If not they're just going to fight each other at ambient and the radiator is likely to have a lot more capacity than the TECs.Quote:

sounds like you guys are wanting to make a coolit system
yeah, but, one that actually works.... :rofl:Quote:

I'll be particularly interested in playing around with it around winter time when the heat belching forth from the TECs can be put to good use. I used to fly scientific missions with 1KW of TECs venting onto the back of my seat. That's difficult to appreciate when the ambient temp of the plane is over 50C.Quote:

I'm VERY familiar with how heatpipes work but, what does that have to do with CoolIT stuff, everything I've seen of theirs is either direct die tec or a water chiller.Quote:

I thought you might have been refering to the post with quad 6mm and quad 10mm heatpipes. Thats a funny thread.Quote:

I've worked with 1.5KW TEC setups in scientific applications where detector temperatures needed to be held constant within a fraction of a degree, so I'd say I've learned plenty about TEC. This PC TEC stuff is fun and games by comparison.
LoL Guys NOL gets the package tomorrow.
And he will do the tests. So wish him luck.

I like that idea of using the two way ball valve, that could be sweet
I'm still working on the case mod so the TEC parts are sitting for now. I'll start a thread when I get going on it again.Quote:

Now i need him to respond on the status of the parts. The last time i sent out a ups shipment, they broke a leg off my RD-30 GRRRRR.
Nice DIY, at least you guys went ahead with the concept, one of few. Congrats, will now show us its plus and minus points better :up:
I have to admit, theory doesn't favor the setup design for providing efficient cooling though. Don't really want to get in detail right here, looks like plenty has been mentioned already and it was only for practical experimentation, in which case... everything absurd to genius goes. :D
I'm going to be building on a sub-ambient thermal concept myself by December, but it doesn't feature TEC units at all.
Status of parts?
Okay in the box; triple 120mm swiftech rad, 6 yate loons, the beautiful peltier assembly, meanwell, some wierd thin 80mm ish fan, a copper topped apogee, a laing d5 and I think thats it. Will be trying a few possible configurations, and most importantly will attach a ton of thermocouples and look like I'm doing something hard and technical.
Can't wait for pictures and results!Quote:
