Okay, I found a bed-partner in the cpu overclocker department. .... figuratively speaking, of course ....

It seems that I am the only taker on repairing "Don's" cpu chiller...

A Danfoss NF9FX, R-134a, advertised evaporating temperature.... -45 (no load). D*mn... the thing runs in a vacuum!! (suction)


WE may be experiencing a refrigerant leak, it's only gotten on the bench. But the compressor will run a 13" vacuum. I've preliminarily eliminated compressor failure, but the system appeared to be "flat" at 2psig, idle.


As usual, Mr. overclocker is a refrigeration hacker....

"Don", said that his friends recharge with R-404a. Of course, I told him the implications of changing the application in regard to cap tube size, etc. I haven't checked the spec's on the compressor.

I'm just giving everyone a heads up! Because the "Fish" is going into the overclocker business !!!
