Do I fire up the peltier & cpu at the same time?
I am using a 226w 16amp @12v with seperate
12v 26amp capacity constant power supply.
I am guessing that the TEC will draw as much
amperage as it needs to offset cpu heat????
Can anyone explain just how this works?
I am using the Maze3-1 water block & 300gph pump
with the TEC!

Thanks
Kevin:eh?:
 
You can fire up everything at once or run your entire cooling system before the PC boots so the peltier can drop your core temps way down. The biggest concern is getting rid of all that heat. With your cpu and pelt you will be dealing with 350+ watts of heat. What are you using to cool your water?
 
I have Chevette heater core and Aqua Via 1300 3/8 tubing.
4 80mm fans in front of A/C vent ( ambient temp 58deg F )
should it try to limit the voltage and step it up in small
increment?????????????????

Thanks,
Kevin:confused:
