Diving into cool water that's right there under us
rubix_1011 : I don't think anyone here really has a crazy idea or makes something up. We guys run water to keep our computers from getting too hot... that puts us in a room with just us, but we're all on the same boat and wearing the same tight shirt. There is never enough craziness when it comes to cooling stuff down. Edit: Have you thought about buying a pump to make the water move? I wonder if this would work like an oven where hot air circulates helps bake things evenly? Good point, overclockers are just a small group compared to everyone else, and people using coolers are even smaller than that.
toolmaker_03 : ok that is cool, i don't have two freezers, but i do have one stand up freezer and it can hold about 30 gallons. do you think that will get me to about six hours of game time or would that be three? 30 gallons? You need to read this thread again. With 8 gallons of water in the cooler I can only add 2 jugs of ice at one time? If i drop the water level to 7 gallons, I can add 3 gallon jugs of ice, but that will drop me down to condensation producing levels and i don't want or need to go that low. Any cooling you can attain below ambient room temperature even just 3c below ambient changes overclocking headroom drastically. 20c is 3c below my ambient room temperature, i use 20c as my change out point and swap to 2 freshly frozen jugs, 30minutes later i am at 15c and it takes about 4 hours to get back to 20c. i can game all day long if i want even with the GPUs added to the mix swapping out 6 gallon jugs 2 at the time, that leaves 4 fully frozen in reserve still in the freezer. FYI, i don't game for 12hours at the time, i don't know your gaming habits, but maybe this clears it up some.
