Under load, your temps with the regular watercooling should be somewhere in the mid 40's to the mid 50's. Nothing to worry about. I am not particularly qualified to speak on the TEC issue, but I do know that it will depend on things like the dew point in your area.

Well now i HAVE to post here now dont i
![]()
i have a Q6600 which is running at 3600 and it's TEC cooled .. i have no problem running it stable at 3800 under the TEC @ at 4200 i blew up my motherboard
![]()
I made this TEC block to take a 62mm TEC which is bigger and more powerful than the 6500 could EVER fit. my block is also compatible with 1366 socket CPUS
HERE are my temps running at 3600 after 45 minutes of running prime ( i know the pic says @ 2400 but it's running at 3600)
Also keep in mind 11,4c is as low as my core temps will read

And here are some pic of my block

You've convinced me to stick with watercooling.
Do you guys have any recomendations, additions, changes you would make to that list I compiled? Like a better fan controller that I can set the points of fan speed. This one starts at 35C at 10% fan power and moves up to slowly.

How did you blow it up?

The motherboard couldn't handle the current at 1.7v @ 4200mhz
If your thinking about going TEC then you'd need another psu .. a would recommend a 15 volt 600watt ish meanwell .. and you'd need more radiator . ie two of them more or A better ONE like a monsta or GTX 480

It's actually cheaper than Petra's coolkit extreme after shipping and tax.
I'm paying $379 including tax and shipping and will be able to overclock my q6600 to 5ghz hopefully. I have an old kolance original exos that I can slap on my OC'ed ati 4870 if I want to push my system further. With no hot air from the cpu blowing over my p45 platinum's northbridge heatsink, and having a fan right on top of it, it should also keep my northbridge much cooler for even better overclocks.
The best thing of all is that this kit doesn't require thermal grease, only insulation because it comes with a resistive heater device that sticks to the back of the motherboard to keep things warm and water free.

They tested on an i7 920 which pushes more than 250W of heat!
With 100% BOINC load on 8 threads running 4.2GHz with 1.2875V.
The temperature on the cpu dies are inacurate close to 0C but they were hovering between -9C and 15C. So it was probably lower than that with the copper head being at -53C.
Originally Posted by flak-spammer I don't think that is going to work. It says max stable load is 120w, a Q6600 at 3.2 or 3.4GHz is probably about 120w. |

you know this and other similar projects do make me wounder if the cpu calculators are right when i comes to i7's

I may have been wrong about this unit. I was just told by OCZ that there's no warranty whatsoever on this product.
Here's the dialog...just in case they decided to delete it. I will keep everyone up to date on this. If there's a correction, I will also correct it here. If they confirm the lack of warranty, I will be a post whore on every board that mentions the ocz cryo unit spreading the correct information.

Wait a minute...I thought this was for the refurbished units no warranty and that the regular units came with a one year warranty. Many manufacturers will sell refurbished items with no warranty but no one in their right mind would purchase an item from a retailer with non warranty. This is why I bought it from a retailer, instead of purchasign a refurbished item from you for $200 less.
I think you should speak to a supervisor and clarify the lack of warranty.
One of your own people even said there's a warranty. A certain [email protected] stated on 04-09-2008 at 07:12 PM http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=183901 that there's a one year warranty on the product. I don't want to have to correct about 17 boards with the updated information that the warranty stated by [email protected] was blatantly false and was lied to by OCZ.
Here's an example of a board spreading the info that there's a one year warranty just 2 days after [email protected] stated it on xtremesystems.com
http://www.overclock.net/hardware-ne...se-change.html
Your manual even mentions a warranty.
"In no event shall OCZ Technology be liable for any damage arising, directly or
indirectly, from the use of the information contained in this manual including
damages arising from inaccuracies, omissions or errors, nor shall OCZ
Technology be liable for any damage arising directly or indirectly from the use
of the Cryo-Z unit beyond the warranty of the Cryo-Z unit proper."
What does "beyond the warranty of the cryo-z unit proper" mean then?
