    Peltier water chillers

    Ive seen peltier water chillers before where the water loop for your computer runs over the cold side of the pelts and a seperate loop cools the hot side of the pelts, but I had an idea, and I know I saw this somewhere...well similar to my idea, but anyways, could you machine a water block about 3 inches wide and 8 inches long, and put 3 or 4 small (like 100 watt'ish) pelts on the water block to cool the block and use HSF's to cool the hot side of the pelts.....so uhhh like hot water coming off CPU block...goes through radiator to get it cool, then goes through a peltier cooled block to get really cold, ad back through the cpu block...dunno if this would work, as soon as I get a job i think im gonna try it though.... any suggestions by anyone?

    Also: I know POS 20 dollar HSFs are good enough to cool 72 watt peltiers because back in the day when TNT2 vid cards were the :banana::banana::banana::banana: I had a 72 watt pelt and a HSF of a p120 to cool the vid card...weeeee

    Also #2: I was thinking about doing a phase change but umm..it seems REALLY expensive and complicated and icky and uhhhh I wanna do a few more H2O systems first =)

    That's awesome. It took a while to absorb all that was in your photos Res or rad in behind on the floor, overall some pretty decent sized runs for the tubing, pot mods everywhere, insulation. How many power supplies did it take and did you need to run a seperate loop/pump somewhere not seen here to cool the outer two blocks on the chiller?

    I used 3 when I used it for straight chilled water. I then hooked up a 220 pelt to the cpu and was running 4 PSUs.

    The hot loop was closed running through 3 radiators, I had a pelt on my Graphic card and it was a seperate loop going through 1 radiator into the res. My 220pelt/cpu loop went from the res to the chiller to the block and to the Aquacoil then back to the res.

    Thumbs up

    Procooling has an article up that leads people to believe it can't be done You should put a little article up somewhere (or have you already?)

    Those heatsinks are just on there by tape, My Radeon cards were a mess back then with silcone all over them, they were almost impossable to RMA.
