peltier :D

[ACE 256]

Yeah my spelling sucks. Are peltiers expinsive?

[Kodo]

expensive.. dunno.. but you can get a speak-n-spell for cheap :)

Here's a site with a lot of info on Peltiers. There is a link for manufacturers sites, with prices and products.

You will find that the cooling benefits are not enough to offset the power consumption. There are configurations that will cool a CPU, but you would need a separate 12V power supply, as most power supplies don't have enough reserve capacity to run it.

And, as Mudshot said, if it does fail, your chip fries.

Go for water its "cool"

Serious at least if it fails you get some time for the chip to heat up slowly by the time its critical you can set you mb to turn off at a given temp.

May or may not save it but the theory is there.

Price is comparable and power not an issue, sound level less than a heatsink fan - - - - what can go wrong :cool:

It's vary humid whare i live so gess a pilter isent a good idea.
I got a thermalright SLK-900 about a month ago it seems ok for now.
Water cooling sounds "fun" but at what price ?

£200 for the kit, very very very easy to fit, you just need good strong nerves.

And a largish case

Whats that in US dollers ? For water cooling right ?

367.55 $ = 200 UK pounds. Seems very high

[ACE 256]

$367.55 for a water cooler? :eek:

[mudshot]

$367.55 for a water cooler? :eek:

But its protecting

$500 video card
$400 CPU
$400 Chipset

Anyway A peltier is around the same money and only does the CPU

You do the math, water wins

I dont have the cinda $ :( . Whats the cheepist watercooler ??

[mecroneo]

If you want to go with liquid cooling, and you want it cheap, it's not gonna happen but, you can get a nice water cooled case with temp lcd's on the top for a pretty decent price at: http://xoxide.com/koolpc.html also if you want to keep your case you can get a liquid kit of your choice here: http://xoxide.com/watcoolkit.html browse the site, I'm sure you can find all the stuff you will need for liquid cooling they even have some nice modding stuff here, I'm a little what you could call broke, otherwise I myself would have some of these nice toys :D
Well, good luck mEcroneo

Then how where going to fund a peltier?

[ACE 256]

its to humid whare i live for a pilter.

just build your own.
buy one of these
http://dangerden.com/mall/Blocks/rbx.asp $52

now find an inline pump with 1/2 inch fittings, similar to these
http://www.discountpumps.biz/inline_pumps.htm $39

Now, goto your local autoparts store and buy a heater core, with the same 1/2 inch fittings, should cost you around $30.

Now get some 1/2 inch hose and some hose clamps, about $15.

Now, you don't need a big resovoir, because this is going to be an inline system, not a submersible one. You can make you own resovoir out of plexiglass (I've done it, pain in the ***) Or, you could simply modify an existing container, much easier, but doesn't look as cool. Basicaly you simply need a cylinder that has two 1/2" fittings, spaced about a 1/2 an inch apart. This needs to go above your radiator and pump, this way all the air bubbles in the system will go to it, and it also makes it easier to fill.

You'll end up with something like the picture that I've attached. I'll post the pictures of the homemade external system that I built out of plexiglass tomorrow. You could buil;t something similar for cheap. I'll also post pictures of my home made waterblock construction if I can still find them. In case you want to build your own waterblock.

Yeah im gana try to bild my own water cooler when i get money .

Is it EZ to make your own water block out of a small heatsink ??

[Fw190]

trust me on this one, spend the $50 on a good waterblock. I made my own, twice, it's not worth the effort.

[ACE 256]

ok thanks.
