Single stage inside Case

[jinu117]

If you remember what I went through before, this is upgraded version of previous prototype. I am still waiting for my condenser and compressor for finilizing the design so using old mach II condenser and compressor with newer revision of chilly1 evap is utilized. Froster-X is there but it isn't installed yet as I am waiting for AC adapter for it. BTW, Thanks for the sidewindow NJKid32 (I just borrowed it lol getting one myself next time I drop by my supplier)

Froster-X LCD... will replace picture when I get froster running.

PSU was meant to be sitting at bottom but I couldn't get extra length for few cables on this full sized case. Will have to look into extenders. Pointers are welcome. (especially PCI-e extender)
Bottom is NJKid32's case that has proper orientation to allow best airflow.

I love this stock window that is made by lian-li. Very clean.

Innard of system.

Before putting into case and load testing tuning.

As usual, X2 running 1.7-1.71v 3.1ghz 2xballistix, etc. Like Idle temp?

Again, same setting running dual prime

Unfortunately, these wonderful temp is not same inside case. #1. evaporator lost bit of efficiency leaning sideway, #2. Case airflow is still bit less than ideal. I would need to use something stronger than Panaflo M1A to really get back the temperature. However, I chose not to as being silent and cool is what I am aiming for. Total temperature lost is about 3-4c whic is more than acceptable as even with the temperature increase, it is well over 10c colder than stock vapochill LS

Once new compressor, condenser, misc parts I asked lian-li to make arrives, I will get next revision of prototype up

Holy crap that's sweet. What are you doing about the power supply just kinda dangling there?

 

[jinu117]

I made bracket that bolts psu supporting it. I am currently in process of contacting lian-li to make proper bracket for such use.

Do you have a Kill-o-Watt or similar meter? What's the power draw of that setup?

1.21 Jigawatts of power.

Yes I do have kill-a-watt(s). I need it for measuring power draw, heatload tester, etc
It consumes 220 Watt or so Idling, 250 watt under extremely heavy load, and about 600W+ at initial startup (which goes down quickly as temp gets lower)
It is in ball park of what Vapochill LS or mach II unit would consume. What I am waiting anxiously is for energy efficient compressors that only uses 50-70% of above mentioned power. I've placed order for few back in late september but it isn't coming in here till early december. (Energy efficient Danfoss model)
I have some compressors that are bit more energy efficient than above sample which I will be using for next 5-10 units that I would estimate consuming 140-180watt but would have 1-3c higher temperature than above unit. If interested feel free to message me here or e-mail me. I will put some more update with Froster X fully functional tomorrow (LCD with controller to start up computer, shut down, fan control, etc)
