The goal of version 3.0 was simply to make a better cooling solution than what I was already running with version 2.0, and that goal has been realized!
Version 3.0 uses 1/2 the electrical power that 2.0 did when all 3 TEC assemblies were powered up.
Version 2.0 with all 3 TECs powered pulled 600w at 60a, version 3.0 pulls 300w at 24a.
Version 2.0 took 25 minutes from cold boot to reach the set 8.9c cutout point of the temperature controller, 3.0 takes 6 minutes and 15 seconds.
Version 3.0 is so quiet operating I had to keep checking to see if it was running.
Version 3.0 exhausts a lot less heat into the room.
Version 3.0 can support the 7700K overclocked to 5.2ghz with hyper threading enabled running Intel Burn Test and still lower the coolant temperature while the test is running all the way down to the cut out point at 8.9c.
Version 3.0 uses approximately 1/6th of the coolant volume that version 2.0 did.
Electrical load during surfing the net 2.0 used 400w constantly, 3.0 uses 100w with the 2nd 100w TEC kicking in occasionally for about a minute or so.
Version 1.0 and 2.0 both used a 2nd power supply to power the chilled water cooling, version 3.0 uses only one power supply to power everything.
Plus the chilled water cooling of version 3.0 is all in one case not 2 separate cases.
3.0 is definitely a better chilled water cooling solution.
