I think your on the right track with the RBX...  |
I'll try to post some pics later, right now I'm packing to get ready for a trip to Atlanta. I may see if I can pick up an RBX while I'm there. I've got some pics right now, but they are all blury and out of focus.
I was wondering if the fundamental problem didn't boil down to surface area and watts. Water doesn't conduct heat all that well and, oddly enough, stuff that conducts heat better is either highly corrosive to our beloved electronics or doesn't pump very well.
Strangely enough, going to an RBX (or other similar waterblock) will probably make my ultimate goal simpler. Once I get the WC aspects ironed out, I have the parts to build a phase change water chiller, which is where I intend to end up with this. I just wanted to maximize the performance of my existing system before going to chillin'.
BTW, overall, I'm not disappointed with this project (which is all YOUR fault, BTW, because of that article at Spode's
). I've learned a lot and had a BLAST!
