Well in case anyone was wondering what was up...I'm having pump problems.

What kind of pumps work @ -30c........what do people use successfully on these chillers? Thanks...I'm pulling my hair out here. Diaphragm pumps have rubber diaphragms which are hardened by the cold and then don't work correctly. Impeller pumps are way too loud. I'm thinking people must use piston pumps.....

........any info would be great.

Well after another days worth of hard labor, I have it working with the loud ass impeller pump. CPU is @ 7c right now, but I've had a lot of trouble getting Windows....computer has frozen up like 3 times...all with some form of overclocking...right now at setup defaults.

I think I may have toasted the chip getting it hot that day when the pump quit working on me and I didn't notice until the computer crashed because that pump was quiet. This pump does not work quite as well as the diaphragm pump, but it wont freeze up. 8c now @ stock....I hope it isn't fried.
