Watercooled Power Supply

[ZombieJesus]

I need a watercooled powersupply min 350 watts with a strong 12v rail something above 20 Amps. Does such a creature exist? or perhaps any of you know of a fanless 1u standard psu?

no, i have never seen a watercooled PSU and it seems like a bad idea, it allows for the electricity from the capacitors to discharge into your cooling system, allowing it to fry what ever is hooked up to it, CPU, GPU, water pump.

18A@12V, pretty close to 20A.

SNT is a great company to do buis with, have done it several times myself. Very fast, and great communication. Link to them in my sig, as well as my PC with some of their parts.

Google "water cooled power supply." I doubt such a creature exists though. Maybe soon.

Here's a fanless PSU.

Read my link above you. There are some out.

Dang that really is hot. I"d get one if it weren't so pricey. I'd also definitely get one if they're good for overclocking hehe.

I plan on making the jump to a fanless power supply when I get my Reserator. It's either going to be a SilenX or CoolMax. All of the fanless power supplies currently available seem to have a lot of problems with longevity\reliability, but that's not really a big concern to me.

It is nice, but I wouldn't dare have one without some sort of flow metering system.

Somehow I looked at the links above, but I didn't see a water cooled PSU. Just a few fanless and "quiet" fanned ones.

Awsome. I wonder if a Reserator would work w/ a high powered processor, high powered video card and a PSU?

You could always slap a 360gph pump on that baby. 🙂 The performance curve on convection cooling increases as heat relative increases.

Yeah, but I wonder if the system would be useable (foldable 24\7) hooked up to all three of those high powered items. I see these people saying the Zalman only keeps their processors at 38C compared to 34C @ load with other water coolers, and I laugh. As long as mine stayed under 80 or 85C and was stable, I wouldn't care. It's all about the sound of silence.

That's the one aspect of the Res 1 that hasn't been covered by any of the reviews I've read, even the AT review. How well does it worked under full-load for extended periods? Under the right circumstances (like those you mentioned), I could see thermal runaway.

So we're talking about 3 Mile Island in my bedroom then? 😀

 

[HardWarrior]

Potentially, and followed by a small-scale version of Love Canal. :laugh:

 

[Nebor]

I'd be willing to test it out, but I know NOTHING about water cooling. Does the Zalman only have 2 hoses or can you add another one to hook up to that power supply?

 

[HardWarrior]

Near as I can tell it doesn't come with very much extra tubing, and the diameter of it may or may not match the OD of the water-cooled PSU.
