^ This also my favorite thing about it. Now im working on a version of the spin -q that will incorporate Water cooling.

 

[overshocked]

How are you going to incorporate that without cuttig off half of the heatpipes?

And btw we really need to start a thread talking about experimental cooling ( =

 

[xtc28]

Actually it should be pretty easy.

Notice the terminations of the heat pipes at the top and bottom. All I have to do is cut off alittle bit of the ends and Solder on copper pipes to these for Cold/in at the bottom and hot/out at the top. The spin-q would remain the same other than this, also the 1st radiator would be the spin-q itself.

 

[overshocked]

thats a nice idea, so would you use a coule of 2-1 converters to make it all one big pipe rather than all those small heatpipes?

 

[xtc28]

yes something like that.

 

[overshocked]

that would be so sick to mod like 3 of those and they will all be your rads (=

 

[xtc28]

I have 4 now but I am only using 3 on my desk at the moment. Although I dont believe they could or should be the only radiatorsI need two rather large radiators mounted behind the motherboards in the desk. I am also thinking of using some other liquid than water as too get even colder. Phase change? I m not too sure if I really want to incorporate it at the moment But I may change my mind. I just built the 940 & ga-ma790x into the corner piece. I gotta get some batteries for my camera. Woo-hoo how cool! I like it.

Very well explained!!!! thx man... hopefully I will be able to get the mobo in a couple of weeks and can start on this new project....

I was rather saying loop like 3 of those heatsinks together to make on 3x120 rad.

And from my expieriance with phase i would say DO IT!!!!!!! [:jaydeejohn:4]
LOL

its a really fun project to do :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[xtc28]

^ But I like the way the Spin-q looks. HMMMMMMMM Phase change with the spin-Q ....... I wonder!

 

[overshocked]

wont hold the pressure. 😉

would be cool though.... if u want it to look cool get a cilly1 evap theyr pretty sick

 

[xtc28]

Why would it not hold the pressure?! These Are thick hard copper pipes here, most evaporator cores use soft alluminum for piping. I can silver solder AND I bet it would hold up better than alluminum as pressure is concerned. I may be wrong, but I dont think pressure will play a big part in its ability be used in this form.

 

[overshocked]

O, i thought those were aluminum...are they painted?

Anyways, it still wouldnt work. The part that sits on the cpu is called the "evaporator" (or evap for short) but the evap must have an open area larger than the pipes because the drop in pressure causes the refrdgerant to boil wich in turn suck up alot of heat...

I guess if you did a mod and made the bottom of it hook up to a chilly1 evap it could work but you would need some nice braze for that maybe even 45% silver. [:jaydeejohn:4]

That would be so badass!!!!!

Here is the chill1 evap mounting device

and here is the evap itself

 

[xtc28]

HOLLY Crap that looks cool!

 

[overshocked]

Haaha dont need the spin-q afterall huh?

You an make your own evap, but it is much easier to buy ur own.

It's expensive though. The mountin bracket is $50 and the evap itself is $50

I have one and its pretty damn cool it comes with alot of padding and insulation.

 

[overshocked]

Chilly1 is a boss for coming up with that desgin but asetek stole it when they made there phase change.

 

[overshocked]

I can silver solder.

People refer to it as "braze" when they talk about phase change.

 

[xtc28]

Huh OK Brazing is basically the same, its just a different rod and techniquue. silver solder will hold @ HIGHER pressures than a brazing rod.

 

[overshocked]

^^ same thing basically, i use 15% staysilv rods

^thats what i use

 

[xtc28]

HMMMM cool. Now what do you do for a living?

Whoa!!!! Nice 😱 very nice !!!!

It is very nice!

The 550 as a dual core scores about 2600 - 2700 at stock speed...so xtc28, you're right your 7750 BE is better... The 550 is great if you're looking for a good dual core or if you're planning to unlock...

 

[videl]

So overshocked, how are you planning to secure the CPU block to the motherboard?

Chilly1 makes it extrodinarly easy....

see that hole on the top?

There is an almost identicle hole in the bottom the the evaporator fits snugly into.
