Finally got around to playing with my pelt + water

[STEvil]

Is my block decent if its holding an 86 watt load @ 27.7c with 22c ambient and 100gph pump?

All aluminum, only 1 channel for water inside the block.

[STEvil]

nothing yet, just playing with it to see how good its working for how cruddy it is..

Not sure what fluid temp is, I should put the probe in there.

I dont think my probe is reading the cold side correctly as its icing up and it reads 3.8c right now....

Water temp is reading at.... 22.1c

EDIT

I should mention its the hot side reading at 23.6c (now).

EDIT

Heating up my hot glue gun so I can glue the darn probe to the block for a better reading... its bouncing aroudn about .4c.

what size tec? running what power?

[STEvil]

86 watt, 12v.

[STEvil]

Cold side is at -6.1c now..

Oh so your just load testing you cpu block not cooling anything then?

[STEvil]

not yet.. not even sure what i'm gonna cool with it as the block is kinda big for anything but a northbridge and I dont think i'd trust it on a FC-PGA/2 core CPU/GPU without a heat spreader or something.

Is this assy of yours as follows:
cold plate
TEC
water block

?

If it's a purpose made block you may drill some holes or customize it anyhow you like to fit GPU/NB (86watts is not enough for anything more than GPU and even there you are likly to be getting +5 to + 10 idle temps depending on how uch you oc it....

old p1 heatsink -> tec -> water block.

Will use a cold plate with whatever I put it on.. just used a p1 heatsink so it would get lots of ice on it and look neat while playing.
