etream cooling..

[haha49]

im looking for a setup that can take my computer temps way down right now its summer and my room heats up bad and it gets very hot im looking for etream ways to keep it cool has to be socket 755 going to get new case as well...

the problem is underload my computer becomes a portable heater... and heats up instead of 40-45 52-57 C

im looking at geting 2 water cooling setups.. for 1 computer on 1 will be cpu and on the other will be mb and vidio card

im runing

asus p5b
Evga 7600 Gt Ko
intell core 2 e6600
G.Skill Extreme F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2

now i want to be able to oc this but the problem i have now is im runnign
zalmon 9700 (air)
stock everything else..

Water cooling alone will help, but won't get your PC temps to below ambient temperatures. Your room heating up badly is a problem. If you want cooler temperatures, you can add a peltier to your water blocks or turn on the A/C to lower the ambient room temperature.

You should be able to get pretty good overclocks with a Zalman 9700 on an E6600 with at least decent temps. How hot does your room get?

I am also a bit confused. So are you trying to water cool 2 computers? PC1 will have a cpu water block. PC2 will have a motherboard and gpu water block? That is what it sounds like when you say you are looking at getting 2 water cooling setups.

I think he meant he wants 2 water cooling setups for one computer, one running the CPU waterblock and the other doing the mobo and video card stuff. Right?

And yeah, you won't get very far in a hot room. I'm having the same problem. I'm going to move my computer to our basement. I swear, it's like 20ºF cooler down there than my room.

ya im looking at geting a big case and fiting 2 water cooling setups in 1 pc because.. the cimputer it self genrates so much heat that it heats my room alot.. i mean you can walk out of my room and go man its cold in here and infact its actually hot.. im trying to find heat blocks that can do my mb cpu and vidio then im going to get 2 pumps and 2 radiators and make 2 resavors i dont want a pelter because of the condisation i want to spend around 400 canadian.. plus im going to need a new case if its 120mm fans ext the problem im haveing is finding the parts i need there are not that many kits to buy..

so basicly

2 pumps
2 resuvors
1 cpu block
1 mb block
1 vidio card block
tubeing and conections

and i also plan on geting a thermal amour 8800 case

If noise isn't as much of an issue as heat try using a more powerful fan and attaching the exhaust fan to a duct out your window. That should send a good portion of the heat from the computer away. Not sure how much difference it will make though - don't really have enough info on the computer but I'd guess thats under 300w unless you have lots of drives and cards.

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine << that computer wattage calculator is better than most.

So if your rooms hot anyway water cooling can only do so much, but that should be enough. I can't see your room getting past 40 or so and if you get 5 or 10 above ambient you should be fine. Before you splash lots of money try upping the case fan a bit (a good test would be to take the side panel off and point a desk fan in and see how hot it gets then) - this sounds like the air inside is getting warm to me.

when my room gets hot im 51 idle 55 full load
when my room has ac on im 31 idle 41 full load

and the mb stays stead as a rock at 42

Look, your room is a big factor in this situation. Think of it this way. Cooling for the most part (air and water) attempts to cool it as close to room temperature as possible. A perfectly efficient cooler would mean that your CPU would be as cool as the ambient temperatures in your room. But there isn't a perfect cooler and thus, every cooler has a delta. Delta is the difference between the two or the temperature of the component above ambient room temperature. Water cooling minimizes the difference because it is more efficient than air, but it won't be 0. Therefore, if your room is that hot without the PC warming it up even more, then you got a problem. Especially if you want cooler temperatures AND be able to overclock.

To my limited knowledge, there are 2 ways that I can see to solve this.
1) Lower ambient temps (your room temp) by turning on the A/C whenever your PC is on during those hot days.
2) Use a peltier to create a negative delta (going below ambient temps).

There are ways to protect your PC from condensation.

Pretty much sums it up. Your PC can really only be as cool as the environment it's in, so you'll need some way to cool your room, unless you would like to get into the risky peltiers. Room fans, keeping your windows open, and AC are good ways to lower your temps a bit.

I would get an airconditioner to keep you and computer cool and possibly allow you to overclock. something like this (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=33580-149-AW08ECB7&lpage=none).

hmm an ac for a computer this gives me an idea....:twisted:

This has been brought up by others before and I just wanna say, be careful about condensation, it could kill your PC, depending on how you implement it.

put a portable ac beside the case then have pipes going inside it
