So two of them with peltiers in the middle. Image: http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7523/wbcomplete.jpg Image: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/9817/wbfront.jpg Hi guys,

This is my idea of waterblock for use with 10 tec elements in waterchiller loop.

So two of them with peltiers in the middle.

What do you think guys? is this ambitious but rubbish? ]]> Peltiers / TEC andrejse http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/612245-water-block-10-tec-waterchiller.html http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/611604-idea-tec-stacking-air-water-cooling.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:51:40 GMT Disclaimer: I've never used a TEC before, nor do I water cool...

From what I've read, perhaps this could work... The concept is this, you have your CPU with TEC on it (with cold block) and then for the hot block you use an air cooler, then on the air cooler you use another TEC that is water cooled with a TEC plate/block.

Of course it'd have to be the right air cooler... I found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835200015

Make sure to open that link and check it out. The 2nd TEC would go on the bottom part where the heatpipes come out of. Here's a rough sketchup of what'd it look like:



I think the biggest challenge would be getting the mount and pressure right... what do you guys think? ]]> Peltiers / TEC LarsMarkelson http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/611604-idea-tec-stacking-air-water-cooling.html http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/610487-tec-chiller-block-attempt-1-a.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:43:16 GMT So I'm sorta attempting to create a chiller block that can fit 8 62mm TECs. So far it's probably pretty crappy but I'm still learning the whole CAD process so I hope it gets better. This is what it looks like now:

this is 300mm by 150mm and it's got 10mm wide channels that are 8mm deep. I'm wondering if 5mm channels would be better. Oh and forget the little circle things, that was an attempt at something from muffy :). Oh and it's 15mm thick in total.
Edit: After a bit of work it looks like this:

I really don't think the indents are going to help much but whatever. If I ever test this I'll see. ]]> Peltiers / TEC flak-spammer http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/610487-tec-chiller-block-attempt-1-a.html http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/609889-will-rez-pump-work-my-boreas.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:53:03 GMT http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=25341

hey guys...
i want to replace my rattling boreas pump with this one.
i need to know if the TEC will either handle it or fry it.

it says that it is 8.6W max and says 6-12VDC
i will also need to know if the wires are compatible or maybe i need an adapter its a 3-pin fan header with tachometer speed signal so i think itll work but im not too sure. i cant find specs on the tec but hopefully Coolit will help.
sure would appreciate any input from you all
thanks so much in advance

Story:
So I stumble on this small clip on metacafe - of a guy making a chiller for his beer, and powering it from 5volts (USB)
He used something called a TEC.

"what awesome technology is this!!" I thought.
I read up more on TECs - and saw some on ebay.

Being the PC hardware junkie I am, I started thinking.. "hmmm! what if I could incorporate this technology into CPU cooling..."
How awsome could this be!

Only to talk to my father - who tells me they've been using this with WC for some time.

Then to google it - and see it everywhere!

What more?
To come on to OCN - which i've browsed for so long now, and find discussions on the said in FULL SWING.

:doh:
I'm SOOOO late.

:o :o
And I here I thought I had caught unto to something
:rolleyes:

*Sigh.*


I looked at Ira-k's Sig - after discovering he was the TEC ninja around here.
Nice OC.

- I've got a question for you guys

With A 136w TEC. - like the cheap ones found on ebay.
Does 136w reflect the maximum amount of heat the Device can Pull away? (doubtfull of that).
OR

Does it reflect the max power draw of the device? ]]> Peltiers / TEC Grim http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/607897-peltier-world.html http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/599711-how-cool-peltier-cheap.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:30:56 GMT so i got a 177watt Qmax peltier, 15.5volts max, i am putting 13.4 volts at 25 amps into it. i was trying to cool it with a 145watt rated heatsink, with higher rpm fan on it, and it worked for 10 seconds then the cold side started to get warm, i don't have any money to buy watercooling or get a monster sized heatsink, plus i plan on using it to cool drinks anyway's so i would like to know how i am suppose to cool the hot side well enough to make it work effectivley? i have blower fans and i have power supplies to overvolt fans and everything i dont mind if its a ghetto setup or not, but i would like it to not take up any more room than a cubic foot. so any ideas?? ]]> Peltiers / TEC gadgeteer123 http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/599711-how-cool-peltier-cheap.html http://www.overclock.net/peltiers-tec/598717-my-tec-experiance-phenom-ii-920-a.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:51:05 GMT A few weeks ago I got some of Ultrasonic2 fancy hot and cold plates.

It took me a bit to put it all together and get my setup running, but today I finished it up and boot up to coretemp displaying a big fat 0c :wheee:. This was vary exciting. It was much improved over my 30c from the pre-tec days. Then I ran prime and it maxed out at 25c.

Temps where read at 3.64 Ghz (280x13). I will be shotting for much higher in the coming days.

I would like to thank all of you veteran members for all the knowledge I have been able to suck out of your informative posts/guides.

My loop:

Swiftech MCP655
XSPC 5.25" Bay
Stinger V8
Black Ice GTX360
6 x Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000

I have noticed that as the day has progressed my rad has gotten warmer, but coretemp is not reading any higher temps. Do you guys think my rad will be able to keep it running at these temps, or will it continue to get hotter?

I being a big forum noob forgot to take picture of the whole process but these are what I have of the after math.

To put a Waterblock with the Cold side of a TEC cooling the liquid. On the Hot side, something like a Megalahalem or something along the lines to cool the hot side. Would this work? something like this? Image: http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/61/computercaseidea.jpg ... Okay this is my idea. To put a Waterblock with the Cold side of a TEC cooling the liquid.
