NoNothing Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 ok, this will be my first WC/Peltier setup, it will only cool CPU, ive got a GREAT air cooleron GPU, and chipset HA i laugh in your face you silly wetter of otherpwoples beds! my system specs are listed below, and i get about (idle/heavy) cpu: 30/45 im hoping to get that below 0*C if it is posible. Here is a list of the parts i have chosen. I have done alot of reading and know all about condensation so please spare yourself the time of telling me that, but please tell me if this is a good setup and let e know anyhting, or point me in the direction of something that i should know plz. thank you Water Block Res 8Ft of tubing and a y spliter Pump Rad 2 YS 125CFM 120MM fans Pelt The rad wil be installed on the top of my case, i will build a protective "sheild" for it, and i will have another PSU powering the pelt up there too. this does however have to be a mobile system, i take it back and forth from moms and dads once a week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agallion Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 the whole moving my watercooling rig doesnt sound like a good idea to me.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pent uP Rage Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) From what I've learned about pelt setups, you'd be better off saving your money for a phase change cooler like a Mach II...especially for a travelling system. Easier to set up, deal with, and will be less likely to have MAJOR problems. Pelts are NOT for the uninitiated...AT ALL. But, if small electronics fires and wasting a bunch of money is your thing....go right ahead. Really though, your WC setup looks cool, but I'd stay away from pelts for a first setup....but thats just me. BTW, I'll bet the pelt would cool better if it was upside down Edited February 18, 2005 by Pent uP Rage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agallion Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 wow...max opt temp 125C...u can cook ramen noodles on that thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 so wait, should i avoid WC all together if its a mobile system, i mean, there wont be leaks if im careful about it right? right? well, oh well, just looking for a way to blowmy tax returns....and looking for a better way to cool my system rather then open a window when i game...

drewkivela Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 well if you have about $900 you can get a phase change thats all in one case -drew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravix Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 And another thing, that RBX won't work with any decent sized pelt, it is too narrow. Get a maze4, they are basically designed for a pelt setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer2cool Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 yes... i dont think anyone with a pelt uses a RBX block... its kinda waste of money it wasnt design for pelt.. i say, save the trouble and get this instead http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-blc-134.html or http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-blc-108.html those 2 stuff will save you a whole lot of trouble .. and you wont reach below 0C man... using that 226W pelt should let you reach closes 10C load temps if your watercooling is really good... to get below subzero you need like 400W.. hope that helps..

NoNothing Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 ok, well, could somone point me in the direction of info on these in case Phase Change systems? are they prebuilt? i assume not.... Thanks for all the fast responses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 cool a pelt with a pelt then you can cool that pelt with another one. And on and on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer2cool Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 vapochills are pre built phase change coolers though it will cost you more, so some ppl built their own..but for that you need the proper skills, knowledge and equipment.. cool a pelt with a pelt then you can cool that pelt with another one. And on and on. LOL if you do that, your electric bill gonna jump man... a pelt by itself is already an inefficient way of cooling things, let along having a series of it cooling each other off.. haha haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
