CheeseBall · 07-14-2003, 09:02 PM

I have been WCing for about 6 month. I'm thinking of adding a TEC for my hot tbird. Questions:

Where's all the frozen Phase Change threads for us newbs?
I have an Antec True 550W PS. How big of a tec should I get?
Who do you buy YOUR tecs from?

What else do I need to know? I have read an articles on condensation but that's it.

Here is my block:

Thanks for anyone will to educate me in this area.

Go to Dangerden.com
They have tecs and specs. Make sure your power supply can supply the voltage and has the spare amps.
The entire TEC needs to be cooled not just a core sized area.
Get a block that you can place a pressure plate on, and has larger area cooling.

These tecs are expensive, but they are good businessmen.

a WW block is excellent for those 15 x 15mm TECs that are like 12 watters. Otherwise a rotor is preferable

with those 12 watters on the cpu, you would be overloaded immediately. My 85w cant handle the heat from my 1700 amd. The temp just climbs up .7-1 degree a second.
