Peltiers anyone use them ?

[easyrider]

Was looking at maybe using one.What are peoples thoughts on them?

Thanks

Post any pics to please if you have any.Or tips or info.I'm not that clued up on them.

Thanks

Easy

No longer really justified to be honest. Water alone will do very well and phase change will do way better than a peltier. The expense and hassle of TECs really isn't worth it.

Why the hassle?

expense I can get a 320w peltier and two copper cold plates for 32 quid.Surely I should give it a try?

please explain?

Until he loses his GFX/CPU to condesation

Also what PSU do you have, as you may need a seperate one to effectively run all you other stuff (which looks like you have a lot), and run the pelt?

620w Enermax liberty

From what I've heard they're known to be horrendously inefficient and will probably munch their way through electricity, but it might be worth a shot. I'd just go the whole hog on phase though instead of bothering with a TEC though personally

Yes have been looking into phase too.

However its 500 big ones!

Great post Marci.

Yes superb!

Thanks Marci cleared a lot up for me there.

Custom phase doesn't have to be expensive, depends on what you want really. Decent head (ie chilly, kayl etc) is a LOT easier to fit, the stock Mach kit's are a right pain to get mounted though - agree with that! Can mount a chilly1 evap in ~ 2 mins, with pretty much perfect contact every time. Insulation took ~ 20 mins to sort on the P5B and don't get a drop of condensation. Ever.

Can I have some pics please?

You not using any nail varnish or dieletric grease there OC_A64?

Nail varnish?

Now I am confused

 

[easyrider]

so 4ghz dual orthos stable if I go phase?

That all?

Would want maybe 4.3ghz at least

 

[easyrider]

I have so much more left in my quad with the multi and the FSB.

I am currently at 3.6ghz

I would have thought that 4.2 ghz would be achieveable on phase?


Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I have water already!

Temps are ok but ideally would like them lower.

70c dual orthos prime it can creep too

 

[easyrider]

Depends on how well the CPU scales, what sort of voltage you need to get there, what sort of load the phase unit's capable of etc.
4ghz if not more should be ok stable under phase I'd guess (assuming the unit's capable of holding the CPU and decent sub-zero temps) you'll probably get more benchable.

3.6ghz needs 1.485v

So its got life still in it yet.

 

[easyrider]

Ive seen them up to 4.5Ghz on phase.

Wow 24/7? normal everyday use?

 

[easyrider]

Nice kitfit1

Can you post some pics of your setup?

Did you grease the mobo etc...

 

[easyrider]

Yeah I'm a bit like that,

I tried SLI 7900 GTX and that was it my interest in sli was quashed.

I wanted to do water now I have done it the unkown factor has gone.

Guess I need to do phase just to get it out of my system.

Then there will be nowhere for me to go other than getting a 6300 and a 650i for £160

I suppose once you have clocked the top end cpu's to extreme clocks the fun comes from clocking the low end stuff that costs a tenth of one component of your previous setup.

would adding another radiator to my loop lower the temps of my current setup matt100?

 

[easyrider]

I appreciate that probably isn't going to help

actually, I tell you what I found.. phase helped me find crazy max UNSTABLE clocks on my cpu.. for example I think I got to about 3.4ghz on my X2 3800 but I only ever got it stable at 3ghz.

Water never lets me achieve a semi stable clock 400mhz over my eventual stable clock, its always much closer.

Like Bennah said, there are plenty of custom builders around

Good greif!

why did you go and post that!

Thats superb mate

Oh god I must resist,I must resist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[easyrider]

just get it over with ffs

ROTFL

 

[easyrider]

My philosophy is don't knock something until you have tried it.

I have decided to give phase a whirl

With my extreme edition quad,well it would be rude to not too.

I have done water and like the results,doubt I will ever go back to AIR again.



Phase seems like a challange even if people see it has a pain in the backside.I thought that with water but the satisfaction of pulling it off is enough for me.

Oh and the overclocking etc..

 

[easyrider]

Keep the pics coming I'm getting more of an idea of phase setups

 

[easyrider]

Ive got loads of pics on my computer at home i'll upload when im finished work.

sweet

 

[easyrider]

-180 is just plain bonkers!

 

[easyrider]

Anyways, I better not read this thread anymore its just making me think that phase is the way to go and I should sack the laptop idea and get a desktop unit once again and overclock

lol you know it makes sense
