside

 

 

still good temps ...

 

the assembly

 

 

spring time today (behind house)

 

borie behind the house don't know exactly the thing some said they were shepherd shelters others say they were shelthers for the ones who fled the black plague during the plague epidemics and others they were shelters for Saint-Jacques de Compostelle pilgrims

 

in fact i had to stop the radiators i have the windows open :smoke:

 

one last go after 3h running

 

 

with that beautiful sun i'm making myself tomatoes "à la provençale" an egg that's gonna be delicious

Beautiful system, nice one!

Cool, very nice setup. These last temps are more what I would expect. Your HD is higher here.

 

Nice property too BTW. I can taste the tomatoes (in my mind) all the way over in Canada.:smilewink:

Tomatoes "à la provençale" :

 

- cut the tomato in the horizontal direction

- in a pan put a little of olive oil & put your two halves on the cut side

- turn them over add some salt , pepper and some Provence herbs (thyme,rosemary) , wait for it to soften

 

Done ! you have your meal for less than one euro

[CE_Mikemonster]

Hahaha I have a meal that is similar, I call it 'take one carrot and eat as required'

A plate of those and a bottle of Chambertin and I'd be set up nicely. Well, the Chambertin would set me up tomatoes or not, that's my fav.:D

I eat whole lizards (sometimes while still kicking and squirming).

[CE_Mikemonster]

fishesses, preciouss..

 

btw Hitman (having seen your sig), do they put dwarf porn on the top shelf?

[hitman]

Dunno, Ive never looked for midget pr0n. Even though I vividly search for new titles, Im sure the midget pr0n is closer to the floor boards and light sockets.

Oh man you guys must be starving...

 

This is what I call a mans meal:

But be prepared to make some light shows later into the night...(read: anti-social) but if your woman trully loves you she still sticks arround. Thats why we call it the love test :D

i asked a SAMU (medical urgency help service) medic once what a man can drink i didn't wanted to do anything , he told me you can drink up to three glasses of wine by day , if you exceed two or three times a month (4-5 glasses) it isn't serious at the condition not to be frequent and i said to him for example myself i never drink but sometimes i drink , he said to me word by word :"to get a bit plastered sometimes there isn't any problem" he said that to me on a tone i wouldn't say he adviced it to me but it can not hurt i said sometimes don't mess with alcohol i saw my my father dying of alcoholism believe me there are softer deaths . My dietician advises me to drink 1 glass of wine by meal

 

Edit : 3 glasses by day not by meal if you followed my advices you won't die anyway , sorry
