Hello. It was recommended that I come to this forum by Valkia, and Valkia's community (Twitch TV). I am not sure where to post this.
For the past 10 weeks I have been working on a refrigeration based cooler. (my design). I don't think it's fair to call it a true Phase Change cooler. I designed it to be used in harsh environments (hot rooms or buildings like LAN's). I did not intend for it to be a sub zero cooler.
Thats why I was struggling to figure out which forum to use.
The reason I picked refrigeration was because of the Room Temperature subject. I knew at the start that air and liquid cooling depends on that factor. A refrigerated based cooler thats insulated is not as bothered by Room Temperature.
Progress has been slow and steady but, I figured out the insulation, and condensation part at this point. Now I am working to figure out the cooling part.
I have an issue with that. I am using parts designated for recycling. I do not have all of the professional software that the testing labs have.
Despite the severe lack of resources, an i7 2600K test PC is up and running. It has held steady at 55 C (overclock and under load).
I think this is major progress considering its near constant, and I use absorption methods instead of a vaccuum. This helped me reduce the watt useage to 120. Alot of the Phase Change coolers I looked at were 300+ watts (LD Cooling and others).
I know that my knowledge is limited and I need to reach out.
What would be the best temperature to reach? I keep getting told random numbers by people. Some say they reached 40 C on Liquid Cooling (5820K).
If I manage to reach this temperature in the upcoming models, is there a company or person I could reach out to (to get help testing)? I am not looking for a review. I am only looking to be pointed in a direction.
What would be considered an acceptable cost?
Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
