Check out my toilet watercooler
sup yinz... Ive been working on this project for a few months now, and I have a stable setup, and wanted to share some pics...
I have built a standard watercooler on the PC side. I have a DangerDen 4 hole block, with spring retention, using AS3, with an Innovatek Blue LED flowmeter (led's not really visible in the pic.)
Flowmeter is hooked up to MBM5+SHDN, and works beautifully. Mobo is an Epox 8K9A, XP2500barton oc'd to 1.75v / 180x12.5 for 2262mhz or xp3100 i think.. Temps are 86 idle, 99 maxed with f@h. The tape on the hose is to prevent nicks from the hose clamps I used..
But here is where I deviate from most normal watercooling (internal rad in general that is). I have built a cooling loop from 3/4 PVC pipe, and various valves for flow direction, etc.. A Taco 1/40hp bronze cartridge circulator provides flow, and is the only flow in the system. The below cooling tap is about 25ft away from the pump, and is fed through a back-pressure technique with the red valve in the picture.
I have an adjustment from approx .25gal/min to approx 3gal/min. Its running about .5gal/min right now I`d estimate..
heres my toilet setup, in all its glory..
Costs:
Pipe/assorted fittings->$20
Block->$40
Pump->$35
Flow meter->$39
no radiator and no custom case mods saved me a good bit of $... pc isnt portable tho.. owell...
And, no, my system doesnt lose circulation when the toilet is flushed.. I have the suction below the minimum water line on the toilet.
Well, lemme know whacha think... I plan to cool my GF4200 next... hmmm
peace
