Does anyone now where to find water cooled RAM heatsinks or waterblocks????? I need info on how to water cool DDRAM!
This is my idea about using a Koolance water cooled case and a water chiller from overclock-watercool.com
The idea consists of 2 specially made waterblocks that will accommodate 3 - 40-50mm peltiers (might be able to run high watt action with this if i use anti-freeze) clamped securely between. The cold side of the chiller plugs into the waterlines of your current system. To the hot side you add separate water cooling system to cool the heated water back to roomish temp.
Supposed Results from 3 80 watt TECs...
Room Temp/Water starting temp, 28.5
5 Minutes the water temp had dropped to 12.5c
10 minutes - 9.8c
20 Minutes - 6.4c
The water/temp trail:
Radiator (near room temp) --> Water chiller (freaking cold temps) -- > Reservior (very low temps) --> Pcu/motherboard/harddrive/videocard waterblocks (back to above room temp) --> and returning to the Radiator (back to near room temp); rinse, wash, repeat... :)
Im thinking of using a Koolance watercooled case.
Recommended Operational Temp a 41oF to 104oF (5oC to 40oC) for Koolance case.
I got this idea after reading info on Redline WaterWetter and its talk about freezing point depression.
Red Line WaterWetter does not significantly reduce the freezing point of water. If the vehicle will see freezing temperatures, an antifreeze must be used. Water expands approximately 9% upon freezing....
So what if with the Chiller, and where able to run higher watt peltiers (say 120 or 156 or even 172!) and use a antifreeze, so that the water could run sub-zero w/o freezing.
Example of a good antifreeze for the system:
PEAK Extended Life also provides exceptional heat transfer and boil-over protection in the most demanding of driving conditions, and because it’s formulated for long service intervals, it is guaranteed to protect for 150,000 miles or five years. Also: For example, a mix of 40% antifreeze and 60% water provides freeze-up protection down to -10°F (-23 degrees Celcius!!!!!) and boil over protection up to 259°F. A huge -64oF (-18oC) below the lowest standard operating temp.
So could make the system supercooled for like $600ish dollars and reach Artic temps w/ ease :)
The only worry that i have w/ it is condensation... id have to seal everything in insulating material otherwise the water particles in the air would start to form water.
Im also intrested in trying to get RAM chiller that i can hook up into the water loop to for more power and overclock potential :) Any info on sites would be of great help.
Also if u have attempted something similar, any comments and suggestion would just make it easier for me to make my dream machine :).
