Yes of course! Im not sure how much colder it actually made the air (i had no therm at the time) but it did decrease my cpu temps by a few degrees at load (added about 75mhz to my overclock - a E6600 iirc). I found it more useful for cooling videocards though. Leave the cpu for extreme stuffz

Make a loop instead of it just blowing on the board. Put the board in an enclosure (full tower works nice) and circulate the air. Run the OUT from the enclosure to the IN on the A/C...it will get colder and colder. You will need to jumper the thermostat.





Yep......another one is hooked.

That is neat. I would think that the "closed loop" principle would not work on the AC unit as it adds too much resistance decreasing efficiency. Since it worked so well for you I guess not

Need to fix the images, I see nothing :(

Sidenote though. Since you built a box for the AC unit, you could also just have built your PC into the AC box. No need for ducting then and might even help a degree or two since you will not be warming the air running it through a couple feet of uninsulated dryer ducting

Yea you have to be a member and signed in to see pics on the site....

Putting cold air into my rad box cools my loop temp considerably

I will fix post though
