Now this Pelt is driving me nuts.

Ok guys I got everything insulated. And all is running but my Temps are higher now than they were before the pelt so I know I must be doing something wrong.

As a refresher here is my setup.

Abit KX7
XP 2000+
Maze 3-1
Aqua Coil
Mag 250gph
13.8v 25 amp PSU
226w pelt

temps at load will hit over 46c before that is about 4c higher than before. and if I implement the Halt command to idle the CPU in Wpcredit, temps only go to about 2c below ambient case temp.

I am not sure if this will make a difference but I did not use AS between the tec and the coldplte or the tec and the waterblock.

I need help badly

Nevermind problem solved, Thanks to Cardinal Fang at Icrontic. It was infact the Thermal paste on the TEC. So I am currently at 27-28c at full load at 2ghz with 2v. I have been trying so hard to break that 2ghz barrier.

Thanks m8 after a bit more testing CPU temps seem to level out at 33c and water temps hover in the 32.5 range.

Oh BTW good luck with that Soyo board I am interested in how it performs
