The (newest) CPU cooler project.
Written 18:19 12/26/2000

Cap cut from a 3" ABS cleanout- It's the perfect size to fit over the plate on the CPU (where normal folks stick the heatsink...)
The two brass things? Water hook-ups, grasshopper.


Radiator I got (stole) from an old refrigerator out at the dump. The fan came from the same place, but unless I really get a bonfire going on the processor (s) I shan't need it running.


Celery 300a, previousely lapped for a heatsink, had a peltier attached to it at one time, now all covered with JB weld to insulate the pins from the water. (water + live electric stuff = really really bad.)

Recent news->
I had the cap siliconed to the processor, hooked to a pump and the radiator, sitting on the motherboard live.
1st processor, golden orb heat sink, 102 F full load.
2nd processor, my homeade heatsink, 68 F full load.
(On an ABIT BP6 dual socket 370 Mobo)
That's 34 F lower kids.
Both were running OC'd at 499mhz.
HOWEVER, after about 24 hours, the silicon developed a leak, spraying water all over the motherboard. Did I mention it was live at the time? Well it was. The machine froze, and I quickly disconnected all power. 48 hours later, after drying above the fire, the mobo's ok, as is all processors. (wiping forehead!!)

I shall use oil as a coolant from now on.
