MadMouse Glaciator Thermoelectric Chiller @ PureOverclock

I have to admit I never believed in the power of "chilled" water in a watercooling loop until I had to build a chiller for a recent overclocking escapade. The chiller was extremely simple and consisted of a regular watercooling loop with an old Danger Den Maze 4 placed inline before the CPU waterblock.  The waterblock was then attached directly to my phase cooler and within minutes the water was down to near freezing temperatures.

PureOverclock is looking at a TEC version of the same concept that uses a dual loop design.  One loop cools the hot side of the TEC while the other cools the processor.

the MadMouse Glaciator is a thermoelectric water chiller designed to effectively cool your processor and avoid some of the trappings we've seen in other manufacturer designs. As we'll see, the Glaciator is a compact and lightweight chiller that can be integrated into any water cooling systems to chill PC or server components, able to chill the coolant to sub-ambient temperatures. Is the Glaciator is a hit or miss? Let's find out.

It is really amazing how simple a chiller really is, just comes down to how much heat you can remove to obtain the coldest liquid possible.
