why do you need that, if your not extreme overclocking, you seem to just be waisting your time always filling that crap up all day. If your going to do something do it pro, and proa use liquid nitrogen.

this is the best one:

OOOOOO EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!!! COOL YOUR PC WITH BEER INSTEAD OF A LIQUID SUBSTANCE!!!!!!!!!


Now that would rock.. a beer cooled pc that has a dispenser in your gaming headphones so you can drink and play CS: Source and not miss that headshot!!!!!!!!!


THE BEERINATOR 3000 From ALIENWARE!

Did someone say beer coolant?

OK seriously for the sake of all technology/hardware loverys. LIQUID NITROGEN is only for extreme overclocking which is limited to benchmarking your system. YOU CANNOT GAME WITH LIQUID NITROGEN. LN evaporates and sweats too easier because of the temperature of the CPU and also because it won't be in an LN container keeping it cool. Just room temp makes LN evaporate. If I was going to run my system with LN and game at the same time, I would have to constantly refill it every so often.

Ice Cubes and/or Dry ice works perfect for this setup now, because 1:Ice lasts for hours (It's taken over 8hours to 100% melt) 2:Dry ice can last more than a day (tried it already but more expensive to fill with)
Anyway, I only put ice in it for when I play more power-hogging games like COD4 and Crysis, where I can maximize my setting putting my CPU under load. I WILL NOT use LN just to play 1-2 hour game of CS:S just to refil the Copper cup so I can go for more. Its lame. ^^

I say you might as well run pee through liquid cooling too. Beer = Pee.
Video is still cool though, GJ on the find ^^

PS: No this cooling system isn't a joke. My CPU run 16-18c on idle. 20-22c on full Load. Not so bad now...is it? If I decide to just play cs:s I don't use ice at all in the cooler and still run under 26c

all i see here is you being cheap, your computer doesent need to run that cool. I know you LN does not last, but if your going to waste time and try to hard you might ass well go all the way right. Like i said quote this next time "if your not doing overclocking, its pretty useless" OK my computer runs 38deg idol with the sh*tty !@#$%^& stock AMD cooler. Im sure it would lower more if i got a real water cooling system or quality cpu cooler(that i dont have to add ice every 8 hours, which would piss me off i don't have time to waste doing sh*t like that) seriously it would be easier to keep your computer in the fridge. If your so worried about not being able to run crysis and all that, why don't you upgrade your cpu to be able to run it instead of raping the sh*t out of the one you have and yourself for doing all that. You have a good computer as is, i wouldn't bother with it id rather play my game and not worry about the ice melting or a tube leaking all over the inside of my computer, or the floor (which would also interrupt your experience) so if you like the maintenance good for you and congrats on your 16c.

man mattthew you beat a dead horse don't you, personally i think its pretty awesome that she came up with a cooling system like that. oh and BTW, she already stated more than once that LN isn't what she wanted because replacing LN is tedious, and she also said more than once, that dry ice would last for a long while so she wont need to change it every 8 hours, she was only using ice and water to test it out, AND you keep saying that she doesn't need any of that unless she is over clocking, BUT in the VERY FIRST POST she shows her stats with her processor over clocked to ~4.0 GHz. so why the huge negativity man? on top of that why every post you made here is the same thing repeated a different way.

Nice work knife girl, i think its impressive, more to the point you have some time on your hands like me, but you seem to be more creative, gives me some ideas for some new projects, thanks.

Whoa KG, Armitage wants to put it in your butt.


Also what CPU Block you using the one that came with the Nautilus? VGA Block? I remember you said you have BFG cards, did you get the ones with preinstalled blocks? Where are the Pics of the PC with the actual tubing? Cmon show us the good stuff. ;)


Nice coil, how long did it take you to "spiral" it?

[matthew0155]

all i was getting at was :for ME: its a pain in the ass, just a cheap way of getting a better cpu. Thats all. Computers are to make things easy, with hopefully no maintenance.
(here i am again repeating myself)

[Knife Girl]

I forgot to mention that the 4.0GHz OC was just the tsting OC, I had it around 5.7GHz stable. Thats when I started effectively using dry ice. When I tried to pass 5.7GHz I would get some random rediculous BSOD, So I just unclocked my mistake.

I appreciate your opinions truly I do, but I did my research too ;3

To answer your question Wargod, I went to a menards (hardware store) and found coiled copper piping, but it was a flat-coil, so I did all the bending to make it cylinder-like o_o
Friend helped sweat all the piping and the fittings (me and a torch...I dunno better I didn't ;P)

Also, on a side note, the CPU is the only thing currently in my Cooling-Loop. I wasn't completely sure of myself getting GFX cooling, because I already have my 8800s Fan controls on 100% and they run really cool around 50+c
