Is a 60W Peltier big enough to chill a P4?

RideGuy · May 14, 2003

I was downtown and found a 60W Peltier for $20CND. Is this big enough to help chill a 1.6A or a 2.4B to assist OCing? or do these P4s produce too much heat for this Peltier to keep up?

1 word NO

you need usually a peltier rated at twice th ethermal output of the CPU in queston. A P4 puts out about 70W. YOu would need a 192W pelt realistically

well, Lynx is right. I dunno about doubling the output, but you would defintly want higher. a 120 should be more than enough.

That 60 would be good for a video card...

Didn't mean to post it twice. I thought I posted in the wrong section.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
