Had an idea for a water cooling loop that links into your house's piping system to deliver cold water from the underground, flow it over all the water blocks in the computer, and the hot water would pass into the sewage system (or the hot water heater) where it's someone else's problem. Please lack of artistic skills.
>no pump required, water pressure from plumbing circulates water
>no radiators required
>no fans required (motherboard chipsets could simply have heatsinks swapped for larger ones that can be passively cooled)
>no noise (except HDDs and water flow)
>cold inlet water from underground
>heat carried out of house, not recirculated back into room
Great idea until the utilities get shut off because someone at the water company thinks you've gone on vacation and left your hose running.
How much will this raise my water bill?
Have your loop sit between your water heater and your pipes, then it just closes the loop when you're not filling the hot water tank.

>water bill
valid point, anon
>>54877734
This is the biggest waste of water I've ever seen.
>2.5 gallons per min @ $0.002 per gallon
>>54877734
Looks good, but it wouldn't be good because of what the other anons mentioned. Your water bill will get very expensive.
>>54877846
That's like $86 a month just on water
>>54877734
>2016
>not using optical drive
>>54877734
Wow nice. Slightly better than a normal watercooling loop and only several hundred times more expensive
Why havent they made some sort of cooler with freon and can cool like a mother fucker? I imagine it would waste a lot of power hmmm
>>54877927
Condensation
You'd be better off designing a radiator type thing where the heat pipes went into your basement floor, and have a good enough pipe to move that water around, the floor would absorb the heat.
>>54877734
Protip water cooling uses oils not water, otherwise leaks would short your system
>>54877927
Just buy a minifridge and build your computer inside of it.
>>54877927
Freon requires a license to handle. A good alternative would be r134a, which is the stuff that's used in car AC systems.

>>54877974
I think you CAN use water instead of oil, but it's more dangerous in the event of a leak.
>>54878007
Well yeah any of that stuff but I guess condensation is a big issue
>>54877778
OP is an uinderage who doesnt have to pay his water bill so the little shit doesnt care and thinks no one can touch him
SOMEONE SHOULD KILL HIM
This would be expensive, your computer would be stuck in one location, and in order to move it for repairs or upgrades or whatever, you would have to very carefully remove it from the pipes in order to not spill any water onto anything, as the system couldnt be drained like a regular water cooling system with an internal tank could be.
Honestly, if you want something for ease of cooling, submerged mineral oil build.
>>54877927
Asetek used to make cases with compressor cooling back in the early 2000s. I saw a Asetek Vapochill case live in 2002 or so, and the Pentium 4 CPU was running at about -10 degrees centigrade.
>>54878119
or OP could just NOT be a completely lazy piles of SHIT and actually put in the WORK required for water cooling and if not he can go kill himself
>condensation
>lime, causing clogging
>water bill
>if theres a shortage your entire sewage system becomes a danger zone
>>54878061
>uinderstand
OP may be a tard, but at least he isn't ESL.
>>54877734
Have you ever looked at the inside of the plumbing in a house? That stuff gets real disgusting, real quick.
>>54878200
no where in my post did i type the word "uinderstand" i typed "uinderage" as a result of a typo though
>>54877778 >>54877821 >>54878061
Hol' up, boyz. I've improved the OP's idea.
Is a good start anon, BUT you are wasting more energy and money that conventional expensive cooling solutions in the market.
>>54878551
This is what I first thought OP would propose. Never underestimate OP's stupidity I guess.
>>54878551
Would be worth trying just for fun. I can see plenty of issues, however maybe just for cooling the router?
why not just convert the heat from your PC into light and passively radiate it off into space?
>>54878179
>Dehumidifier
>Water softener
>Well water
>Rubber hosing from open part of system to computer raised on platform
>>54878551
>close faucet
>water no longer circulates
>water starts getting hot
>eventually it stops cooling
>>54879302
Man, I really hope you are joking right now.
plumber here. laughing my ass off.
>>54879449
please let us laugh too
>>54878998
It works for the space station.
>>54879460
that's not how heat conduction works. basically what >>54878998 said.
>>54879161
>buy a heat sink and case fan
ftfy
>>54879449
Is it true what they say about plumber's crack?
>>54878998
>convert heat to photons
>use photons to drive optical CPU
>infinite processing power that doesn't require any external energy
Scrap the idea of getting cold water from the tap, What about collect all the house sewage and put it in a big tank then use it.
Tip. Use transparent tubing
>>54877734
Great way to get buildup of minearals in your cooling loop
A better way would be to use a heat exchanger.

>being this fucking stupid
channel a fucking river through your house and then it's free
we did that in new york 30 years ago for the super computer towers. ran pipe lines gravitationally fed through the building and out the other side back into the river
my job was to scrape dead fish off the side of the pipes when they got fried onto it and stuck.. yes the pipeline was open
>>54879666
Well, it's definitely getting slightly more complicated if we are now talking about how to cool down a home computer with a custom water loop, which is going straight to the river.
>>54879683
every home should have a river imo
vote for me for president and I will make it happen
>>54879719
i would like a river. i vote for you.
Do that with a computer powerful enough and you can replace your home water boiler.
Free heating $$$

Yeah I overlooked quite a few things. It was just a random thought I had I thought I'd share for us to discuss.
