Sacrifice a single TEC?

[UFgatorSean]

Hello all!

I am strongly considering dropping a pelt from my dual TEC setup. I have a 320W CPU and 127W GPU swiftech setup.

My main reason is power cost.

My question is which tec would you drop and why? I am leaning towards keeping the GPU (x800) and doing H2O direct die for the CPU. (3.2e @ 3.8ish)

Also is a single tec in the loop gonna keep the water too hot for effectice watercooling on the other device? would you switch it to air?

Thanks for any opinions and input.

Maybe swap the 320W for the Gpu and get rid of the 127W. :D If your really stuck, you could just run them at a lower voltage, that way they still have some cooling ability but they wont be using that much electricity.

If your water is too hot then this might be why your not as happy with your TEC system as you might be.

What is your watertemp with both TEC on?
