Peltier Chiller, nearly done!

[-(CH)-]

Shipping isnt too bad, only about 5-10 dollars, but the transaction (ahh is that spellt right?) is about 20 dollars
Is there absolutly no way to fix it?

I've done business with many ppl internationally and seen o transaction charge ..maybe this has changed,yuo talkin about Paypal?

No just online banking, still too young for a credit card,

My TEC just died!! The + wire melted off, with a spark and a small flame it said goodbye. I tried to solder it back on, but even though I solder everyday I cant fix this! Anyone got a good tipp on how to resolder it?

Its really difficult to resolder tec's their notorius for the wires melting and breaking off right where it touches the ceramic of the tec. In the future you should use a higher gauge wire

The TEC came with the wire already "solderd" on it. Im guessing it kinda ripped of a bit, and through the ripping there was air between the contacts and air means a higher resitance which also means more heat, then it died.

Some of my wire on my 230 have melted too I should of soldered a better wire onto it from the beggining,my 320W is still brand new tho...still havent got a good PSU for it lol(not buying meanwell).

I could sell you a 90A, 5V, 15 A 12 Volt. I have about 7 pieces at home but the shipping would be horrible

About the TECs you have, pm me about the price might be intressted

Where are the pics. I want to see

Hey guys, I caught on to this while researching info on the Wintsch Arctic Web.

I am going to be working with one soon and was looking for additional sources of TEC experience. In particular all the dangers, I know about the condensation issues, but of concern are problems involving unloaded CPUs, etc.

Anyway, I like this idea you guys have going. In fact, I played with this over a year ago with only moderate success do to insufficient power and a poor choice in water block. Althought at least I did prove the concept was sound, I mean it does work, and there are benefits to it.

At least -(CH)- survived a TEC failure and that's been the cause of many a dead CPU

Good Luck in your efforts and hello from PimpRig

Same thing happened to me, couldn't fix mine either. When I thought I'd done it and powered it up one end got hot as well as one side so it was cooling and heating on the same side Weired. BUMMER.

Ok im going to try a second run...

I will e using 4 Copper Plates 120*120*10mm. 4 320 W tecs @ 5 or 10 V.

The Copper Plates will be made into 2 Big watercoolers which I will have to drill and then solder together. I will then be cooling CPU and GPU. It will rock but be expensive so Ill have to save a couple of "weeks".

I still have those PSUs if anyone is intrested

5.5V 90A
12 V 10A
12V 5 A

PM me if someone is intressted, still have about 5
