Makeing a 226W TEC Sandwich :D

Hi there!

Short introduction: Just built a new gaming/e-penis computer consisting of:
-Evga 780i
-E8400
-2x88GTS g92
-4gb OCZ Reaper X
-750W Corsair TX
-2x750 Samsung F1s Raid 0
-Lian Li PCA70B

Running at stock cooling atm which is to noisy and not so overclocking friendly...

So therefor im throwing in waterblocks on everything exept HDDs.

I have fallen in love with EK Acetal waterblocks so that leads us to a full set of EKs. List:
-Supreme
-780i NB
-680i MOSFET Part1
-FC 88GT/GTS g92 x2
-NB/SB 6

Then to the pump / rad set up:
- Thermochill PA 3.120 mounted at the top of the case
-Laing DDC w/ek custom top (petras out of stock both at petras and sidewinder and not a fan of waiting :P)

Then back to topic, lol sorry for the wall of text spamming your screen atm. :rolleyes:

To add some extremeness to it im thinking on adding a 226W TEC in between two Apogee-1U 775s with the hot side cooled by its own PA 1.120/2.120, laing ddc loop.

So then my question is, how much will it really lower the watertemps?
Will full scale condens protection cover up be required?

probably about 3c. hum as for insulation you will probably need to insulate the tec and cold area. but if you undervolt the tec you can get away without insulating.

3c... thats pretty low...

Then im thinking about adding a TEC straight on the cpu... but i have no experience with insulating, what so ever.

I think i can do it, but its not so fun to kill cpu + motherboard because thats whats likely to get fried if i do it wrong?

How is the EVGA 780i to insulate? Any nasty components on the back likely to be crushed?

thier is a good deal of effort involved in insulating
thiers plenty of post's around here & stickys to get a good idea of what you will need

good luck with your fun !
