    The line between ambient water and chilled/cold

    in League Discussions

    Posted

    Some serious devils advocate playing here :D

    @ozzie Since ages everyone know that custom water is not AiO cooling, better said water loop made from part. If we play dumb, we can say "Hey but we can put chiller there or icebucket, thats still definition of custom" No, its not, thats why its there the chilled/cold option in rolldown menu. Its clear as sky itself in summer morning.

     

    @jpmboy no, you are not affecting enthusiast and as much as its true, you should mark the submitts correctly. Nothing wrong on that, right? :) In your case it might help other to understand your and their results when they are pushing hard and looking for what they can improve.

    I don't have problems with climate, its spring here and temps are low, my SS is weak and I had Inferno plugged on. I also have 2x MORA 3 PRO with Mayhems XT1 on my terrace so water is very chilled during winter. Ok, maybe you have platinum CPU but your sub is tagged as water (custom), thats not what is OK, since you asked. Not that it changes anything in your case.

     

    But enthusiast league is same of wrong submitting and that is wrong because alot of enthusiast league members should not be there, they should be in apprentice. That is the point.

    take australia for eg, where i am, right now its 28c in here and its autumn or fall as you guys call it, summer can and is quite often here from 35c to mid 40c, i bench with chilled and plain water, i have air too, my AC setting goes to 16c but it never gets there, even with it set at 16c, the ambient around it is too high, the best ive ever got from the air on is 22c ambient in the room, to a lot of people 22c is a normal living temp, so if the room is at 22c the water is at 22c, to me thats ambient room temp , more often than not im benching in 28-30c ambient for most of the year, even in winter where the temp may get to say 12c on a cold day outside the ambient inside is around 15 to 17c and once you start benching the cpu will raise that temp anyway on plain water, chilled its colder yes, but depending on the bench, cpu and voltages is the temp you're gunna get for your water, chilled or otherwise

     

    Not sure what is your point but...

     

    Yes, you're living in hot area, not good for benching, also not good for living to stay/sleep in 28°C. So yes, you have AC and cool down your house to let's say 20°C-22°C range, that's ok and that is normal. If you bench in this enviroment, it's clearly ambient.

     

    But if you coold down your house/room to 16°C and you are benching in it, it's really clear what your intention is, to cool down the water in the loop and then it's chilled. Agree?

    I say under 10 ambient is extreme,over that it is ambient,ac at 16 degrees no way is extreme,some people live at 15-16 degrees ambient in room during winter,not big deal.In fact living at under 20 room temp in winter is far better than having 20-22+.

     

    The point isn't about line between ambient and extreme but between ambient and apprentice, submitting between water (custom) and water (chilled/cold) while submitting the result.

    Not tried good coke yet, I worry I might really like it :D I run my rads outside, atm 2x MORA 3 PRO, its fun during winter really, but I moved to LN2 already.

     

    The point is, if you run AC just to cooldown the water in loop, if its should be submitted as chilled/cold water. People argues, that its not, because other people just have AC in their home for living or northmen can open the window and they want to have same temp headroom.

    Hey guys,

     

    I'd like to know your opinions on the subject: The line between chilled water and normal water.

     

    1) Temps or purpose?

     

    Is it about temps which are hard to verify. Or is it about cooling method and purpose by itself?

     

    Example:

     

    A) You live in area where is 30°C and your home is equipped with AC, so you're benching in 20°C. Ambient or chiiled/cold? I say ambient.

     

    B) You live in area where is 24°C and you run AC to 16°C or below with purpose to cool down the air so the temp of water in loop goes down, is that ambient or chilled/cold water? I say chilled/cold

     

    C) You put out rads in winter or open the window to decrease temps below normal temperatures human being lives in for 24/7. Ambient or chilled/cold? I say chilled/cold.

     

    I think weather cooling as ambient is nonsence, its all about purpose and even that some people like low temps for living, I think that no-one really lives in 18°C or below produced by AC for 24/7/365.

     

    Please kindly answer in:

     

    A:

    B:

    C:

     

    and share additional thoughts.

     

    Enthusiast league is mess really and the situation isnt really clear a there is much headroom to infinite argue what is or isnt chilled/cold.

     

    Thanks
