@benjojo Tbh not enough heat output qwq, altho we at work get the water from the chillers and feed it to a water/water heatpump to boost it to radiator sutable water

@benjojo

@nick_ @benjojo very much my style. I once remove the front piece of a tower, stood it face down, mover front USB port somewhere else, and ducted the only exhaust fan (the PSU's) towards the back of the desk with eva foam. It was the summer. I have pics, but I'm kinda ashamed :)

@nick_ @benjojo reminds me of the computer built by IBM and ETH Zurich that ran so hot its cooling system was plumbed into the building’s hot water system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquasar

@benjojo yeah that and the amount of horrible shite in the water in a typical heating loop!

@benjojo The total max TDP is your theoretical maximum heat output. Even an EPYC is going to draw a fraction of a small space heater from that perspective.

@benjojo
So. There's no reason you actually couldn't. I don't recall seeing any lately, but I havent been looking for it; but 'bout a decade ago pretty much every mid to high end PC case had grommets or at least punchouts at the back of the case for running tubing to an external rad. Probably pump too since you're definitely gonna want a much heavier duty one than the normal pumps. Anyway, the fittings for pc watercooling are general standards you'll find for everything else like automotive.

@benjojo
Assuming you've got a few hundred watts there, it wont heat a room well, but should your feet.

@benjojo why would you need the radiator ? Any heat the workstation generates will end up in the room, radiator or not.

@benjojo Could get a small section of the mesh with built in piping you get for underfloor heating installations, then put a carpet or something over it.

Run the loop trough that first and then into the original radiators for any excess it couldn’t transfer… free feet warming! 😋
