Coolit Boreas - trying to carry on where CornerJack left off

If you did that, the Boreas would be cooling the heat dump of the Swiftech peltier, not the CPU itself.

Actually no I am wrong...applying chilled water to the hotside of the MCW6500-t will will change the heatpump slightly...for the better but not enough to make any marked difference.

and yes your right it would be cooling the heat dump.

but going through the mcw6500-t then to the boreas would not very good because the the heat given off by the TEC in the swify will be the heatpumped from the CPU plus (heatpumped from CPU times 40-45%) due to the heat generated by the TEC itself.

Hey Guys,

Great thread, love what you are doing with our Boreas!

I will make a concious effort to dedicate more time to the XS forums because I honestly love the explorations you guys get into.

I have also promised the XS team guys a boreas of their own to test but alas have not delivered yet.. they are probably slandering me somewhere haha.


ps. whether or not the swfitech block will work better on our setup will depend on what TEC they used. My hunch is that it will not be able to move the heat from an OC'd chip at 290W across its surface area as it will need to consume nearly that much power itself to pump the heat. My .02

pss. who is going to take on the flow rate myth hmm?

Cheers,

Barry @ CoolIT

I presume with the wattages your stating your talking about the new 7000 swiftech unit if GABE is to be believed that will be one monster unit, and as you say it will requiring some hardcore cooling just for itself. I and others have a hunch though that it won't be the stellar TEC that it's made out to be.
