Re: another watercooling disaster.
I was wondering when someone would come up with that gimmick to clean out idiot's wallets.Originally posted by sofTest
[It's a radiator mounted in a tank of water. - Big fat hairy deal...]
Back around '99-'00 they were charging $1000's for these cases with built in refer units in the bottom to cool those HOT HOT P3's.
Then back in '97-'98-ish it was Peltier Coolers.
[They even had them for those 486 infernos.]
So tell me....
If it's 'Total Submersion' ,,, then why do they need tubes.
Incidentally. True natural circulation doesn't work very well with water as the fluid because water will stratify into different temperature layers and not mix. You need some form of agitation to prevent stratification.

Re: another watercooling disaster.
Hot P3?
In all the time I worked on P3 based all the way from coolest 533 (15W socket type) to hottest PIII 1.13 and any Tualatin based CPUs, I had no issues with cooling even with retail heatsinks. What on earth what you having problem cooling these? It is all in the heatsink and how well PC's air flow is. Doesn't have to be hurricane-force wind.
The hardest to cool was Athlon socket 462 and P4 prescott. But the basic rules of good heatsink and PC air flow still applies. Majority of these I used retail heatsinks for Intel CPU and for Athlon, I used copper bottom with alumium fins (compressed type) not the shrived or stamped fins. Heatpipe heatsinks are also good if it is quality design.

Re: another watercooling disaster.
No, everything except the HDs is submerged in the fluid. From the article in Norwegian I read about this, they thought the fluid to be some kind of perfluorocarbon, my be 3M fluorinert. That might explain some of the price on the rig, as it costs almost US$400 per litre. If true, and as it's used to cool Crays, it can't be all useless, if you got to much money to put in a rig.Originally posted by PCBONEZLast edited by sofTest; 07-07-2009, 05:59 PM.------------

Re: another watercooling disaster.
This reminds me of the time I was building my PC last year. The sales person at Tiger Direct kept forcing it on me to buy the on sale watercooling DYI kit. I just kept telling him

I obviously did not buy it......Comment

Re: another watercooling disaster.
I think it's a hoot that they still push this stuff.
CPU heat/watts peaked at about 800FSB P4 Prescott / Socket 604 Xeon in the 120-160 watt range [both of which could be cooled well enough with a decent air cooled setup] and then heat dissipation dumped to like 40-65 watt range with the Core Architecture.
-
People have the fast = hotter idea locked into their brain and since Netburst based CPU's went away it simply isn't true anymore.
-
There are dual core Xeons that only use 35-40 watts and most common C2D are around 65 watts.
Cooling chips like those is a breeze [pardon the pun] and you just don't need anything fancy or exotic.

Re: another watercooling disaster.
If I had to make these water cooling systems leakproof (or as close as humanly possible).
I'd use copper tubing with soldered joints. All metal and none of that plastic crap through and through. I say solder because compression fittings suck and leak easily if not installed properly.
You could flare the tubing as a close second to soldering.Last edited by Krankshaft; 07-16-2009, 09:17 PM.Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.Comment

Hello All,
tl;dr: minimal electronics experience and my first repair, lifted 8 pads off the laptop display LED controller board when attempting a connector replacement, options are attempting pad repair or jump wiring.

So I'm probably a decade behind on this, but my current NAS is a low power machine I built in 2009. It was originally running Windows Home Server, then eventually I migrated to Windows 10 using Storage Spaces for my drive expandability and redundancy. Despite being slow for W10, I love the familiarity and functionality so I never bothered getting into NAS specific OS.
Hardware wise, it's got 4x drives but the hardware is all super low draw, so the Antec EarthWatts EA380D power supply is barely above ambient. This PSU is apparently known for capacitor issues but when I went in to... -
Hello,
Here I have GYSMI 160p welder with no output. Otherwise the machine is starting, the fan is spinning, but the output is zero... I disassembled the welder and found the problem. 3 out of 6 transistors are shorted, and 3 pairs of 4 resistors are burned... There's also 1 burned "ultra fast diod" on another board that is connected to the transformer. My question is how can I identify these burned resistors, I have no idea what value they should be, also I am not able to find any image of the board over the internet... The other part numbers are clearly visible, so I... -

It was probably dropped there due to the fact that no sound gets out, nor speakers, nor headphone
Everything seems to work. Just have to clean the volume encoder, but the remote is fully controling it.
Relays are closing (it looks like from a first look into the beast) that there are a lot of them.
When I switch it from standby to live, they react, I can hear a little static noise in the headphone. the same when switchin it off.

Hello!
I bought this board but isn't powering on. Seller told me it was fine and stable.
Got it for a dime but it supports NX models.
Ths cpu it came with works fine and the 2gb are error free (2x1gb).
https://www.asrock.com/mb/VIA/K7VT4A%20PRO/#BIOS
I inspected the board many times and no component gets crazy hot, not even lukewarm; no traces are cut or damaged.
Battery is fine on its circuit.
The ASM1117 outputs 3.5V instead of the usual 3.3x I saw in many other boards.
