My buddy is using water cooling using the open bucket method and i was wondering if there would be any change if instead of H2O he used beer if there would be any major change in cooling?:chef:
From http://www.supercool.se/pages/calculate.html :
TO COOL DOWN
Cooling effect (Pc = W) required to cool down within a given time (t = s):
where
c = specific heat of object (Ws/g °C)
m = mass in grams (g)
DeltaT = temperature difference (°C)
Example: To calculate the effect required to cool 5 l of beer (m = 5,000 g) from 20°C (which is also ambient temperature) down to 5°C (Delta T = 15°) in 2 hrs (t = 7,200 s).
Beer is mostly water, thus c = 1 cal/g = 4.18 Ws/g °C.
Liquid Nitrogen would be excellent for cooling, problem is you have to keep it cool enough to be liquid or you have to have it under enough pressure to be liquid. If you wanted it for long term cooling .Originally posted by Vehementi
How about liquid nitrogen? I haven't heard alot about it, but also that it might be good for it. You can basically put any liquid into a water cooling block, as long as it's as viscous as water itself.
Would it be any good for cooling?
Also, what kind of cooling liquid do they use for nuclear reactors and such?
I think that basically any liquid that heats up and cools down fast and is a good conductor of heat would be excellent.

But if you're want max cooling pre-built, you should either try KryoTech or VapoChill... Those use nitrogen, which gives you much better temps than any watersetup ever will...
But you pay the premium for them too...

hmm.....what other meathods of cooling are there besides water? and well of coarse the basic fan and heat sync combo...
