[Team.AU] Corsair RAM TEC Cooler/Waterblock
Hey fellas
Corsair sent over their new TEC RAM Cooler kit
well built this thing....unusual to see a RAM TEC cooler but what the hell :D
you could use this as a regular water cooler for RAM as well without TEC
it's dead easy to disassemble, pull the TEC out and just use the block
beware that this is still a beta sample and that final product will have some changes which i cant go into at the moment but it is not all at it seems :)
i pulled it all apart and as you will see you will be able to use different wattage TECs....... the internals are aluminium i would say even though it's pretty heavy so good for benching....24/7 usage is not wise if mixed with copper obviously UNLESS you use it with all alu kit like Corsair Nautilus500(aka N500) or something similar. i did tell the guys even when i got my initial N500 that it would be wise to go copper rad....i'll obviously talk to them again to see if it's feasible to have a copper block and N500 copper rad version as i believe these will be produced for 24/7 use as well....more details later ;);). i use my N500 for benching a lot as its dead easy to change over blocks and cool different rigs ....extremely flexible benching watercooler.....i found it a bit too loud for 24/7 use but i'm really anal about computer noises on my normal day to day PC...i dream of a system without fans or pumps but it just isnt happening atm :rofl:......for my benching gear i'm not bothered that i'm mixing copper and alu...i even have spare 120 copper rads but cbf-ed putting them in heheh
i'll try and fire it up this weekend to see how it all goes and how cold it gets
let me post some pics now.....
