Went from a 226 to 156 pelt and...

My temps have never been better. I have two heatercores , shroads , 120's. Im using the Becooling PSU.

I dont know - it seems crazy. I can run 2300 Mhz @ 1.7v @ -5C idle 5 C load.

I can also run 2524 Mhz @ 1.85 @ 10C idle and 14 C load.

This is after running for a good 2-3 hours too. Franky Im shocked. I would have never thought to try this either if the 226 pelt wire handn't have broken off.

Just incase someone else out there is stumped .

probably with 226w you had hotter water and the swiftech isn't a so great waterblock to manage tec...

with a waterchiller or with the same water temp with the 2 tec you will have better results with 226w, but in your case seems that 175w is more balanced for your system

i'm happy with my 226W peltier@10v.
