HX1000 enough for two 5970's?

I dunno....LAN Parties perhaps? Conventions?

Laptops are NEVER as powerful as a full fledged PC.

I am however considering holding off on ordering my mosfet blocks now that I saw the Rampage Extreme III.
lol This isn't for bragging rights or e-peen size its just cuz I love working on PC's which is why I don't do budgets.

Nothing wrong with that...I enjoy nice HW as well....seems some think you have to be a Liquid Nitro Head to enjoy great HW, otherwise the "e-peen BS" gets thrown in thier.....enjoy your HW...!!

This I doubt very much. You'd have to have some Insane heat going into the fridge to counteract its cooling ability. Considering Compressors 1/4 the size work for Phase Change....
Espically considering the average fridge can 'Move' about 1600W worth of heat at any given time.

Give or take.



I want proof, or I call BS on this.

I agree. Running a full high end gaming PC inside a fridge is a perfectly plausible scenario which I think would work perfectly if you could ensure condensation never ever forms.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought it wasn't that a fridge couldn't handle the heat, it's that it couldn't handle the constant load. I thought that was the case anyways, that'd you'd kill it pretty quick.

you also have to consider that a phase cooler is only cooling the CPU; not the CPU, the HDDs, the video card/s the PSU and the components on the motherboard.

[Soultribunal]

Yes I do take that into consideration. But even when cooling the entire Computer I highly doubt there is 1600W (Average too, there are better fridges outt here) of heat generated.

Condesation would be an issue but a fridge has more than enough capability.

Anywho, total off topic with the thread, my mistake there.


Enjoy the 5970's mate, your HX should do fine.

ST

This fridge cooling was tested, and found to be inadequate. Example:

Info: Fridge as PC Cooler - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
putting the "fridge as a cooling system" to rest - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

[matsta31]

I personnaly prefer the toaster mod. One can use the heat generated to grill your morning toast to perfection. Cant find the link right now......

You guys need to remember that a phase change cooler is also not going to air its harnessing the compressors power and transferring it DIRECTLY to the CPU. A fridge has a temp sensor and its compressor would run at 100% 24/7 until it eventually failed and your computer heated the insulated case until it blew up. We should get Mythbusters to something on this .

lol This thread has gone way off track.
