Dual Chilly1 (with pics)

[Phil Stanbridge]

Well guys we have some news to report, and pics to follow. We have managed to get a dually up and running with two Chilly1 blocks. One is to cool the gpu and the other obviously is to cool the cpu. Its frosting up nicely, so we are half way there. I'll keep you posted.

Very impressive! Cant wait to see some pics

Truly awesome work Phil. If it all works out i can see most members wating one, me included

Great news guys! I asked Klaus @ nVentiv if they were doing one of those around April 04, he wouldn't say - but the Brits have actually done it!

Pics pics pics pics we want pics

Sounds v.cool cannot wait to see some pictures, come on phil stop holding us in suspence

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

I'll get some pics uploaded later on guys, its looking smart actually. One chilly1 block is specifically for the VGA, one is geared up for the CPU.

just a quick question about the gpu end, with gigabyte releasing its sli 6600 in one card and with the 6800's on there way along with other manufactures making there own will this setup be able to fit them?

 

[fatty]

Mate the unit has only 2 heads if you want an sli unit plus cpu then you need 3 heads lool

no im reffering to the Gigabyte 3D1 - Dual GeForce 6600 GT 256MB DDR3 & K8NXP-SLI nForce4 SLi which has two cores on one card.

heres an image:

then yes, more than likely. Obviously I cant guarantee it will fit every design out there.

Oh I see! Then definitely not. Its a single core head only.

couple of very early work in progress pics

Mate looks good as a starter unit very nice hmmmmm 2 heads

 

[imported_matt]

any ideas of the kind of cooling loss at the cpu end?

 

[dillingerdan]

Very VERY nice work Phil! I'm liking it. Has it got a second temp probe on the GPU block?

round of aplause phil well done matey

Obviously its a NLIIF GT compressor (r507) is split down the middle so in theory you should divide the temps you get currently in two. It doesnt work exactly like that but it will give you some idea - At the moment (before my engineer fine tunes the unit) we're getting approximately -30 degrees on both cpu/gpu which is still plenty cold enough for some good results. Certainly the gpu end will be better than the best pelt you can get at the moment and we havent even started tuning her. We'll be in for some interesting results.

It will have two temp probes by the time we're finished. Both will connect to the standard GT controller board (which allows for this) however we're not 100% how it will work, and how accurate they will be.
