I want to know if this water cooling project will work.

Please don't bump your thread every 5 hours... once a day or so is acceptable, but it gets a bit annoying after that.

I'll read this whole thing a bit later, have to head to sleep now.

So Howard, you don't believe in the properties of Aluminum over Steel.
Let me know in your infinite wisdom what you think what I said is wrong.
The mobo fits on an aluminum sliding tray in an aluminum case.
This setup doesn't help to dissipate heat? A floating mobo with excellent air circulation.

"How are these factors contributing to higher heat dissipation?"

Do I have to draw a picture? No a picture worth a 1000 words.

I always wait for your input. You always try to correct. Maybe you should stick to the facts.

Just so you know, that picture is of airflow....

and aluminum is definatly a better heat conductor than steel, because it's steel but with the molecules stretched and lined up but, the affect on overall cooling in a computer is maybe, MAYBE 5%.

sorry for all of the bumps, i was wanting to know because i hvae almost all of the stuff to complete it, and if was not going to work i would not purchase anymore things for it.

That's one engineering feat that's awesome. You really put in a lot of work. You're on the right track and given time, I pretty sure you will improve the packaging. If your invention catches on, you got a future. Keep going, because I like your ideas. As a former engineer, I can see the potential, good luck.

60% of this thread is either "bump" or "up".... Enough already.


As for your setup, looks fine and dandy and all that, but I really think its an overkill... You aren't going to be generating nearly enough heat to require that much disspation power (which still depends on the pumps and what not, but in general)

And those multiple 80mm fans are no where near as efficient as a single large fan would have been. Might be hard to find at a computer store, but I doubt it at a junk yard - should have looked for one while you were there, but no big deal.

What fluids do you plan on running through this??

the pump is going to be a DD D4, i got the 80mm fans because i could buy them in bulk (6 pack) and combined they move alot of air. the fluids i have no idea, it has to be non-conductive though, i dont want ANY problems
