Anyways the 2nd loop I added going through the chiller dropped the gpu temps from the low 30s to the low 20s idle...... which is perfect for them. I hope it lasts awhile, geez I just got it working.

If it quits working good before I get my new thermometer I'm going to be highly irritated.

It'll be gradual so at least you'll have some fun with it

And if it totally fails, I've got the prescription for yah which you'll find is by far more exciting

Till then...........Froster the FEVER!

I have a theory......when the consistency of the coolant turns to slush and the evaporator is all covered in thick slush.....it no longer works very well to cool the coolant.

OR.....the coolant, once it turns to slush cools much slower. Like if you have a freezer full of water bottles....when they freeze up today they will not be as cold as the will tomorrow if left in the freezer. Ice cools slowly.

OR.....my chiller won't take anything below -31 C anymore, when last week it took some coolant down to -45 C. All I have left to thin it with is that jet fuel I got the other day mixed with antifreeze. I'll try a gallon or so and see if it helps tonights chilling.

EDIT: here is a picture of the slightly chilled gpu loop.

My theory has developed into the theory that when the evap has slush all over it, it doesn't work well. Not sure if it's my whole brew, or if it's just part of it seperating and getting stuck to the evap. I have been scooping it out with a plastic ruler. Hopefully I'll get enough of it out.
