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

i dont see why not but its very overpriced.

just FYI i mis-spelled that and actually was inquiring about the MTEC control module and not the tecs per say. what ive found out is that the pump on the pump/rez combo actually just plugs into the rez so that the MTEC has no pump connecting to it. it will report pump failure supposedly but i can ignore this. so just waiting on visa confirmation and will be ordering soon!! yeah it is a little more expensive but not that much considering that its an adjustable pump which is what i want to play with the speeds. (10 of them btw).

actually there is one more thing though. i cant seem to find in my research about those sensor cable that are included. there are 3 plugs on the back of the pump/rez however how would i get one of them into the rez? i guess i could have an ambient case temp too but the rez temp is all im really after. any ideas guys how i would set up that rez temp sensor?
thanks so much for all your input!
cheers

just something else here that i need some advice on.
its about where to put that rez either before or after the boreas tecs.
heres how i look at it but i may be wrong
scerio#1
cool coolant from tecs goes to rez turns warmer then tries to cool hot cpu with warmish coolant. now you have the tecs trying to cool hot coolant. harder on tecs

scenerio #2
cool coolant from tecs cooling hot cpu. sounds good. now warm coolant goes to warm rez equals warm coolant now tecs now only have to cool warm coolant. easier on tecs... makes sense.
any input here would be grrrreat!!
thanks guys

I would definitely put the res before the tecs and from the tecs directly to the CPU. My tec chillers seem to like the set up. So do my temps.

thanks bud.... yeah thats what i though..
i was wondering though your 4.4 is that with the hyperthreading?
well if it is well congradulations on an awesome overclock!!
cheers

mahtareika

That is with hyperthreading and folding at 100% 24/7. I plan on bring this 920 to it's knees by the time the new chips come out.
