i know much about the theroretics of tec cooling, but i have yet to *actually* set one up. i have a "mini-nuclear power plant" as you would say (enermax 651, 550w) and i was wondering a few things.
1) do i need another power supply to run a TEC (i have quite a few fans and drives), if not, what is the highest TEC you think i could run?
2) if i were to mount this with a cather's WW, how would i set everything up? Please give in detail, how i condensate proof the back of my mobo, and the socket, along with what i need to do to have perfect seal around TEC and WB, along with a list of supplies i will need
thanks a ton, i have been deeply debating what i need to do for my extreme cooling, and i have finally decided that TEC is the way to go. i cant afford phase change or water chilling (commercial, anyways) and even the best water cooling setup isnt quite enough for me.
with this WC system:
dtek WW'
Eheim 1060/1260 (~600gph)
black ice extreme 2 dual rad w/ 2x120mm delta 190cfm each
bay res
1/2" connections on everything
what kind of tec will this be able to cool, and what would you guess would be me idle/load temps? im hoping to get in the negatives if possible
