if you already have the stuff, go for it. make sure you often check for condensation, especially in the beginning.

triple? at 12v pelts are more efficient than at 15v. id say 2.5x.
in any case, i would recommend getting some aftermarket coolers for the chipsets, and adding the single 120 rad to the loop, before or after the dual one. it'll really help with temps.

A 245w TEC running at 12v consumes 200-225w which means it produces around that much in heat. Plus the original heat of the overclocked processor (around 90w).... I say the triple the original load is pretty accurate.

You will get better temps if you can build a mounting for the cold block. TEC require MUCH more pressure than CPUs. Check Ira-K's FuZion cold plate.

Its 150-300psi CL...Here is my build log where I made an over-sized cold-plate and used the extra mounting holes in my Stinger CPU block to mount it and really crush the Pelt good....I used a big C-Clamp to crush mine or you can use a vise.If you have a plastic topped block don't do it like I did you would push the barbs out the bottom of the block, the Stinger is built like a tank that is the only way I got by doing it like this...fstfrddy is making Pelt blocks now and Burn is pretty close to making his own also....

realistically wat kind of temps can i expect w this set up

Aerosol -50x50mm Copper Cold Plate -Swiftech H20-APEX "ULTRA" Series Liquid Cooling Kit, but with a Black Ice XtremeII Radiator instead of the swiftech made one. 1/2" ID tubbing. I have another loop in the system colling the gpu and northbridge with a 120mm swiftech radiator. Both loops are using the same pump MCP655 but they dont cross each other in terms of heat. Most things are swiftech and from newegg or frozencpu.com CPU=e6600. MOBO=intel 975XBX memory=PNY 6400 2 gb PSU=XION 700 watt Is this going to work on the e6600 cpu? Is it worth it concidering performance over electricity consumption or heat increase in the room? |
