May 19, 201511 yr 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.
May 20, 201511 yr 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.
May 25, 201511 yr 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.
May 26, 201511 yr Author See the first post You will not get below zero under load with any reasonable TEC setup.
May 26, 201511 yr 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.
May 26, 201511 yr phase change cooling has a similar or even higher power consumption so that's actually not a problem using TEC
May 26, 201511 yr 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.
May 26, 201511 yr 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
May 27, 201511 yr 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...
May 28, 201511 yr 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.
May 28, 201511 yr 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.

Hipro5 had a Prometeia Mach-II. By the way, where is the "professor" ???
May 28, 201511 yr Hipro5 had a Prometeia Mach-II. By the way, where is the "professor" ??? George (aka hipro5) is fine , but he's out of the bench-games. We talk every now and then.
June 2, 201511 yr Author 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
June 2, 201511 yr OC market is already niche, you wanna create a niche on a niche, daring. I'll buy one
