Here it is, the good bad and the ugly ....
Adding a rad to this system turned out to be an epic fail. Adding the ambient to the loop did raise the idol temps to a comfortable level that would in fact never condense.
However the Boreas unit simply does not have to capacity to cool the added heat that is added to the loop
Ambient = 20C
1.408v 4889MHZ (75) (79) (74) (67) = 73.75C
While these results were for told by Rick I could have saved a lot of work by listening ........... But I had to find out for myself and had some fun doing it and was able to bring pretty strong results being the test conditions were controlled as close as I possible could to obtain viable results
Here is a table showing all the results from the test in one place
While this is not the typical here at OCA as we are usually talking about chillers, Phase, dice or Ln2 temps this unit seems to be pretty much a joke in those terms. However I am not trying to compare this unit in those terms, but in terms of a water cooled 24/7 rigs
While it is undisputable this unit does have limited capacity, It is also undisputable that it is crushing ambient water to the tune of 15C, in those terms this unit is nothing less than impressive as all of us have played with water and fought over a few degree's sometime or other. So while I was Hoping for a 20C to 25C advantage over ambient water I find it hard to be disappointed with the results
To sum it the final spec going into my upcoming build will be small res w/D5pump. I will be using a higher quality high flow block to maximize flow in hopes to grab a degree or two. I will be surrendering a few degrees as I am opting to use the Yates Silent fans as the trade off is worth it for a 24/7 rig IMO
