INITIAL TESTING OF TRUE TEC MODULE
Both probes read 23.5C before I turned the PC on.
Both TEC power supplies are set to 9.2V.
The core temperature in the bios is obviously wrong, but at least I know it is getting cold.
Temperature cold plate = -8.5C
Temperature hot plate = 42.0C
In vista, both core temperatures are stuck. This is the stable overclock I had with just air cooling.
Here is an idle shot. You can see where I put the 2 TEC power supplies.
Temperature cold plate = -11.8C
Temperature hot plate = 40.7C
Here is a full load shot. I ran superpi 32M. This is a 11.5 minute test. These are the highest temperature that I saw during the test. The temps rose to this level after a minutes or so into the test and stayed around there for the remainder of the test.
Temperature cold plate = -7.0C
Temperature hot plate = 42.6C
Front view of case with Mr. T.
PC power is on the left and TEC power is on the right. You can even see the blue relay that turns the TEC power supplies on with the PC.
CONCLUSIONS:
The cold plate temps are lower than I expected at -11.8C idle and -7C load. It's hard to say for sure what the core temperatures are but they must be pretty damn cold! Next step is to push the overclock higher, but I'm gonna take a little time to do some gaming before continuing.![]()
