Garden mounted radiator mod

Wow... quite the adventurous build... and SO clean! Here's hoping your luck continues to hold out and you keep the condensation at bay!

hahaha really nice idea

I had thoughts on something simillar to this. Either mounting a remote rad outside or in the loft. Props to you for actually doing it! The pretty valid warnings about condensation put me off though. It can get quite warm in my pc room (23C) so condensation would definitely occur. I have been warned that even having a rad next to the window pulling cold air in may cause the evil stuff.

Like I said, well done for thinking out of the box and may your luck continue!

Thanks buddy, i always keep my compuer room at a steady 18C, which i suppose helps, i also have a de-humidifier in here, this is how i like it, and after coating all the bare metal surfaces in plastidip there has been no condensation at all.

Just some updates on the build..

Heres just some updated pictures of my FT02 FX8350 rig which has the outside externally mounted garden radiator.
Its running at 5ghz and has been now for a good 4 months, with no signs of condensation even though that was a concern for me, i must be lucky.
So yeah ive just tidied the rig up a bit, what do you guys think?

So what are your temps like with all the snow etc?

Looks very nice I must say

 

[PaddieMayne]

Temps are great with the weather were having, although its hard to tell with AMD because of the variable temp sensor they have, but socket temp idles roughly between 12C and 16C and under full load it does not exceed 40C.
