Posible to mount a TEC on a WW block?

[Drizzit]

first of... hope I got this at the right place?

Got a setup with the ww alu toped block and I'm thinking to get a 226W TEC for it..... so my question is is it posible to mount it with a coldplate and if so how do I do it?

I know I need alot of pressure between the coldplate and the block so how do I mount it and have room to mount it on the mb as the block only got 4 holes?

Thanx in andvance for any help...:)

although it's possible to do, it' highly not recommended. The WW block is not designed to cool large areas such as a TEC. There are many better waterblocks for TEC use.

ok... thanx for the reply....

any recomendations on a good block to get for a TEC then thats easy to mount the TEC on?

[NeoMoses]

try www.dangerden.com the Maze3-1 is a fine block for pelt use, as I've heard. I also think some swiftech blocks work well for pelts.

ok.... will look it up....

any thoughts on the Swiftech MCW462-UHT 226W 1/2 block?
easiest there is as its pre mounted but is it any good?

I would say get the MCW462-UHT as soon as I can I'll be getting my gaskets to go back to mine. With my old Pally 1900 at 1920MHz with 1.85Vcore I had a idle temp of 9C and a load temp of 13C.

You might check out the SlitEdge which BillA reviewed HERE. (http://www.overclockers.com/articles748/) It has pretty good performance and should do nicely with a TEC too. There was a post here a few days ago regarding the quality of the anodizing, you should check into that first probably, I'm not sure what conclusions they came up with. Neo can prolly point ya to that thread.

peace.

Edit: They seem to think its just the dye came out of the anodizing, if thats the case only other question would be if 2.4"x2" base is big enough for the pelt you are wanting. Here's the thread on the block. (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=237804&highlight=slit)
