Review In The Thermaltake Subzero Thermo-electric
DJ_Mittens replied to BlueDragon's topic in Overclocking and Cooling
In theory, this is a very bad idea. Why? Because the peltier it uses can only handle a CPU that is producing 73w of heat; or, in other words, the peltier is only capable of moving 73w of thermal energy from the cold side of the plate to the hot side (the cold side being the side with the CPU and the hot side being the side with the heatsink). You must now factor into the equation the fact that the peltier itself is consuming energy, and as such is making the heatsink transfer more than 73w of thermal energy from the sink to the air, probably closer to 100w. So, it's like making your CPU 33% hotter than it really is. It's better to just get an SLK-800 which will have lower power consumption, and maintain a lower ambient temp against your cpu and within the heatsink and inside your case. All told, it's a fancy gimick for people who don't really know how it operates.
