  | Really wouldnt do much. You would just be feeding room temp air, and with a res the temp of the fluid would stay the same with fans or with out.

| You could run it outside your case in a mini fridge but it would be better to put the radi there. It sounds like a good idea but i'm not sure yet.

| I know this is beating a dead cow but still it would be an interesting thing to see.

| No not really But you may want to wrap your fan wires, mini fridges have a bit of moisture but its not extreme or anything.

 | Nope, remember the very best that you can possibly get your coolant temp to is ambient. That's going to happen with an extreme radiator and muti-fan set-up, very rarely if at all. Even with close to ambient temperature coolant, you're still looking at 6-12degC higher CPU temps, with the rest of the system being excellent. I'd follow the basics untill you have a better understanding of the properties of ambient grade cooling. |

 | wasting time....the reason a rad cools is because the metal absorbs heat.....the plastic on a res does not therefore doesnot need cooling
