Water Cooling Project

[Dav0s]

Well next year in school we have been told that we have to think of a project to do, research it and construct it. I was thinking about a water cooled new rig. Think this is a good idea or can you think of any other ideas to do with computers that I could do?

Just to give you an idea..some people are building cars etc!!

 

[enVias]

that sounds like a great idea! you should try researching and constructing your own CPU, it doesnt have to work, right?

 

[Dav0s]

lmao!! hmmmm ill have a think about that one...

glad you like the idea!

 

[enVias]

or you could sticky tape two CPUs together and have yourself not only a duel cored cpu, but a duel cpu

 

[Dav0s]

hmmm good thinking but seems a bit expensive to buy 2 cpu's. maybe ill just cut one in half and do the same thing??!!!

 

[enVias]

.. but then you would have a single cpu stuck together with sticky tape doesnt have the same effect

 

[Dav0s]

sticky tape? thats a bit cheap i wd definately at least glue it!!

 

[enVias]

glue? this is the 21st century! ..you could staple it?

 

[enVias]

omg! omg i just had a great idea! if you dont cut it in half in the first place.. you wont have to put it back together!

 

[Dav0s]

but what about my dual core?? lmao!!

I think its a great idea. Maybe you could get SLi and waterchill both the cpu and dual gpu's. Now THAT would be wkd. Plus you could water chill two HD's in a RAID array.

You could compare the heat output to another PC without watercooling and measure db ratings with/without water as well.

Plus you could show the extra benefits of water chilling by OC'ing CPU/GPU's - keep us informed if you do do it!!

 

[Dav0s]

wow! some good ideas there. i like the comparing idea. dont know if i can afford sli and raid tho....

 

[FarFarAway]

Cheers! RAID aint too expensive really, just two SATA drives really. My mobo support two RAIDS and it was only £60.

As for SLi - you could get two 6600GT's if you save up - £120ish each and you can SLi them. That would be sweet.

Bench them with some tests and games and compare results/noie/temps with/without water chilling.

Not only would that be a good project, I'm sure loads of people would appreciate the reviews on the web!! (me included)

 

[Dav0s]

hmmmvery good. RAID seems like a waste of a hard drive to me though. i have no prblems with ide and sata would be a big improvement anyway. what raid setup do you have?

 

[FarFarAway]

I don't have one at the moment. Waiting to afford two WD 10kRPM raptors (76gb ones). I like the idea of RAID. Offers excellent access times and back ups for problems.

Wasn't saying you have to! No seriously I was just suggesting stuff!

Gotta wait and get my RAM first!

1 6800gt outperforms 2 6600gt's in most everything, especially high resolution stuff w/ aa and af turned all the way up

But it's cheaper!

Rock the 2 x 74gb Raptors Those suckas tear up the pavement, they're bloody fuckin fast.

I like the watercooling idea for your project... But if u wanna really impress the other kiddies in class I'd phase change it and be like what now suckaz! Or.... You could pull a Tom's Hardware Guide and put liquid nitrogen to it

 

[PV5150]

Austin....spelling !!!!

duel cored cpu, but a duel cpu

Dave picked you up on it...tut,tut...tut

 

[FragTek]

Don't mind Austin I think he has a touch of dain bramage
