Problems with Peltier

Galeno · 10-18-2003, 12:31 PM

Hi all:

I have in my sistem a peltier of 156 watts over a cold plate of copper 6mm thick connected to a Mean Well power supply S-320-12 and a waterblock over the peltier.
The thing is that I get only 3 celsius over the ambient temperature. Is it anything I can do to get lower temperatures?

My sistem is: NF7-S v 2.0, Athlon XP Barton 2500+ @2205MHZ

Many thanks in advance

It sounds right to me. I have a 226W peltier + Maze 4 over an AMD XP 2100, and with absolutely no overclocking temps stabilize at around -1 C.

As soon as I start tweaking things for maximum overclok, temps easily reach +- 18 C.

I couldn't think of a more ideal setup! Perfectly done! This way you don't have to worry about condensation what so ever! If the chip can't oc near ambient, don't bother.

Welcome to procooling Galeno!

Maybe your problem is more on the measurement side, you should post more details about that. It´s very easy that you're picking mobo temps more than cpu ones without the proper insulation.

Maybe you can have a guess of your tec performance by looking at your maximum overclock improvements. If it didn't change sure you have a problem somewhere.
