NB Pelt

RedPhoenix · 09-04-2003, 09:19 PM

Do they sell NB coolers with pelts? Or how hard would it be to take a zchip and make it so it works with a pelt?

nub question, sorry lol

Well for pelts to work right, you need a great deal of pressure. To this end usually a cold plate is used to sandwich the pelts between the water block and the cold plate. It usually screws into the base of the waterblock. So if you can tap some small screw threads into the four corners of the Zchip, then you could get a 40mm pelt, and make a cold plate with holes for bolts, that would screw into the tapped holes.

I heard from a bird that swiftech may come out with a NB pelt combo.

so if the cold plate is sandwhiched between the block and a cold plate with a great deal of pressure it should work fine?

Peltier sandwiched between the cold plate and block is what you need.....I think that's what you were trying to say.
Not to hijack the thread, but how do you tap a thread into a piece of copper?

You need a tap from a tap and die set. A tap is basically a hard ass carbide that cuts the female threads for you. A dye is the same material used to turn rods into bolts, or to rethread bolts.

Any sets you recommend?

BrianW · 09-07-2003, 01:54 AM

Not really. Generally the higher the price the better the quality. Just google it, and post what you find.

Ok.....searched.

Found a lot for this set: http://www.overstock.com/se/40piece_...e_Set_SAE.html

And then this: http://doityourself.com/store/tapanddiesets.htm
which has more expensive and professional sets.

I would suggest figuring out what size bolt you are going to use, then just boy the tap that you need. You will not use most of the set, and you can spend more coin on a better piece. You just need the tap, and a drill press, drill, or hand tool to make the threads.
