50W peltier... how does it performs?

[SickBoy]

On a Pentium 233? Just fine. For a TBird? Forget it, you're better off just aircooling. The rule of thumb is that your pelt should be double the watt rating of your CPU. There's a tool called Radiate (available from the frontpage) that can help you figure out your CPU's watt rating.

With Senfu Water cooling system!

[The Overclocker]

the new processors generate more heat then 50Watts, it will probaby be worse

[!!tio!!]

so Senfu water cool without 50W Peltier is better than one with a 50 W peltier?

[cowanrg]

most likely... you will probably burn out the pelt becuase the waterblock will be doing all the work. then the cold side will just get warm, and really wont do anything... if you are gonna do pelts, dont go with such a LOW wattage. that is almost nothing. you need at least a 70-80-watt. (AT LEAST). probably more.

[The Overclocker]

get the water cooling running reallly well beforce you even consider pelters

OK.... should I get a 50W peltier for my AMD Athlon then?

No,
It WILL NOT be worth it!

You will need a bigger peltier than 50W for an athlon!

- A 1000Mhz Athlon uses about a min. of 50Watts!
Using a 50W peltier will just cause the CPU to run hotter
than without a peltier.

you need atleast 120+watt peltier to cool a AMD

hell I think 50watt is too light for even a video card but would be good maybe for a chipset

50WATTS?
The 55Watt Peltiers would be perfect,
for a video cards GPU!

[Warlord2]

I would go 75watt myself:D and thin do a voltage mod and really do some overclocking
