    That would be kewl...er


    Check this thread
    You can bet I'm keep'in it chill.
    I have considered chiller system but it's out of my realm mentally & $$$'s :haha:

    if you can find a aquarium chiller used also you could use it.. this were on ebay new for $289.00

    Brilliant!!

    yes that would work with the new fluid systems.
    Now you got me think'n,
    freon chiller out side to super cool
    h20 (w/ dessolved ions)
    pumped into pc box through sealed hose to all the heat sinks
    would definately work!
    I have a very good aquarium center that has surpplus....Hmmmm? ;) :

    i would use a half liter to a liter insulated resevoir tank run the chiller way ahead get the water temp down then let it balance it self. should run nice a cold 20 or 15 celcius with ease.

    This is south florida it gets in the 90s but very humid of course the A.C can keept it at 72- 75 or 80 most of the time, some days it strugles to keep it at low 80s. right now is 76 degree at 9.40 pm but i can crank the ac to maybe 70 at night.

    "I went true the Super Peltier Junction idea, it's a cool "dry" idea and they use it already for CPU cooling I saw.
    I just wonder why it hasn't been more commonly known on the market?'

    Here's why:
    1. Peltiers take up a crapload of Watts. Most PSU's don't have that amount of extra Watts. If you don't give it enough juice, you don't transfer enough heat off the CPU. When this happens, your CPU will fry because the peltier is a very bad conductor of heat, making it worse off. When that happens, you'll do better with the CPU alone without any heatsink/fan. Also, peltiers with not enough wattage will not transfer enough heat across, causing the same problem as mentioned above.

    2. Peltiers that do move enough energy across will create a bigger need for a bigger heatsink on the other side. If you don't cool down the hot side fast enough, the cold side will also start heating up. And since peltiers create more heat on the hot side than absorbing heat on the cold side, you 'd probably need something like a water cooling system on the hot side.

    3. They cost money, as some other posts have mentioned.

    4. You get condensation problems. But that is specifically for high powered peltier systems. Its not that hard to control the peltier, but a normal thermostat will not bode well for your peltier, so you'd need to sink in more money for a proper temperature controller for you peltier (something to do with the way peltiers operate).

    5. Peltiers are not very power efficient at the moment. Not much money has been put into improving these peltiers.

    But if you can overcome all these problems, I'm sure peltiers will be used more often. In fact, I was just researching these peltiers, I found that someone is coming out with a peltier operated CPU cooler. Full set will cost quite abit, and it addresses most of the problems mentioned. Comes will a complete set of instructions on how to prevent condensation (doesn't use thermostats). Check the link on the other thread I started.
