andro

I seriously doubt your rig draws 400 W. Have you hooked it up to a watt-hour meter? A 400 W powersupply does not mean you are drawing 400 W 24/7.

Some of us have AD...hi, how are you?

thanks king, anyway i already know a LOT about computer hardware, i build and sell PCs online so this will not be hard as i dont have to learn anything, and if my last project was not an 'accomplishment' i dont know what is:
i built a refridgeration cooling system for PCs and it worked. i sold it to a fellow overclocker for $1000:
the flow of the r134a refridgerant i used was like so:
2HP compressor
3/8" capillary copper tube
3/8" copper tubing coiled up real tight (condensor)
3/8" capillary copper tube
3/8" copper tubing spread out in loops covered by a cpu waterblock with the tubing going in either end and in waves inside then out the other side (evaporator, there the refridgerant evaporates and absorbs heat from the cpu in the phase change)
then it goes to the graphics card (btw i got my cpu to 3.4 GHZ AMD (which is as fast as a 4.6 GHz Intel Pentium because of the integrated mem controller in the amd cpus) on this cooling and my graphics card to 700/1780)
with a small gpu water block with the barbs holding copper tubing and inside thinner tubing where the gas is recondensed and evaporates almost simultaneously taking heat away from the gpu
then a capillary tube back to the compressor
i made it so it fits in a full tower case
that was my last project btw king
dont judge be4 you know the facts

did you hear me? i have a watercooling system cooling my computer along with an array of TECs and radiators/heatercores that cool the water in the watercooling system...and my 3800+ is overclocked to the equicvalent of a 4500+ and my graphics card is voltmodded and flashed to a 7900gt
AND i have 8 case fans for pci card and MB chipset cooling
yes andro i am aware that 400W PSU doesnt mean 400W consumption lol i am not that stupid, if you read my hole post i said another computer that i built for a customer used 40W (mini-ITX carputer):
3800+ oc to 4500+ (woot!!!) on 1.55 V--110W
voltmodded flashed 7600gt to 7900gt--100W
watercooling system--120W
TECs---200w total (four 50W TEC's)
radiators and heatercores--20W total (5 radiators)
8 120mm fans--12W
optical and hard drives-- negligible
total 575 watt (adding negligible) load, 450 watt idle
so 400w is modest
and yes my parents hate me because of their electric bills

Radiators don't consume power.

Just between you and me, our definitions of knowing a lot about hardware differ. You've shown that you can do plumbing... but do you know how the hardware actually works? Building a PC is just a matter of taking some very expensive legos and putting them together.

angry_asian

when they have dual fans and LEDs and cathode lights on them they do

angry_asian

actually i have a pretty good understanding, i took a college course the summer after 9th grade academic year in the fundamentals of electronic processing...and 'plumbing' lol i think you dont realize how hard it was to build....you cant just stick the damn tubes together, maybe you got the wrong idea? like i actually designed them for optimal flow and evaporating condensing when i wanted/need it to, i built it from a compressor and copper tubing and 2 waterblocks....from scratch the condensor and dual evap were made...you know how hard it is to make a dual evap?!!! do you even know what you are talkin about sayin that refridgeration cooing for PCs is easy? i am sorry jimbo, you have been nice to me and i am not gettin gmad, i am just a bit surprised...almost no one has done it be4...even the $1000 PC phase change coolers built by prometria and other big fancy companies dont have dual evap and only cool the cpu. mine was able to cool the gpu because i was able to recondense the refridgerant with a mini TEC, SMALL coils of tubing and a mini evap in the gpu water block

DaWei

No. Fans consume power. LEDs consume power (very little). Cathode lights (whatever the fuck those are) might consume power. Radiators don't consume power. If you want blue florescents or black-light emitters in your teeny-bopper system, don't blame the power consumption on the radiators.
