The problem is, you’re only directing the cold air at one little point of the radiator so the radiator has much less time to cool the hot liquids from the CPU. Think about putting one ice cube on your arm vs dunking your arm in a bucket of ice cubes. Sure, one ice cube is still very cold, but a lot of ice covering more area is much colder. In this situation, you may have gotten better results just situating the radiator directly in front of the AC unit in a way that the entire radiator was being cooled directly. Think about how 240mm radiators with two fans is more effective than 120mm radiators. Also, you even mentioned how cold the air was coming through the radiator, that just means it’s passing right through the one area it’s cooling and remaining cold, the rest of the radiator was probably quite warm by comparison. This also comes down to that particular AIOs ability to effectively transfer heat. If the liquid in the AIO loop is very cold from the AC unit but your CPU is 3-4 times hotter, that means the AIO is being quite restrictive to the thermal transfer.

A major restriction is the water pump block. It is only SO efficient and can move only SO much water, so there is a limit to how much thermal energy it can pass into the coolant. The coolant itself has a limit, as does the radiator, as well. You would very quickly reach a point where the AIO is transferring as much heat as it can.

I conducted a similar 'experiment' over the summer with my portable air conditioner. I placed it on a crate of beer and directed the adjustable vents toward my PC. I had only removed the side panel, and the graphics card is mounted vertically, so the cold air from the air conditioner flowed directly onto the 3 fans of my RTX 4080. The RAM (G-Skill 6000 @ 6800 MHz) normally ran at 55-60 degrees Celsius. This time, the memory was at 35-45 degrees max. Despite heavy overclocking, the graphics card didn’t even reach 65 degrees Celsius at the 'hotspot' (normally 90+ degrees)! The GPU temperature consistently stayed below 60 degrees at full load, usually around 55. Before, it was between 75 and 80 degrees Celsius. Since the radiator is mounted at the top of the case, the cold air could also be nicely drawn in through the open case and help cool the radiator. I couldn't achieve a higher delta on my CPU than in the video either. That also made a difference of a maximum of 10, sometimes 15 degrees. Still, that's not insignificant... ...but considering the additional power consumption of the air conditioner at 2500W, not very efficient I'd say ... 🤪

@@ronjatter No it wouldn't. It's already a cooler. We are not replacing it, we are supplementing even more cooling and from a distance with plastic water tubes in between. The cooler is not that hot. That processor or GPU is probably under 50c definitely under 60c so that's 120 to 140f and that is only directly on the die. The ice maker is full of ice and maintains that ice. There is no world where that heat overpowers a freezer full of neverending ice. Up what would be several feet of tubing made of plastic with no direct contact with anything but basically ice. If you stuck a bag of ice on top of that cooler it would get even cooler correct. Now pretend that ice never melts silly person. This was all purely hypothetical and purposely stupid but you may need to go back to school. Those little tiny compressors are quite powerful. They usually run through a defrust cycle at least once a day so you don't have to empty a bucket of water out of the drip tray every few hours. We are trying the have fun here. If you really want to discuss cooling systems I can do that. You want to make some dry ice at home, I can do that. It takes way less equipment than you would think.

Our AC went out recently- it's fixed now. In the mean-time though, I took an extra window unit I sometimes use for other things and rigged it up to work with a side opening window- it sits on the ground and pulls the air from outside then exhausts the cool air into the house. It works better the hotter it is outside due to how it's hooked up but it really saved me on those Days when it was in the 90s with no AC- at least I had one room that was cool. I've got a box around where the cool air comes out, then 2 4 inch tubs running into the House and I sealed up the window with even more cardboard/duck tape! It's very similar to this and it works surprisingly well. I'm actually keeping it in until it cools down outside here in a couple of Weeks just because I like it extra cold in my work area :D

Wow, reminds me of the Mainframe I ran back in the 70s. One summer, I had a great summer job, as a computer operator. I operated an IBM 360, and I would change out the hard disc packs and tapes, and change the paper on the 2200 line a minute line printers. What a cool job! Especially since a massive refrigeration unit ran cold air under the floor, and then the air would come up though the various components, which had no bottom. After flowing through the unit, the air flowed out into the room, which made the room about 50 degrees (10C). So.... blow the cold air into a frame, then find a way to mount the case so that the case intakes breath from the super-cold chamber, and mount the AIO into it as well, plus an AIO for the GPU. Next crank the AC up so much that, even after flowing through the case/CPU/GPU, the AC cools the overall room to 10 degrees C, and you can re-experience the 1970s!

The other thing to remember when doing this is that you will need to blow out the PC and clean the intake mesh more often as pretty much anything in the air in the house gets sucked into the PC. Having a better filter in the furnace blower will also help to reduce the dust build up. It can get dirty fast if you have pets.

The angle of the cardboard and the space between where the pipe goes are causing turbulent air. I think someone else said this already. However, the Radiator itself might be too small to get any cooler. I'd build the cooler around a two-pass or three-pass radiator. The thermal area of the fins has a relative heat output, and they get less efficient with thermal transfer load on more than just colder air going in. Super fun to watch you do hilarious cardboard coolers though, Can't wait to see V2.

Another choice would be to raise the PC directly in front of the AC and tape the AIO across the outlet of the AC unit flat, so that it would blow through all of it. Also, the temps you are seeing are measured at the CPU, which is a reflection of the heat they generate pretty much no matter what you do. It takes a whole lot of thermals to get past that magic number and get the temps to go down.

So you need to make rectangle to round coming off the ac and going to the radiator. Both should have the "hole" in the center, to help with air distribution. The faster you push the air across the coil the less heat the air picks up passing through the radiator. The key would to get the cfm the two original aio fans produce and try to match.

BTUs is British Thermal Units and a unit of measure to tell the volume (area) that a device is able to heat or cool, put generically, and so 14,000 BTU is quite large, as most standard single room air conditioners are around 5,000 to 6,000 BTUs. Kind of surprised you didn't think of making out the circle into the front cover piece in the first place.... as that's what I thought you were going to do. This actually reminds me that back in the day (so like 20+ years ago) you could buy a vapor change coolling system that would fit into a PC (basically, a small air conditioner for your PC). Of course back then they cost about $600 or more and were very specific, but they were meant for hardcore overclockers. Of course the main downside was that you had to ensure that the CPU and video card remained overclocked enough to generate enough heat to balance out the excessively cool air coming from the "air conditioning" unit otherwise you'd have condensation issues. And the trouble with that is that some systems would revert the BIOS settings back to default (ie. turning off overclocking) after so many failed boot attempts for whatever reason, so you had to keep an eye on it and for that, many people had digital temperature read-outs as well. These were people who tried to make systems that could run at room temperature even under load. Now I will note that if you perhaps put some pipe insulation around the tube and perhaps across the shroud you built for the AC unit, that might help keep some of the cold air from being lost during its trip from the AC unit vent to the AIO cooler, or used perhaps a more elaborate (but more expensive and time consuming) material like PVC pipe.

well, does make sense that the max load temp only went down about 15C, since effectively what you've done is reduce the ambient temperature by around 15 degrees, and coolers work by moving heat from one thing to another with a temperature delta, so since the cooler is the same, the delta between your heat generating component and the environment will stay roughly the same, ergo, drop the environment 15C, drop the cpu 15C

One of my portable Air conditioning units has 12,000 BTUs and can cool a large room. My other is just 9,000 BTUs, but my dad got one on offer that was claimed at 15,000 BTUs and was able to cool the entire kitchen and dining room area of their 6 Bedroom house. So that window unit power is good, not significantly more powerful than a portable unit but probably more economical

I run my iMac next to an open window and here in December I hardly see anything above 55c and it's great! I need to find a summer idea similar to this

I did that back in 1999 with my old Koolance PC case with an integrated top mounted radiator and -10°f pure winter air pushed through a window fan funneled down a cardboard vent directly into the top of my radiator. What usually ran at 100°f with my CPU and video card blocks was running at a chilly 50°f.

Can we get a version 2? I'd like to see the entire frontal area of the AC unit being taken advantage of (instead of most of the outlet throwing cold air into cardboard), and having 2 tubes, one for each fan on the AIO, to see what the effects of that is.

A/C outlet air temperature rarely goes below 16 Celsius so as long as humidity is controlled i think you can manage condensation in a PC case

lol at Be Quiet!, sponsoring a very loud wall air conditioner. The irony is not lost :D

lmfao Why did I do the bare minimal of this for the summer. Putting my PC right below my AC about a foot underneath, with cardboard on top of the AC directing the air flow downward into my AIO. I love the jank 😂😂

You could cut the handle down for the hand crank and use a cordless drill to raise or lower the ikea desk
