What is your setup like and why.
No (other) heat exchanger if there is a chiller. The only tricky but not so much part is to have a passive mixer that would diffuse/mix what comes from the two circuits together before it enters again the chip circuit.RimBlock wrote:So you would run a heat exchanger between the two loops then ?
Not that many actually. These China sites offer much better choice and the price is comparable.RimBlock wrote:Lots of cheap heat exchangers on ebay.
The one I pasted above is ~SGD250-280. Yes, it generates heat but it can cool more with the same footprint. It will also be likely less noisy. I used to have a 250l fishtank, here in Singapore with such chiller. For two servers probably not worth to have it.RimBlock wrote:Of course the chiller is not cheap and, presumably, would generate its own heat as well.
I just can't resist and have to tell how happy I am with this S$60 PowerEdge1950. It's such a nice platform to learn the servers. I invested another S$50 and now my PowerEdge (PE) is an 8 core machine (2x 4-core Xeons). Yes, this is how cheap it is to get a matching pair of the Xeons from Ebay, all inclusive. In terms of computing power I don't think anything can bit this price.
I made it into a multimedia backup encoding station so if I have anything queuing from another computer it is sent to the PE to encode. It runs either Linux or Windows 7 depending on the projects. The only problem is still the noise but I put it under a sofa in the study room and it is bearable. Still I am planning to convert it to a liquid cooling.
