Best Waterblock for Peltier Cooling

MadHacker · 06-04-2003, 05:08 PM

I plan to build my first watercooled system and want to find a waterblock that would be best with a peltier.
Swifteck has a nice one MCW5000-PT
then there is the Maze series...
whis is better?

then there is chipset cooling and videocard cooling as well.

I curently have P4 2.53 Ghz in a Abit IT7MAX board with a MSI Gforce2TI
plan to change the board to a Albatron PX865PE PRO II and Chainteck G4 Ti4200 Special edition.

and for case i figure a YY-Cube should hold everyting i need.
plan to put a watter chiller in it eventualy.

what would be the better waterblock combo.
stock off teh shelf or does someone have a custom block that would be better.

Well since 77 people have looked at this thread and not one has replied I guess I will throw my 2 cents in. In my opinion the two SwiftTech blocks, the MCW5000-PT and the MCW478 would probably be better than the Maze series since they cover the entire area of the TEC module where as the Maze series only covers primarily the middle of the block. As for which one is better, that Im not too sure on but hopefully people that have experiance with these two blocks will chime in with thier results.

As for video card blocks, if you plan on putting a tec module on it like the SwiftTech MCW50-T then definately make sure your radiator can dissapate the heat of both tec blocks. Id also probably run them in parallel rather than in series if youre runing 2 tecs. Hope some of this helps.
