Someone less lazy than I should write an article/sticky about pelt chillers. Anyone?

1) The pelt was to be run off the computers PS. What is the reason most people want extreamly cold temps in the first place for? What happens when you suck up to much of the PS's power? 2) What does a chiller (that doesn't add any cooling benifit to the loop) do to the flow rate? Has it not been proven that more flow rate is better? |

laying the smack down
hi guys i was thinking of doing the same idea as this guy but with way more power
i've got 2 120mm radiators 1/2 inc pipe @ 400 l/h with 100cfm of air blowing through them and i was going to run 2 80watt tec's inline with them, cooled by 100cfm of air with massive heat sinks on the back of each . i obviously know this is over kill, to cool the cpu and vga card . i guess at max it'd only need 80watt's output from the tec's so i'll have a switch to run them at that........... Anyway all this aside. I think were all happy with the fact that a tec inline with radiators, at best will only be able to keep the water temp at ambient. So is'nt the most obvious question whether or not the radiators can actually in practice keep the water temp at ambient temp ? i know theoretically radiators should be able to keep the water below ambient temp. but does it actually ? .......... my last setup which had about 1/4 the size radiators didn't keep the water temp at ambient.(which might be why) so my point is can't you stick a thermometer in the water and test the water temp at full load and however much over ambient the water is ( suggesting it is )that should be the maximum temp drop that could be expected from the tec's After reading this thread i think i'll stick a 172watt tec between the cpu and water block now. cause there seems little point in an inline system. However i'd still be willing to put money on the fact that that water won’t be running at ambient when i load it up with the vga card and 172watt tec. but i guess we'll just find out. So I might do both. Well only if there’s a point to it. But it’s simple to test who’s right or wrong. So in conclusion a 5 degree drop or more may be obtainable depending on how efficient your radiators are and how much wattage the tec’s are. ( I wouldn’t however put money on whether or not this guy who started this thread’s system will work or not, cause I don’t remember seeing much detail about his system and that valcan cooler isn’t very big). michael dixon |

The water will get warmer in your setup.
