Hi Krow! Great build, man! So, if I'm understanding this correctly, you were seeing max temps of around 50c on an H70 and 48c on a dual-TEC direct die setup? Thats a mighty expensive 2c, Haha. It seems like you were able to get much...

I'd be happy with 70's to low/mid 80's, myself. My chip is pretty power hungry, unfortunately. Not to get too off topic, but I've found that I can actually significantly lower my voltage and still maintain system stability save for...

I have a P8Z77-V PRO, and I used Asus's Auto-Tuning program to find a baseline overclock for my new 3770K chip. To my surprise, the software set the OC right at 4.7ghz, which is basically where I wanted to be anyway. I was hoping for...

The original point I was making in this thread is that it seems like a lot of overclockers could benefit from using a single TEC to augment their rigs without adding enormously its daily power usage. I find that a lot of overclockers are...

Guys, I'm so sorry I haven't responded in a while! I must have missed the forum update email. That's a shame, because the last two posts were very helpful! Thanks! Special thanks to Krow for doing the math for me. That was extremely...

So what do you think about my proposed water chiller setup? Does that sound like something that would work?

Quote:Originally Posted by Puck The issue you are encountering is that without a decent amount of radiator surface area to dissipate the added heat of the TEC, you are completely negating the benefit of running one. You are already...
