Obviously only for your uber OCers since who else would spend a grand to keep their system that cool when your hard core gamer could simply use that money to put towards a nice water cooling system and high end hardware.

This is pretty old news , its phase change cooling. Its the same exact method that refrigerator makers have been making for over 30 years. In fact for about $200 you can make one yourself.

Although I guess not many people have heard of it because commercial models run so high.

So where can we find weaker systems to set our components in the 15-20*c range?


I've heard of the idea of people putting their system IN a mini fridge or running hoses out of a mini fridge into their systems intake but I've never heard of this kind of cooler.

Only problem with mini fridges is the condensation issues that would short everything on you. I think it was TGS that had one in a R2, or it was crazybillybob. They ditched them to make more room I think.

You wouldn't run hoses out of the fridge you would rip the compressor and everything right off of it and mod it into your computer.

If you know what your doing and use the right insulation condensation shouldn't be a problem.

True. I would love to do some overclocking and extreme cooling but, I can't afford to mess i tup either right now.

any house hold fridge or freezer will not handle a constant heat load, it will wreck the compressor from running 24/7 which it's not meant to do.


any time you go below ambient you run the risk of condensation.
