testing out my pelt

rhino56 · 03-08-2005, 05:19 PM

i just got this pelt and wanted to test it and just see what kinda temps it will do on its own and to make sure it works.

so i got the water running thru it to about 26C as that is about what my current water setup runs at.

i really like it, cant wait to get it on my card.

the wires running to the psu did get warm so im going to get a larger gauge wire and better connectors for less resistance.

ill post in this thread with pics as i go with it.

wow very nice lap... but remember kiddies shinyness does not equal flat and you want flat.

if you are ripping it apart and everything, you may want to replace the pelt with something bigger. the 80W was fine for me, but bigger = better (if you have a good PSU, that is)

any 40mm TEC will fit it is what i have heard. 50mm ones will not fit (most TECs you see are 50mm)

yeah get the 172w 24v 40mm

even if you're only going to run it at 12v it's better than the 80w
