Pelts on a WhiteWater

Jewfro · 09-03-2003, 02:45 PM

I know that the WW is optimised to give great cooling to the core of a cpu(and that it's documentation says it's not to be used with pelts bigger than 30mm

), but now that I'm getting into TEC's it seems silly to put one on the gpu and nb instead of the CPU. Therefore I'm simply wondering if I can successfully use a 40mm pelt on a WW.

Not effectively. The whitewater's strength comes from the jet impingement over the die. The peltier on the other hand spreads the heat across its entire surface; making the whitewater very poor at cooling the edges. For a pelt your better off with something like a maze that will cool the entire area of the pelt.

as mentioned not very well, and I think a rotor would be best suited for this purpose.

oi

Well maybe I'll just get a maze4-1 and add in a tec......that should work well yes? Also I don't have a drill press so making a #rotor is something of a non-option.
