I've bought a CoolIt Boreas Mtech Chiller one month ago and it gave me lot of idea for a home made project. It prooved that TECs have great performances (30°C on a Q6600 B3 oc @ 3.4 Ghz when the liquid temp is set to 30°C!) I would like to try to make my own.
It sounds like a good project to me, I just need to get some more money.
I've drawn my idea. 12 136W peltiers would be colling a copper plate where water would flow. The hot side would be cooled by big aluminum radiators with about 220cfm of air flow. I would take fours fans, two intakes from the outside and two exhaust for the hot air. The windows would be made of polycarbonate and allow mounting 8 fans (4 for the boreas and 4 for the new tec system) I've found the right power supply for these tecs. Using a computer power supply for the Boreas doesn't leave it a great performance because there aren't enought amperes for each peltier. I'll be using two 12v 20a for 12 peltiers, so that each will get about 6.6A, peak is 9A, so it's about 80% of its maximum.
Here are pics of my chiller with and without the box
Would some people be interested in having one or two if it end up well? It would cost me less to make more at the same time.
