Swiftech MCW462-UT complete 226W TEC assembly
 

WOuld this be alittle to much for bix to handle?http://www.cooltechnica.com/Merchant.../MCW462-UT.gif

Hahaha, I would be more worried about your PSU. If you run a couple of high flow fans at 12v, then It would probably do the job noisily.:cool:

I would use this single output switching power supply for 226Whttp://www.cooltechnica.com/Merchant...01/s320-12.jpg

wow, where did you ever find something like that?

A cooltech sells them they everything black ice extremes dangerdan blocks swiftech blocks evertyhing you need to fry your cpu

226w baddd 220w goooood......i would hold off to get the 220w from danger den....the 226 i belive is like 72c delta but the 220w is i think 68c delta.....Heres a uk site that has them i belive that dd is gettin ones very similar to this.....

The real question is will my bix handle such load?

it better i just ordered the x ver2 =)

Thats the one i got rev2 its supposed to be 20% better then original bix

so i herd.....now all i need is a block, pump, my new case, tec, and power supply and im all set =)

i got eheim 1250 bix i dident get waterblock yet couse id ont know what can handle a 220/226 watts but am having a problem with condensation what stuff should i to make nothing happens i know silicone is good and neopron is good what else some peaple put stuff in the socket do you know what to you to stop it

http://www.octools.com/index.cgi?cal...ion/intro.html theres what cha need....ull also need to insulate the wb but i cant remeber off the top of my head where that arcticle is.....

intersting silicone he used i think am going to buy someone later

the octools guide is probably the best about condensation.

as for the bix handling the heatload, it will without a problem, just make sure you have a high airflow going through it

I have the fans going through my BIX in a push pull configuration. In addition they are on a maelstorm rheostat. I usually have the fans on the lowest setting possible and get temps between 34-38 degrees celsius. If I crank up the fans to full strenght 12volts I get temps of 33-37. I'm only seeing 1 degree celsius improvements when I increase my airflow (and noise) by a factor of 2-3. Just a thought.

That combination may not be as great as you think. The 226W pelt sold with the Swiftech is a 15W, 24A unit with a 55W deltaT. The Meanwell PSU that is sold for use with the Swifty is a 12V 25A unit. You won't get the full performance from the Swiftech with it, and so something like this:

may be more appropriate. I haven't actually used that PSU on allelectronics; I was just pointing out something to consider :)

If dangerden will have 220W tecs with a 72C deltaT then those are definitely the ones to wait for :)

well from what i know about tecs they have a sweet spot for proformence which is usualy 1 or 2v below specs......so like a 15v would run fine at 12v...and as the voltage goes down so does the amp requierment....so that ps u showed would be great cause its adjustible so he could find the perfect voltage for that tec
