Water Temps with Pelt Setup Problem

[nkarnold]

Water Temps causing a problem with my Pelt W/C Setup.

My Setup is.

- Thermochill 120.2
- Eheim 1250 Pump
- Swiftech 5000 Waterblock/Pelt
- Baymods Resovoir
- Dangerden GPU block (on different water loop)
- Tygon 3603 tubing
- Meanwell 320 TEC PSU

My average CPU temp is about 6c when starting up..

After about 30 mins.. the CPU temp goes to about 11c-13c and the water is noticably hotter.

I have a seperate loop for my GPU waterblock (non tec), this is however causing a problem,
as the water coming out of the rad is still warmish, fans are non-modded 120mm running at approx
7000rpm. Eventually the Graphics card, starts doing nice blocky patterns on the screen, cause
the water passing over it is too warm.

Question:
1.Any ideas on how to get over this.
2. If I get a Pelt for the GPU, Can I drive this off my normal PSU or can I attach it to the
meanwell 320 driving my CPU pelt?

how many volts is the pelt your using and how many amps?
Also a bigger rad will help.

Gpu is your best bet. You always want to cool in pairs with single looped systems.

Also how is your "other loop" set up?

I have to disagree that a bigger radiator will help. A 120.2 is very large, and larger than most people have on similar systems.

I also dont understand what you mean by 'other loop'.

Can you measure your water temperatures?

You can put another 5-6a of load on the meanwell. So a small peltier might work. I would look to your main PSU to power the GPU peltier. Yes, I highly recommend having a tec on your GPU if you have one on your CPU. I doubt you have an actual 'second' cooling loop. sounds like you are trying to run parallel or something.

How is your radiator mounted, what are your ambient temps, what is your PSU? You need to provide much more information (and pics would be nice) here.

I'm also of the school...If you pelt your cpu then you need to pelt the gpu if its sharing the same liquid.

Ditto. It would be much more efficient to run a single loop with both blocks pelted. A good 400w ATX PSU can handle the standard 80w GPU TEC.

Having increased water temp is normal for TEC cooling. You arent cooling your cpu with the heated water anyway. I got good results by reversing the Rad fans to exhaust out of my case instead of blowing hot air in the case. The concepts of TEC cooling are not the same as normal watercooling so don't fret on hot water. That just means your TEC is working correctly.

opps didn't notice the Thermochill 120.2.
