What kind of cooler

TheNark · 05-02-2004, 12:44 AM

What kind of air-cooler would i need for a 172W TEC? I was hoping something like this http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...106-017&depa=1 would do

What are you putting your TEC on? Anyway, air cooling a TEC isn't very effective - the hot side temperature will be too hot for the cold side temperature to be terribly useful.

i was planning on using it as a drunk cooler of sorts after i got the idea from this website: http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~arnesen/peltierbeer/index.html

Try to find a large swiftech cooler or a alpha 8045 or something of that sort. Anything large and copper should work.
