Project: WET WEEKEND for PHIL pics

[Phil Stanbridge]

Looking good - I'm getting a 4000 San Diego to test this with, as you do if it cleans 210w mate that is incredible..

 

[fatty]

Should be sweet couple of 6800's wooohoooo

 

[fatty]

Last few pics before she goes to Phil

Oh yeah a little custom UV reactive grill I knocked up and yes it is rough loool

 

[fatty]

 

[HARRY]

finally someone does sumate nice with the origional side pannels hehe .dood that looks v nice indeed

 

[fatty]

Thank you Harry I don't know if Phil will keep them on lol but I think it looks neat

Hey fatty! nice work just a question, you mentioned you had to remove the back fan because of the size of the resovoir, isnt that going to make the airflow inside extremely poor? cause the compressor makes alot of heat its gonna warm up that water innit?

 

[fatty]

Good question but no it shouldnt be a problem as the fan at the front sucks air into the unit and it should pass through out the back of the unit, if it does cause a problem I will fit a fan or fans to the inside of the panels

 

[hardw1re]

now that i can monitor my evap head temp i actually notice that the back fan makes alot of difference as its the exahaust point. the one at the front is designed to draw cold air in to the radiator. but yeah if there is room to fit the exahaust fan on the right side panel opposite the resovoir i think that would be the best point to put it.

 

[fatty]

Yes but what you need to remember is that this is not a 1/3 HP prom compressor but a 1/8 HP watercooler compressor that will generate a lot less heat as compared to the prom therefor the airflow should be sufficiant plus you could still stick a fan on the outside aswell if you wanted too ??

 

[hardw1re]

ah that i did not know. i thought you were trying to build a water cooling system in with a vapour unit.

 

[Firelord]

Would look sweet with a Martix Orbiatal plugged in the front

Phil put some pics up when you have it up and running

OMG that is looking sweet as mate, if u do start to produce these ill buy one for deff

I've got the chiller guys, and its fabulous. I will start a new thread when I've got the hardware to test it with, but here's a pic of it with a very simple RBX loop. With the attached panaflo at 7v the unit was chilling the water to about 10 degrees idle - this is virtually inaudible guys. It's quite something. The compressor is a LOT quieter than the Mach II one.

I ran another test last night with the fan at 12v, and it chilled the water to around about freezing within 10 minutes flat. It condensates like mad at these temps obviously, so neoprene and grease may be required with my install. But the point is I get the best of both worlds - I can run the fan at 7v (hardly a whisper) and its good enough to cool the water significantly colder than the best watercooling solution, even when attached to a loop - or for benchmarking, I can run at 12v, and it wouldnt be far off a phase-change unit

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

My recently submitted "Dream PC" (see review in August) ran with water temps around the 25 degree mark depending on ambience, using a 120.3 and 3 silenx fans at 12v. This will run probably 10 degrees cooler at just 7v.

 

[fatty]

Very glad you are happy with it mate now go build a system and give it a good thrashing

 

[Firelord]

Love to have your job phil

Looks like its gonna be a great piece of kit the only thing is if you run at 7v will you need to insulate?

nope

 

[hardw1re]

whats running at 7v ???
