Water question

[Vingen]

Hi, i have a question here..

I wonder how cold the water should be to cool a 226W TEC?
i own a MCW462-UT witn 226w tec, i seems like the TEC is not cold.. its not the psu, since it the recommend psu from swiftec that can delivery 24A on 12V..

my rigg is

a water tank with 6-8L water..
2 car radiator (that beat black ice extreme easy)
2 waterpump (ehiem 1250 & sicce idra)

with this stuff i still cannot get the cold out of the TEC, my CPU is on ~30C on stock speed.. and the water around 30c too..
what do i need to do?

Well... it may just be poor contact between the TEC and the CPU. Have you tried running it without the computer to see if any frost form on the TEC? It should look something like this:

If it's not, you may have a defective TEC or power supply, or poor contact between the TEC and the water block.

yes i have try it,.... with the 30C water i get 20C on the cold side, with 7C water i was abel to get -4C, so it must be my tec, since my psu is new
