Upgrade Decision & cooling

mandelore · Dec 19, 2007

Well, ive made my decision (mostly) about my upgrade cpu and its cooling

Im going to get a monster 437W dual inlet/outlet Arctic Web peltier block:

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6...939_940_AM2.html?tl=g30c105&id=dcpAIpre#blank

This will be a signficant bump from my previous 200+ W peltier of my Opteron rig.

To cool this i already have another thermochill pa120.3 and 1 or 2 120mm blackice rads (cant decide whether to just use one of them) + a pretty powerful pump. I will also buy a new 24v 600W Meanwell peltier power supply, my current 14V meanwell is now for sale

As for the processor.. well....

i will either buy a Q9550, or a Quad Extreme QX9650 on a pay monthly finance option. But im going all the way here for the cpu, if i do indeed get the QX it will deffo see me for a damn damn long time

why the hell would you want a dual inlet dual outlet block? are you actually going to run two seperate tubes to it, or are you gonna run one inlet one outlet and hook them up with a y-fitting?

yes it will be joined via a Y connector onto 2 single lines leading out

well that's completely pointless then, you won't get any increased flow that way.
save your money and get a single inlet single outlet block with a 437w tec attached. or better yet, invest in phase! after all's said and done it'll cost about the same and be way easier to set up, and, obviously, you'll get way better temps!

no its not completely pointless, it enhances the cooling ability of the block. check out some of the reviews for the block. as for phase, well i was going to, but i already have the main components for the pelt setup, the rads etc.. all i need is the pelt block and power supply, which is far cheaper than phase
