Simpele peltier upgrade voor waterkoeling 1 Attachment(s) I've been running WC for a while now, got a Core i7 960 and a HD5870 running in 1 loop with a 360 rad with Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000. It's cool but I need cooler.|D Saw this company and the HME2009 fair in the netherlands where a company displayed their peltier cooling solution, their goal is to get peltier cooling to the masses by supplying an easy to mount peltier solution. The only thing needed according to the company(MadMouse) is a 2nd pump and reservoir and ofcourse their unit. Power consumption isn't a problem, got a Silverstone Strider 1500Watt. What are your thoughts on this thing, probablt going to get a 400Watt and 200Watt unit from them. |
there are some commercial products which use peltier to increase cooling performance, like the CoolIT product series; in my experience they don't offer a better performance/noise ratio compared to air cooling; adding them to your custom water loop might drop the water temp a few degrees, but in my humble opinion the consumed wattage and extra cost is too high; if you want an upgrade from your WC; go phase change; entry level units are ~€400 and they'll offer noticeably lower temps; we had several forum members here who used phase change cooling on their 24/7 workstations for more than a year; so it can be used for daily computing. in the end though, the question would be: why do you want to run that Core i7 960 at lower temperature? a higher overclock , even if you manage to squeeze out an extra 500Mhz, won't translate into a real-world performance boost. I would rather invest that money to remove another bottleneck, install an SSD, if you already have on, get a second bigger one :) |

The same goed for phase change, 2 big units to cool everything, I want MAX cooling and MAX performance in 1 case. |
Your GPU could use your current cooling setup, without the CPU in the loop, the temps will be quite low and you can easily OC and overvolt it; the GPU is not as hot as the CPU :) |

you'd need a water block that covers all those areas, or add a fan and heatsink to those voltera chips |

have you tried the loop with the CPU? Maybe you can get away with a high end heatsink for the CPU (TR IFX-14 or Noctua nh-d14) |
