V10 Update


Well I got rid of the temp TEC control unit and hooked the TEC up direct and had it running 100% all the time. Disappointing results... 18.7 Degrees C on the cold plate with NO load... Sad sad sad

Here are the pics and the results, Ask me what else you want to see. The 320 Watt TEC won't fit on the V10... That was disappointing, I may need to force it to fit...

Tested on the Phenom II system again with same overclock. 1.525 V core and 3.7GHz...






















After dis assembly, I took apart the TEC plug and ran it directly to a 12 V rail, having it direct through an ammeter first.

Maximum amperage was right between 5.8 and 5.9 Amps putting it right at the 70 Watt range.


















Performance


Well after lots of run time and prime 95 etc, I have decided that the TEC on at 100% only benefits idle temps really since on full load the TEC must have been running at 100% anyway.

Let me know what you guys think and even with no load there was no condensation. What is the largest 40mm TEC you can get cause that is what I would need to buy. My 320 Watt TEC is a 50mm and way too big.
