Water Cooling H110i GT (Fan modding)

[Wolfsblut]

hi guy,
i just saw recently this video which they make 40x 120mm fan on a H110!!

YouTube™ Video: Ultimate Corsair H100 Cooling Mod

We take one H100, and then fit it with 40.... Yes 40 Corsair SP120 performance fans just because we can to see what the performance is like.

now i had an Idea..maybe doing sth similar with 280mm fan and a H110i GT!

You think the H110i GT Fans on the places where just 1 140mm was placed could be also useful as H110 when i put like 10 on the Radiator?
i would like to get the CPU very cooled since my FX 8350 is terrible heat maker in my room and i saw the Intel was running on even highter TDP than my FX will run.

I like to hear your mind/opinion about such a fan modding for the radiator hehe

First of all if it really was just closed loop cpu cooler there is no way it will cool below room temperature (or make room colder :p). Seems some sort of practical joke on people who know nothing about physics.

You mean the video was faked?

clc can cool below room temp
he does not know how cooling can work

look for some 140mm fans with high static pressure for rads

It would be awesome. THX.
I still need to figure a way how to build it (so that it wont brake any part of the Radiator)

Who?
If you mean me then you obviously don't. Or explain how pushing room temperature air through radiator can cool circulating fluid cooler than air.

If adding pile of fans would cool below room temp all competitive overclockers would do it... but they don't.

But don't mind me... i just keep runing my custom water loop without looking back to closed loops.

ps. I read somewhere that video was faked and that maker admitted it. Anyhow it's quite obvious it's fake as he says in video that those fans are dropping room temperature too... that will never happen as power used by fans is also heating the room.

you dont know how pysics works

phase change is the easiest way, but it can be done with radiator coolers also
since the moving air over the heatsink/rad will pull heat from the rad cooling the fluid below ambient temps
if the cpu is at idle it or low load will not make much heat and can go below ambient temps

Perhaps couble C below ambient if there is zero load (and i think it would need to be mostly pull config as gas pressure lowers it draws some heat from surroundings; without pressure change there is no way to go below ambient unless evaporating something off from radiator surface)... but nothing like -10C (arround 30C below ambient?) or smth shown in video... and that was supposed to be with arround 200W load by overclocked Sandy-e running 100%.

If you say that just blowing air on heatsing would pull it below air temperature you are sadly mistaken. It's heat exhange, temperature difference is what moves heat from heatsink to air and when there is no temperature difference heat doesn't just magically decide to jump to passing by air.
Adding some water or something else that can be evaporated on heatsink you can actually make it cooler than air as liquid evaporating takes energy it needs for phase change (liquid to gas) from it's surroundings (mostly heat sink it is on) and air flow makes evaporation faster.
