Re: Thermaltake merge chassis and fridge technology…chilly
Did they say anything about a problem with water condensation within the chassis due to the extreme variation in temperature?

Re: Thermaltake merge chassis and fridge technology…chilly
I dont think the unit is capable of cooling a CPU much below ambient, so condensation should not be an issue.
Nice idea - needs more attention to detail to be a retail unit. I will watch it's progress with great interest. Mav |

Re: Thermaltake merge chassis and fridge technology…chilly
The CPU was running at 28 degrees - it was a VERY hot room at the back of the booth.
I havent detailed this in the article as i still need to go back and get machine specifications if its still here. Matt |

Re: Thermaltake merge chassis and fridge technology…chilly
And if it sounded like a fridge then that would be too noisey for my liking.
Still, a clever idea and one to keep an eye on. I'm actually surprised no one thried this earlier. |

This is interesting but they need flexible hose to fit ANY motherboard. I would consider replacing my watercooling with something like this if: a: it does a gpu too b: it's quiet - i'm guessing this will have lots of compressor noise aka a fridge? |
