I need some advice from the experienced and/or comments on if I should keep this cooling setup.
My question is I have a custom TEC cooling setup but I'm wondering if I should just scrap it and go all air? I want to avoid water cooling if at all possible. If you recommend to scrap it, what air cooler do you recommend?
What do you think? Scrap or keep?
The cooler is based off an Ultra Chilltec with an upgraded 168 watt pelt. The pelt runs at 12v. The temperatures are well (see below), but I'm wondering if a nice air setup will be just as effective. The IDLE temps are ok but the load temps aren't that great. Below are some pics... Any comments/suggestions appreciated! Keep in mind that I have to pump at least 1.6v into the CPU to keep things 100% stable.
The cooler:
2 80MM Antec intake fans (front CPU and right side TEC+CPU) + 1 120mm Antec Exhaust fan (TEC side). All fans set to high.
Idle Temps
Load Temps
