Very cool !

This has been a very cool decision:

Since my main P3D sim computer is overclocked to 4.7 ghz and the housing contains also 2 Geforce GTX TitanX grafic cards, low and stable temperatures of CPU and grafic cards were impossible to achieve. Therefore the system was not always running as stable and smooth as it should.
Although the CPU was already cooled with a Corsair H110i GT watercooling.

So, when talking with my computerspecialist Michael Rosenboom (http://achimer-computershop.de), Michael suggested an external watercooling system. First I was  skeptical about this, it seemed to me a bit of an overkill and it is not cheap. But finally Michael convinced me to go for that. Now I must say, that this was the best investment I have made into my computersystems since long. The CPU temperatures are as low  as max. 55 degr. with full overclock and load and the grafic cards  stay cool at around 30 degr., although I have overclocked them a bit also now. Before, sometimes the CPU was going up to 80 degr.
The system runs smoother, stable and also the sim seems to be smoother, with less microstutters.

The cooling system is quite simple: There is an external cooling machine, 2 hoses go to the computer, one for inlet, one for outlet. CPU and grafic adapters are then cooled with a water heat exchanger. With this machine, also more then one computer can be cooled. It is made by Aquatuning, Germany.
The cooling machine is not quiet (60db at 1 mtr. distance). This is not a problem here in my sim, as there is already a noise level when it is running. If you use the machine for cooling a desktop workstation, you don´t want to have it close to your destop. The machine can be placed up to 10 mtr. away from the computer, even in a different room.

The computer runs 3 HD beamers, grafic adapters in sli configuration and one extra HD monitor for system maintenance. P3D3.4 and Immersive Display Pro.
