I want to purchase the ECX-800 chiller to use for benching. I am thinking that the chiller alone would not give the results I am looking for. Condensation will happen quickly where I live given the dew points and temps and I doubt I would see much difference in clocks at those temps. I was looking up walk in freezers trying to get an idea or two of how I could run the chiller at max low. Would using a lab freezer at -30 to -85C with the chiller work for getting negative GPU temps? I know the limitations of using a freezer for pc cooling. The chiller and pc would be running 2-4hrs a day and I think it would remove most all of the heat. Any ideas on this and how to get the GPU to sub-zeros?

They are in stock finally and I almost pulled the trigger last night. Looking at TiN's chart for the KP, I believe that I need to get near 0C for this card. I am not specifically looking for -30 but was wondering what could I expect GPU temps to be under load with the chiller at max vs 10C and would a really cold freezer allow me not to worry about over cycling it using a chiller. Would it even make a difference vs chiller alone? Searching for 2250 stable. edit: Yes, that would do it.

It would it depend on the freezer ? The BTU dump from the chiller & PC needs to be factored in Cheaper than a walk-in freezer ? Construct a small dedicated room or space in an existing area - Not on an outside wall. Spray foam for Max R-value on All 6 sides & use a Ductless A/C unit Even if you go this route DIY low cost sub-zero chiller for benchmarking The Cold room will have a much lower dew point

Would I be able to override the thermostat without the compressor freezing up with the ductless ac? I know they get really cold.

Some do say that the EXC-800 Portable 800W is not worth using.

What about using a subzero chiller? I saw the video posted on Youtube with that guy using the EXC-800 and also a pc cooler, whatever that was, and his 4 cards were still in the 40's. What is the lowest temp that I can recirculate through the lines? Worth? If it was 250USD, would it then be worth it? It doesn,t require rads or pumps.

See EVGA OC Lab Lots of stuff here. But with EXC-800 no you do not use radiators and the Pump is in the EXC-800 Unit.

There was a guy on xtremecooling board that made custom phase change units. It was the same time frame when I was using the Asetek Vaporchill. LDcooling has their cpu phase change, but didn't see anything for gpu. Years back, I do recall seeing GPU adapter for phase change. It'll run <40c at idle, at least mine did. Asetek included the pot housing that included a heater. The MB backplate had neoprene with a heating element, too. I used electronic conformal spray to coat the MB contacts. Dielectric grease on the cpu side. Now, everyone just uses vasaline. My system ran for days straight without problems. Some things work well under extreme cold, other parts don't like it. Not sure how effective sticking the entire unit in freezer will work. Only limiting factor is money and time. Labs typically uses -40 & -80 freezers, but they are $$$$.

I can source a -40C freezer for under 900 open box. I don't see much for GPU's either in all the DIY stuff. I see chillers that operate in the -5 to -35C range. I just figured why mess around with making a chill box when I could try a chiller that removes the heat and a really cold freezer to handle the ambient. The chiller would be outside the freezer. I'd modify and reseal it. Using a -35 chiller , I could only operate it within the freezer or deal with the mess and risks. I'd rather pay than make something this time. Something easy and effective. Oh...I see your point...fans and stuff at -40 working...yeah more thought

For mock up or to run? You have a way to hold the tubes in place or you gonna fab a bracket?

Yes That's the dude I was talking about. I thought that he had the EXC hooked up to the GC's. Nope. Dummy. Great links. Wrapping my head around accessories.

I would have had that HiFi looking chiller on the pc and EXC on the GPU's. I think he would have seen better GPU temp. Or for the kinda cash into that system, whats another 800? Right....right...?!?

Yeah, I know. It had a weak moment and had regrets immediately after. The drop from 1200 to 750 got me. Paying the 1700 with AMEX would have given me 2 years of warranty.

Koolance said they had a bad batch and sent them all back. AMEX covers used equipment? I've been looking at the Alphacool XT45 420 V.2. It has more surface area than a 480 and I like the design. Then I had an idea. I'm considering the EXC again, but need to vett the operations. I could route the EXC output into the 420 and use that as a makeshift coolant temp regulator. It would provide cooler ambient air intake for the case, while balancing off any excessively cold coolant. I'd like to the run liquid temps at 20-23C. Compressor may cycle on less frequently. Unsure how the system maintains precise coolant temp without reheat when there is dynamic heat loads from the cpu/gpu. This would occur during office productivity, web browsing, or system at idle. Assuming it works using a traditional design, as temps rises, it cycles. The exc-800 larger tank capacity should help. Thoughts?

I would have the two year warranty buying the Koolance new with the AMEX. Instead I bought a new unopened box from an ebay member. Ummm...any Idea what batch that was sent back??? I have no knowledge of how this thing works. I have a general idea but none about the thermal control and speed of the flow. I am hoping for the good grace of bcav and his extensive knowledge of everything mechanical to lend a hand.

Mine was part of the bad units; Lot Number 151871 & Serial Number EC2018020076 I am starting off at “LIQAMB” to start with and moving as needed. Maybe Sunday or Monday I will start. With these settings, it’s possible to set the liquid temperature below the environmental air temperature. If liquid temperatures reach the ambient dew point, condensation (water droplets) can form on tubing and cold plates connected to the chiller. Unless condensation is prepared for, it is recommended to keep the chiller on “LIQAMB” with a minimum value of 0°C (which keeps liquid at ambient). Remember to let is sit upright for 24 Hours before turning it on.
