Swiftech MCW7000-T for Corei7 announced

[duckbillclinton]

duckbillclinton, I suggest you read a bit more on TEC's before making claims you are unable to back up. A 360w Qmax TEC requires nearly 600w of power to run at 360 Qmax. Assuming the voltage is lower than Umax then you no longer get the full 360w Qmax. As muffy stated these results just don't make any sense.

Hey, bud, I did say on my post a 360W TEC will need 600W PSU. What I tried to say was we don't need 700W PSU, lol, since a 600W can overload a bit (+- 5 to 15% depending on spec). I do undertand lots TEC rated 24V is indeed 24.1V, and a 360W Qmax TEC will need 360/ 0.6 = 600W power. I have been working in far east for 3.5 years now, and yes, before I posted here, I made 2 phone calls to 2 TEC factories here and talked to their engineers (the sales people routed my calls since they can't handle my questions).

Please don't get me wrong, dude. You are the one that is cool enough to know one of the key factor for TEC cooling is power supply, but you need to really read through my posts, lol.

However, one thing that puzzles me on this forum is that even ChillerZero is so hardcore on extreme cooling (with his 20+ pages work log covering modded SwiftTec TEC cooling), lots still don't believe him, even there's no reasons he should scam on the screenies. In fact, i think both of us do know ChillerZero's biggest problem on his setup is him having a gimpy 320W PSU.

By the way, I do have a question for you though, does Qmax change base on temperature? How come you mentioned 437W Qmax (50c), and 360W Qmax (27C)? If the temperature does play a factor, isn't that suppose to go the other way around?

Peace,
