Heatcore for TECs
im building a new rig, that for the moment has 2 TECs.
one 320w for CPU and one 226w for GPU. im using a 2000lts/h and 3.5m water column pump. the thing is, i would like to know how hot would water get, and how big the heatcore should be to handle such a heat load. the heatcore will probably be custom made, so any suggestion for the design is welcomed. |

The heatercore should have as much surface area as possible, and be several inches thick, and made from copper. Make it as big as your area can allow, with the highest fin density possible.

How are you getting this custom built? Are you going to put it together yourself?

Those fans are extremely impressive. And at 51mm thick, performance should be extremely high against even a thick radiator.

Yes, I used a 226W on my gpu, Ice formed on the back of it. I was testing an MCW462-UHT on my r9800, hit 550 core stable.

An easier idea, replace the MCW50-T pelt with one 172w 24v and use massive dielectric grease and thick neoprene, also press the neoprene against the card with a back plate.
Apocalipsis. PD: Dow Corning 1-2577 Conformal coating is one of the best compounds available for insulation.

i was planning on using the following insulation:
first a layer of acrilic insulator (more info here) then a thick layer of RTV silicone finally all this covered with neoprene. over all this, would be the backplate that holds the block. |
