new cooling invention works great!!!!!!!!!!!

[Starcraft_Ak]

we had an old 6,000 btu air conditioner that had a bad fan so we replaced the unit. well i desided about 3 months ago to make a cooling device out of the compressor. i re-did the coiling on the thing so that i could run the tube through the steel block and filled the compressor w/ freon again(got from black market shhhhhhhh don't tell). i used the power supply fan to blow on to the hot coils to cool them off. i used a funnel w/ a tube going into a container to catch the condinsation and the compressor plugs into a switch that leads to the wall socket. i really don't need it i'm just o/cing my k6-2-350 to 450 but i thought what the hell and now i get ice areound my processor this sucks cuz when i turn it off i have to wait for the **** thing to dry bfore i can turn it on again. any ideas on how to stop condinsation.

a lot of insulation every where you can get it
If you never want to take it apart you can use the spray foam stuff http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

best bet is to get foam in diff thickness and cut it to fit very good around the prosesser etc etc some very thin stuff to go between the chip and sockit and the cut round stuff to go around all the tubing

just make sure there is no place left for air to be

You will continue to get minute amounts of condensation on the back side of the CPU and possibly the back side of the motherboard unless you figure a way to insulate those as well. If you do not, the moisture will eventually corrode the socket pin connectors and your CPU/motherboard can suffer permanent damage.

You really do not need that much cooling, of course, but I understand your thinking; "I do it because it can be done."
