1.6a P4 & 80w TEC?

[Inteleron]

hows that sound? ..whats the watts this baby will be putting out would this cool it enough? ...thanks guys

1.6A puts out around 50-55W ? i think, correct me if im wrong.
it should b able to cool it sufficiently but u wont have much headroom for OC

 

[Silversinksam]

the 1.6a depending on the stepping puts out 38.0W(SL62S) -46.8W (SL668)

Here's the chart to determine all P4 Steppings and Thermal Design Power wattages

Here


(ps you were close LT. You must have been thinking about the Williamettes, as they are hot potatos

Regarding that TEC size, remember the wattages listed above are the default values......So you may want to consider a 120+watt TEC as that 80 may be to small once you start O/Cing and the wattage increases over the default values listed above

Hey this utility in this thread below is great to compute your Overclocked wattage

http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78907


For example, lets say you have the SL668 stepping at 46.8 watts and the default vcore is 1.5v

Lets just say you overclock the 1.6a to 2.1 with a conservative 1.65 vcore

Well your now running

74.23 watts......clearly that 80 watt TEC isnt going to cut the mustard

Thanks for the link Silversinksam. I find it fascinating that they released two cpu's of the same BO stepping with such a huge difference in thermal output. I got the hot one which leads me to wonder - what if I had the 38watt version? Also what are the highest overclocks of each stepping? Even though I got the hot SL668 version I can still get 2.5Ghz w/aircooling but heat keeps me from running it there daily.


This deserves a thread in the Intel cpu forum.

damn i guess i gotta get another tec soon... i have only a 72w & 80w... shucks

thanks though guys, lots of help

Both your teacs side by side under a waterblock should work though.

This deserves a thread in the Intel cpu forum.

You really don't need a thread, as more and more people contribute data to the CPU database, you can find out the answers you seek

 

[gone_fishin]

That's right! I forgot about this site having one, thanks for reminding me.

Edit.
Just been there and it seems too many people besides me have forgot about it too, I only found three entries on the 1.6A when sorted by S code. I'll be adding mine later and I hope others do also.

Since your looking around 70watts of heat, your suppose to get a peltier 2x the amount of heat your CPU puts out, so I guess you need a 156watt.
