Welcome!

Your ceiling mounted mobo idea will have unintended consequences as it gets picked up by space challenged overclockers in cramped dorm rooms.

awesome! enjoy!

Nice, good luck on the results and make sure you dilute the anti-freeze as your flow will be killed with straight anti-freeze.

Name for ceiling rig: BAT BOX. Now you just need a box of some sort.... :laughing:

I want to do that now.... the woman is going to kill me. :ohcrap:

It's actually a little less than half water right now. Can I use Isopropyl Alcohol...I have a nice unopened 32oz bottle of 91%.....or can I not have water in there?

I never tried the alcohol route as others have tried but I reckon if you've got enough of it, you can fill the entire loop with the alc.

Finding the right mix of Anti-freeze and water for your coldest temps vs flow rate is tricky, I went by experimentation but didn't document the final ratio. How cold is the coldest your chiller will take you so far?

I don't know......from what I've read, with proper insulation I could hope for -20-30c loaded.

..............So I can have water in there then...and I have enough alcohol to fill half or more of the loop. So I guess it will become a mostly alcohol coolant solution for now.

:welcome:

Are you using the 5k btu or 11k btu unit?

I used a 7k btu and occasionally got down to -42c in the loop. You lose loads of transfer efficiency at the block however but its about getting your feet wet in sub-zero land.

You could also skip the chiller and get a cheap pot, fill it with dry ice and head into -70's :D
