air conditioner and water cooling. would i be safe to run my radiators infront of a air conditioner or can i run the hole computer in front of the air conditioner with the side off. its starting to get warm out and im getting close to 60c load. |
If you're going to do that, I'd suggest hitting the entire computer with the cooled air, to minimize any chances of condensation inside. Otherwise, you might manage to make your liquid system cooler than the air inside the case. |
just stick your computer in a fridge/freezer |
You'd burn out the fridge/freezer compressor in no time - they're designed for lower heat loads, and for periodic duty cycles. |
lol i was kidding... As for the air conditioner, I would play it safe and blow air just on the radiators - condensation sucks |
The problem with that approach is that if the A/C is doing a good job, the liquid inside the cooling system could actually wind up colder than the air inside the case. Which could (possibly) lead to condensation forming on the tubes (and blocks, even). The odds are pretty low, but better safe than sorry. If you let the cold air go inside the case as well, that will prevent the problem entirely. And the rest of your system gets a little extra cooling in the bargain. |
thanks for the input guys. when i get all moved into my new place i will set it all up so it cools the hole computer. great that means cutting up another case. |
