Hey, I started a new thread as suggested. Currently I am in the middle of an i7 build consisting of dual GTX 285 graphic cards which I had from my last rig. I am water cooling the cpu, gpu's, and motherboard chipsets and v regs (EVGA X58 classified). I was looking into making my own custom chiller using the 437 watt peltiers from frozen cpu. I am avoiding phase at all cost due to noise space constraints and bad past experience with unreliability with these units.
I work as a lab tech with access to solidworks and some co workers with machining facilities that help me out on the final design. Ive over clocked with AMD in the past and this is my first Intel build. Im not too familiar with tec's, but I get the ideal and the principles behind there operation. I've already ordered my power supply which is an ultra X3 1600. It is a single 12V rail unit capable of 117 amps (1404 watts) on the 12V rail alone. My current rig used no more than 50 to 60 amps on the 12V rail measured with a fluke ammeter at full load. I was wondering if the 12V rail could support a tec since it is no where close to being fully utilized? Ive already started drawing up the designs of the chiller on solid works.
I need as much feedback as possible such as peltier suggestions, amount of pelts, and design suggestions, etc. . Also suggestions on a secondary supply if really needed would be appreciated. Ive read thrugh almost every thread on peltier cooling. Any of your experience with pelts would be appreciated greatly. Final goal is to have dual loop system using a chiller that is pulse width modulated that will regulate the cold side of the loop. I have a designs in place for the controller. Im trying to keep the design as compact and neat as possible. I will post some pictures when I have the drawing done. Thanks
