centralized or delocalized (i think those are real words)

[aja]

normally cpu's are a centralized heat source, so the idea with water cooling is to get as much water flowing through the smallest space as quickly as possible, but pelts are different, the are a delocalized or spread out source of heat, meaning that a water block with beeeeg internal surface area would cool a peltier better(like this one as opposed to this? )

am i right???

im planning on buying that 400w pelt from frozencpu, but miking my own waterblocks coz i have to pay for shipping to south africa, so making my own is cheaper and waaaaaay more fun......

Exactly. Have fun.

Thats absolutely correct.

Btw, hows the 820?

its okay, im gonna sell it and get myself a 630 or something, coz i must admit, windows runs sooo smoothly and burning cd's, encoding video and listening to music and whatever else all at the same time is easy with this chip, but gaming kinda sucks, and even with my heatsink, as good as you are gonna get with air anyway, still doesnt clock high, even though the temps are low and overvolting the thing makes absolutely no difference....

i should have done more research, but i couldnt because i didnt have my pc yet that allows me to go onto the internet and do research.....so i just bought it and hoped for the best...

it is a very good buy for what it cost, yet it is the wrong chip for what i use it for....

and xp x64? hahahahahaaha, what a waste, even though it was cheaper than the 32bit, didnt do anything other than giving me looooads of driver problems...i mean, the mobo comes with a giant sticker: 64 bit computing supported! but they dont give you the 64 bit drivers to install your network card to be able to connect to the network to go on the internet to download all the other drivers you dont get with the cd.....so all in all a bit of a mess....
