Water block for later peltier addition...?

Xylo · 07-02-2005, 03:13 PM

I'm putting together a water cooled system now (still in the ordering phase)...

One quetsion I have is that at a later point I might want to add a peltier/TEC solution to the mix... but not right off the start for a number of different reasons (including price).

Are there any waterblocks in particular I should be looking at or avoiding that will make it prohibitively difficult later to add a peltier? Ideally, for the CPU, I was looking at a DD TDX or a Swiftech MCW6002...but haven't settled on anything yet.

Thanks!

I know this thread is old, but maybe my response is appreciated.

If you're serious about eventually going TEC, try to find a swiftech mcs5000/5002. Its straight-up watercooling performance is not bad but not the best, and its TEC performance is pretty good too. Second only to the Wintsch block.
