How long do you hold the button down for and how long does it take to achieve a good temperature? Like if it was a 100C, how long would you hold it down for until it reached 80C?
For the temp to drop down 20* I can hold the button down for about 10 seconds with high speed fans on and the temp would be down 20* in about 30-45 seconds. Never really timed it, but it drops pretty quickly. I just added another legnth of tubing to it and now I have tubing running between the radiator and condenser in a sort of an "S".....going back and forth. In the picture the red and blue lines represent the hoses between the radiator and condenser. Water sprays out from the entire legnth of the hose through tiny holes that create the mist that brings the temp down. Very easy to do. Just use distilled water to avoid mineral build up.
