Hey folks
Before I start: Yes, I know this is neither reasonable, nor convenient. This is about the joy of constructing and doing oversized projects. 😉
So coming to the topic:
Recently I saw Linus's video about evaporative-pc-cooling (pc bong cooler, you will find this on youtube) and I was exited about the Idea. As Linus also said in the video, this type of cooler is loud and thus not reasonable for every day usage. This leads us to my Idea: I want to build a water-cooling loop with normal radiators for air-cooling. After the radiators I planned to add a water/water heat exchanger wich connects the pc water loop and the loop of the evaporation cooler, so that i can use him as an additional "cooling-booster"
In one hand this type of cooler is just bad ass cool. In the other hand it helps to hold descent temperatures in the summer time. During this period my pc heats the room up to 30 degrees celsius and thus makes air cooling far less effective. Here the evaporative cooler shows its potential. Using this method it is theoretical possible to get cooling temperatures below the room temperature.
Further my plan was to build an automatic on switch for the additional cooler based on the temperature of the cooling liquid. Combined with a full glass cooling tower and some RGB lighting this should become easily darn good looking pc rig. 😀
There are two reasons why I opened this thread. At fierst: I hope we can discuss this whole project. At second: I don't know wich kind of heat exchanger i shall use. Does just strapping two CPU water blocks together make sense ?
My pc specs are pretty average:
CPU: I7 3930k
Mobo: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
RAM: 22gb 1600mhz
GPU: 2x GTX 760 2gb
PSU: 650W BeQuiet!
I'm looking forward to your Ideas and advices. I hope you have as much fun tinkering around about this project as i have.
Best regards from Germany
