Tec sizes

[Spazzonater]

I want to pelt my system, just the cpu, and was woundering if their are different sizes? something between 226w and 80w, and would my psu hold up to a pelt? I have a 600w psu. I want to run at 15-20c, i am upgrading to a bix rad, and haven't decided on the pup, their was one that i herd of, looked like the 600 but black and cheaper. Would my current system hold up a pelted system or do i need more upgrades?

There are lots of different sizes actually, but I wouldnt use anything less than the 226w module on the CPU.

how cool could a 226watt peltier cool my 2.6c?

Would my psu be able to power it? and how can i check it to tell?

look at the required power of the tec, and then check your powersupplies rating (normally written on the side)

for a 226watt tec you'll normally need 25amps+ on the 12v line

actually, the 226w at 12v only draws 18-19amps.

Im seriously considering going with a TEC system also.I bought my DangerDen waterblocks with the coldplates just in case.

But i know next to nothing about Peltiers.I guess its time to read up.

Anyone know some good detailed sites to get informed on this subject/project,please post the links.

Thanks :D

could i take the 80w peltier out from the Swiftech MCW50-T and replace it with a 172W DRIFT 0.8 Potted pelt?

mine says on it 12+ =24a, so would it work? It is a 600w powertec psu
