do any cpu temp monitoring programs measure negative temps

Muzwa Kai · 10th April 2009, 12:27 AM

just wondering if programs like coretemp, speedfan etc can read negative cpu temperatures?

also the same question for the bios monitor

hey muz

afaik the bios temp can, but your much better off with a proper temp probe, just to be sure

you getting into sub-zero cooling?

Muzwa Kai · 10th April 2009, 2:10 AM

hey man....just figuring out new cooling.
instead of trying ln2 or dice, im gonna try chilled vodka through my water system and freezer. i would prefer 24/7 cooling. 100 proof freezes at -40c. 80 proof at about -25c. just gonna add large radiator in the loop in the freezer. maybe a 2l to 4l reservior for pre-freezing. hopefully the freezer will be powerful enough. it has a temp control dial in the freezer.
still just planning though

Wouldn't you have to watch out on condensation that forms on the tubing and water (vodka) blocks?

Such a waste of vodka!

Muzwa Kai · 10th April 2009, 2:40 AM

im gonna insulate and seal the mobo, aswell as the tubing
not sure how good the vodka i get will be

phil_is_mrx · 10th April 2009, 2:49 AM

How about distilled water with coolant? Someone else has had your crazy idea to waste vodka too: http://www.overclock.net/cooling-exp...tercooler.html

sympozium · 10th April 2009, 9:29 AM

haha your crazy man, waste of vodak

what about some anti-freeze?

but please post up any results i'd love to see that setup

Web temp will and there is a graphing function over time. Used it here in the water chiller project.

lol....everyone is saying waste of vodka. not if i buy the cheap and nasty

i can put a tap in line so i can have -15c shots of vodka

mojododo · 10th April 2009, 2:09 PM

hmmm.... id be wary of using (EDIT: CHEAP) vodka.... ive got a couple of bottles sitting in my freezer, and at around -10 they start getting thick and gluggy....

wouldnt be very good for the pump.

on the other hand, you could just use watercooling and have a tap delivery system out of the freezer for vodka shots and "forget" that its not under 0

progs just read from a sensor anyway, be it mobo or on-die, if the sensor can output a negative value im sure most programs will show it

+1 for in-line tap

Muzwa Kai · 10th April 2009, 2:44 PM

might need a good thermocouple thingy for one of the mobo sensor inputs.
interesting about the vodka going gluggy. im thinking maybe some cheap 100 proof. ill do some more research on what liquid i can use.
im just hoping the freezer is powerful enough to overcome the heat of the cpu. if its not, the temps will just keep going up

Muzwa Kai · 10th April 2009, 3:00 PM

btw i was thinking of a motorbike radiator i can get from the wreckers. i need to circulate the vodka through the freezer for as long as possible.
