a...and it doesn't die? hmm...how cold would that get?

look in the damned review!!!!!

and you have to remember, CPU's put out ~100w heat (or more) at stock speeds now

here are temps from a prescott P4 thats OC'd:



Note: The 1 radiator is a 120x240mm radiator with 2 120mm fans side by side, while the 2 radiator is that same 120x240mm radiator with a SECOND 120x120mm radiator with a 120mm fan on it

Hmm, interesting...

Well, Intel's known for having extremely hot processors...
AMD's procs are soooo much cooler-running

i got my pelts, but the voltage from the regulator goes from 1.3v to 0v when i attatch the pelteir.
i need to kno exactly how to set up the regulator and peltiers. the peltiers cant exceed 1.5 volts each.

That must mean you don't have enough current. Either that or there's a short in your pelt...

they work off a aa battery, but not off of the regulated power from the voltage regulator

they work off a aa battery, but not off of the regulated power from the voltage regulator

You're trying to run pelts of a single AA battery??????

and you probably don't have enough watts available (like i said )

omfg im not tryin to run em off a aa i was just stating that i kno they work that way, and not when hooked up to a voltage regulator thats at 1.3v


@ Kerm everytime i go newhere on ur site, i have to click go on the address bar, after ife clicked the link, happens in ie too

yeah, i was getting that too, seems to be fixed now tho

ya not happenin to me either now, i think ima have to buy a big 1, but i think ill wait till ive upgraded to a 64 to use it, they have the large shield to affix it to.

That has happened to me, and it would do the same thing whenever I would try and post; today it's decided to let me post

@pat: Why aren't you powering the pelts from your PSU?

i am, but unless i hook up 4 of em they get over powered, theyre not full size, theyre .38in x .38in

...Seems to me that you need a PSU connector, a voltage regulator, and variable resistor (to control the Amps being pulled by the pelts)

About how many Watts do these pelts use?

it said 1 uses 6

Okay;

1 Pelt takes 6W;

Watts = Amps x Volts

So you want 1.5V on the pelt;

6 = A x 1.5
A = 2

So you need 2 Amps to be pulled from the PSU through the connector on the PSU.
Now the PSU can support up to 40A per connector, so we need a resistor to limit pulling 40A to just 2A; however, when using the voltage regulator, you can't pull 40A; you can only pull the max that the regulator can handle; what part number is on your voltage regulator?

umm, its the only variable 1 at radioshack, let me go see

Okay, check this out: http://www.electronics-lab.com/articles/LM317/index.html

Use 4.7K for R1, and 1K for R2; I'm not entirely sure as to how many Amps can be pulled with that; it's not specified in the datasheet.

You do have heatsinks for the regulators, right?

a 6watt pelt for a CPU is worthless. Get a 12v pelt w/ 200w+ made for CPU use, and a good watercooling setup.
