Hello,
I´m looking to install a TEC on my northbridge. I have to posibilities either to add it below mi actual chipset water block or I was thinking of buying a MCW50-T.
My questions are:
- If I use my actual water block and add the peltier which one should I use? I´m thinking of using a 80W pletier (If using a 172W or even 226W help me to attain higher overclocking just let me know). Also do I need to add a cold plate between the chipset and the TEC? If so which tim should I use?? I intended to use Ceramique but also have Artic Silver III. Should I need any king of insulation?? With some dielectric grease around the chipset would be enough or should add also some foam and also grease at the back of the board?
- About the swiftech block: has anyone being able to attach that block to the chipset without using epoxy?? if so how?? Can you replace the tec inside that block with a more power full one?
- Last thing which dedicated PSU you recommend me for this tec and another TEC I´m planning to use for my video card (176W for example).
Sorry for the number of questions but after so many months reading the forum many questions came out.
Thanks for the answers.
