TEC on gf2 pro

[wildbilly2k]

whatkind of cooling would i need on my gf2 to peltier cool it with lets say a 40w peltier? Right now i have a blorb but i dont think that will cover it in the least bit so im thinking about putting a stock 1.2 ghz tbird cpu hsf.

[[EG]~NaTz~]

that should do it... ... you can aircool upto justabout an 80 watter...

[wildbilly2k]

ok so your saying that the blue orb can cool it or the 486 heat sink with the fan can cool it

[strokeside]

You'll need the stock tbird HSF mounted on it to cool the pelt+GPU enough to give you good temps and a better overclock.

sweet guys thanx im going to frys electronics to get the TEC and then home depot to get plastic washer for the heat sink

I would do a 60watt tec but 40watt might work as well

[wildbilly2k]

ok ill just get a 60 then
but i got a quick question i know my power supply can handle a peltier cause it is a 480w but should i just connect the peltier to the 5 volt line? or does it depend on the one i get

[Cheesy Peas]

gibe it as much voltage as it will take, it will probably be a 12v TEC, so hook it up to the 12v line of ur psu

good luck:D

you do need a cold plate.................... unless the peltier isnt larger than the chip itself...

[wildbilly2k]

cool thanx but guess what happened when i got to frys today
i saw some pc3200 corsair ram on sale along with the asus a7v8x

oops

[Warlord2]

haha cool

hey tell us how the mobo performs, Ive been looking at the one for awhile but I just saw p4 price cuts:eek: 2.5ghz for $220 and you can oc to 3.2ghz with just plane watercooling, cant wait to see what it will do with supercooling:eh?:
