TiN Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I just would like to know are there many folks who have subzero for everyday rig, not for records/reviews work? I know there were people in old ages which did run subzero systems for gaming/every day stuff, but are there any today? Subzero meaning, at least a phasechange chiller.

zzolio Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have a friend that do use ss for a gaming system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apfelkuchen Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Playa from PCGHX did this in Sandy times, he had his 2600K at 5.6GHz 24/7 with single stage. But I think his board died after a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildzoid Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm working on a 24/7 400W TEC setup. It will idle subzero for sure but it won't hold under load. It might be able to keep Broadwell subzero even under load but I already have a 4.8Ghz 4790K on order so I won't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiN Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 TEC ain't real subzero, by any means, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildzoid Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 TEC ain't real subzero, by any means, sorry It just has to go bellow 0 doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiN Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 See the first post You will not get below zero under load with any reasonable TEC setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildzoid Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 See the first post You will not get below zero under load with any reasonable TEC setup. well I guess most people wouldn't be OK with using 400+W 24/7 so I see your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 phase change cooling has a similar or even higher power consumption so that's actually not a problem using TEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildzoid Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I thought phase change was more efficient. So at like -10C with a 200W load the phase change cooler would use less power than the TEC. But if their equal I think I'm going to upscale my design to 600W for use with AMD CPUs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Most chillers/single stages consume 500-1000 W depending on the exact performance. They are indeed much more efficient TEC works best at 50% Load so that means if you want to cool 100 W you need at least 200 W TEC. BUT in total that's 300 W of energy which needs to be removed from the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoF Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 10 years ago I would have screamed "here I am"... These days...not knowing anyone still running his good old Mach I or Vapo 24/7... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Trouffman Posted May 27, 2015 Crew Share Posted May 27, 2015 SAme I would have raised hand... 8/ 10 years ago when i was still building some SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george.kokovinis Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Wow... Quite a few old timers here. I ran 24/7 a Vapochill XE II on a Prescott 3.4 - 478 socket - at 4.5ghz on an Asus P4C800E-deluxe revision 2, with 2gb Kingston HyperX-533 ram. Good times. Never broke down. Three years day in and day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TASOS Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Since this thread tends to be an oldtimer's one ... I had the 1st Prometeia Mach-I in Greece (directly by Chip-con aps) back in June 2002. 6 months in a row 24/7 folding with an athlonXP @2.8Ghz ... the poor Athlon didnt make it at the end Anyway. 24/7 on phase-change is not a good option , especially on high humidity climate.

TiN Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Say hi to that fil(th)y man. I had few DIY SS systems and chillers 5+ years ago, not fancy production units Just had an idea of doing something for hardcore 24/7 people, but seems there are none alive as of today So product death declared due no target audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
