tec cooling... advantages and disadvantages?

[skurten]

Hi there!

Im using a swiftec block with pelt right now and im gonna change my mainbord, so i was thinking of remove the pelt...

Advantages:
Warranty not void when mouting.
easier to mount.
dont get so warm -> get the noiselevel down.

Disadvantages:
Hotter cpu
less oc´ing...


Any suggestions? What should i do??


My new hardware: 8rda+, 2400+, 2x256ddr twinmos pc3200/winbond

I don't quite understand what you're getting at here, but anyway....

If you already have the TEC, why not keep using that? Is there any particular reason not to? And more cooling = better, of course :D.

well... i meant that if i dont use the TEC then the water dont get so hot witch means that i can run the fans on like 5v... but im have desided? to use the TEC anyway, gonna get another radiator instead maybe :)

Another disadvantage:

+$40 on your utilities

I think I'm gonna find an apartment with utilities included :D.

Lol, yeah. I live in a dorm, so at least that's not an issue ;).
