Some of the items are one-time purchase and could be re-used. If you already have the tools, building a phase change cooling will be cheap. Just need to spend around RM500 - RM600. How about that?

then maybe we can pay u some xtra n u build us 1...

Building one is not an issue...but transportion is. A phase change can be quite heavy even for a mini one. If you are in JB, then building one wouldn't be an issue.

ahhh
i see
actually plan to play one also. but alot easier, simpler
now have one old a/c radiator. looking for second 1

Simpler one?...Build a normal phase change lor...single compressor. since you already got a condensor....all you need is a compresor...small one will do just fine (Try to get a hermatic compressor coz its very quiet. Perhaps 1/3HP will be sufficient for a modest -20c) , A suction hose (copper braided ones is best but cost a lot - another alternative is just use copper pipes....but the downside is that its not flexible - can save a a few hundred $$$ here) , CPU evaporator (Use a copper block 2"(L) X 2"(W) X 1"(H) and a copper plate 2" X 2" X 3mm) , cappilary tube (Use 0.031mm diameter cap tube) , filter/Drier , some access valve.

Thats actually not much..just slightly more than a good WC kit..

Haha..if can spend money to build one can la spend a bit to transport it..

Yes slightly more than a good WC kit but temps very very much better. I've already poisoned Kerryking into phase cooling already.

phase cooling is really nice but the setup for noobs looks hard and risky...extremeocer your the man..

haha somehow i never did like phase... maybe cant udnerstand the tech...

prefer dice

high price to maintain this stuff. not to mention the time to setup.
@TS, thanks for the efford to bring this up.

high price to maintain???? nah....start up is ex$ because of the tools. Other than that its really cheap...just like setting up a top of the line WC system but with much much better temps.

i think maintanance oso not much... my room a/c only service once a year... hahaha... but really, i need to consider how to pack it nice n can send over to sabah... sending over doesn't cost much... rm180 per square meter... rm500 to rm600 enuf to build a phase change??? i have a wc system now... but phase change only good by little xtra??? hmmm... i never have the time to build 1 (oso lack of knowledge, chemistry idiot here)...

no servicing required...do you service your fridge? haha. its not the size...but weight though a compact one doesn't really weight that heavy. With sub zero temps, you have no fear running high vcore. With air and water 1.5v to 1.6v is already considered too much...but with phase, 1.8v is nothing.

any sample of the whole cooling kit ? so it will come with the big tank also...?

bro y u need sample? u want to buy ke? no the big tank not included.. unles u wnat to buy it.. its just the gas for teh loop.. once u charge/fillt he loop with gas tehn u dont need the tank agian untill u charge it again..

i see... then one more question..


then, when it is that cold... dont the whole mounting including the cooling system pipes come out water because it is so cold ?

Thats why you can see there is insulation on the mobo...front and back. Copper pipes also insulated to prevent condensation. That's not all....under the cpu has also dielectric grease. All this steps is a must to ensure a smooth journey to high clocks

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/520750

Three heatsinks, two fans, and one heatpipe (soon to be two) -- total cost Rm80

bro i dont think that is conseder extreme cooling lah.. extreme modiing ok lah.. but not extreme cooling.. unless tha can do subzero temps...

I'll let you know if it does ! I wonder if after all this you can play the latest games on max settings, maybe if you do this to the GPU as well (and then there's the RAM, and all the MOSFETs and whatnots I'd love to run WiC or Lost Planet smoothly just once... that must be some experience
