my kinda crazy cheapo cooling rig...

UPDATE!!!
after re-sealing the the tub,i did another test today,and [drum roll] it didnt leak!!!!!!.
i was recording the temps every 5 mins with a little freezer thermometer and and a laser one.and here is what the 55 min test looked like:
time: temperature:
00 23.3
05 19.8
10 14.5
15 10.0
20 8.3
25 5.3
30 3.5
35 1.8
40 0.8
45 0.9 (note:from here on the laser thermometer read: -2.6)
50 0.9
55 0.9
now,after the 40th minute ice began to form on the radiator (i attribute this to the cheap antifreeze containing too much water...) and from there thermal efficiency went down the drain.
now pics:

looks like some kind of slushie...

epic! nicely done mate! would be interested to see a test with a slightly better quality antifreeze. Don't know if it would make a huge difference but would still be interesting to see just how much. Nice job!
 
Very very nice !!!
thanks bro,also thanks for all of you help in building this!

thanks,i would also like to see the performance,but that will have to wait for funds...
 
ok,does anyone (preferably an expert) know under what classification this would fall (for Hwbot),is it water cooling or is it phase change?
 
Im leaning towards watercooling.
Think of the guys in Europe, in winter they can just hang their radiators out their windows for the same effect :)
 
Wow, I love looking back on this thread, this thing was allot of fun... but I just don't use it any-more and that's a shame...
There isn't anyone crazy enough out there who would want to take this thing in?
 
Coming from your other thread and reading this was awesome. I hope it finds a new home with another mad water cooling fan.
