Finally have a peltier in my loop

[amdrules770]

I finally have my gaming machine back together, the GPU core is currently at 14*c. My loop is routed like this:

EHEIM 1250 -> MCW-5000 -> MCW-50T -> Heatercore -> EHEIM

I have a 350cfm 172mm NIDEC BETA V fan blowing through the heatercore, so doubt airflow is going to be a problem.

I know that mixing peltier blocks and non-peltier blocks is not good, but I am going to be purchasing a peltier block soon, not sure what yet. Also, I just fired up my new barton 2500+, going to have some fun with that.

The system I am cooling is this:

Baton 2500+
Epox 8-RDA
Corsair XMS3500 256mb
IBM 120gxp 40gb
ATI radeon 9800 pro
Antec TruePower 430w

Mmm....very nice:) Have you tried eeking out any more overclock on the vid card since you added the pelt? I found the pelt gave me another 15-20mhz stable core OC over straight water.

where did you find a 172mm fan

Try Comair (http://www.comairrotron.com/).

I haven't tried O/Cing the card just yet. I just did a clean install of Win2k, and getting it setup and all first. Plus I can't find the NB heatsink for my mobo, so I won't dare O/C my FSB until I get something else on there (darn epox nonstandard NB heatsink mounting). My fan is made by Nidec, I got it used for $2 at a computer show, I unfortunately haven't found any more.

comair might be nice, but nidec is better. lol, I am going to look for another fan like mine on ebay so I can get a double long heatercore.

well, ordered a Maze 4-1, 226w TEC, swiftech's UHT-462 gasket set. I also got a MCW-5000A -> MCW-5000PIX kit so I can make my MCW-5000 bolt on with the 4 holes in an amd mobo. Now I just need to figure out how I am going to power a 226w pelt as well.

You'll need a dedicated TEC PSU. The TEC is rated for 15v and runs at max at that voltage. I run a milder 13.2v with my Meanwell-S320 (the PSU that swiftech and dangerden sell for pelt power).

BTW, I have a used Meanwell S320 I'll be selling soon (i'm having another mini blowout sale soon). It only has about 40 hours of use on it. PM me if your interested.

Well hopefully I won't miss this one, if he doesn't want the Meanwell drop me a pm...

You're next in line:)

well, I have my R9800 at 450/375 right now. I just played UT at 1600x1200 for over an hour online, so it seems to be a stable O/C.

I'm also getting a big heatercore that I can put two 350cfm 172mm fans on :D
