Hello T.E.C. Users :toast:
I just opened up pkg from DangerDen- :slap: :slapass:
Maze4-1 TEC
Total lack of Instructions, (maybe, because in my excitement
when I ran down to work,{were I have all my stuff shipped to}
to pick-up newest toy after called on DAY OFF to find out it arrived,
I do remember what I thought was Invoice being tossed on shelf)
So if there is any, I'll post to that fact tomorrow. :fact:
I'm still trying to see what all the big who-haw is about this "Anchor" weighted block? :confused:
I quess I can always add a support type of something to let the card rest on
or bolt to to help reduce to pull this is going to put on the AGP slot.
Must admit it's lower profiled than I expected, but will sit a bit higher
than the Zalman ZM-GWB1 small type, thats been mounted to this V-card
while I collect, redesign and rethink my "may never get finished" 64-bit water-
cooled system.
Height=
Maze4-1 = 1.389
TEC 4 maze = .135
Total = 1.524
GWB1 = 1.080
AWC-1's GPU = .647 (this was top of block cover)
AWC-1 GPU = .940 ( this was top of mnt screw)
These all would have a k or so extra for thermal paste. ( about 3k on maze)
What I"m wondering also is my PSU for this TEC?
I have a switching DC power supply-
Samlex America model SEC 1223, 23AMPS @ 13.8VDC
If it's OK I'll open it up and see if power switch is AC or DC side and deside
on relay or whatever to make sure it starts with System power up. :fact:
Does anybody here have any opinions ?
thanks
:cool:

Run it off PC PSU - should cope fine altho specs of PC would help. Most folks these days upgrade the 80w TEC for a 24v 172w TEC, which at 12v ends up being 126w - performs much better than the 15v 80w TECs.

Shouldn't need any extra support - never bothered in any of my rigs...

Any idea what the real IMax of a 172w TEC is? That way we can really know how it performs at 12v. That or resistance, but resistance firgures are harder to aquire from manufs than amperage values, and they're MUCH harder to measure.

I could test for resistance on this TEC with my FLUKE 23.


Why would I want to use the systems power supply when I have that one?
