Danger Den to stock 220 watt pelts!

[Colin]

The word from Dano is next week. Cool!

I was too antsy to get mine so I ordered 1 from tekheads about 3 months ago. They are some wicked pelts, I can tell you. Had the project running for a couple of days but one mourning when I turned things on, I forgot to turn on the waterpump (stupid me). It took less than 20 seconds to damage the acrylic top on my spiral and bowed the bottom of teh w/b. I modified a maze2 cold to get a secure mount for the pelt.

I knew I would find some familiar oc friends here. I do like this forum, and recently became a member with the seti team, not to mention the great techs that frequent this forum

Hey Colin just to let you know I finally found a good psu and a 220 watt peltier. I'm getting an astron 50 amp (36 const) so I don't think I'll have any problems. The only thing I don't like is the weight of the astron. Its a 45 pund chunk of metal. I cant wait to give this setup a try.

Sounds like that psu will work good for ya. I got a smaller psu that is suposedly rated at 32amps cont. but my 220watt pelt can cause my psu to overheat which shuts down. Not really a problem I just added another fan just above heatsink for the transformer.

Hey racecar12 I was also thinking of adding a fan but I don't think it will need it. What are your system specs and what are your temps like with the 220?

Before accident, my test system was a 600duron@1000Mhz with 1.85vcore and full load temps were between 7-9c. What are you planing on cooling with your pelt?

racecar12 - I agree there is a pretty good crowd here. Overclockers was the first forum I found and still is my home.

Bender - You are welcome to my Aston. I have defected to non-overclocked watercooled Xeons.

I think this is a good fit for my Athlon XP1800. My P4 is in a Micro ATX case so that kills the idea of portable if you stick on a 45 pound Astron PSU. For the P4 I want to run a 156 watt peltier off the computers PSU. I will probably upgrade it to a 510 antec before I do anything since it has a 30 amp 12v line. The 156 watt peltier should only be taking 13-14 amps so I will be fine.

Colin I just noticed we have almos the exact amount of posts and you joined on the exact same day as I did. You must have also been around when we had the old old forums before Dec 2000.

Picked the same one up myself. Should be at the door tommorow. Got a 226 to go with it though I will have to wait on Swiftech to ship it. The Psu looks real good and am looking forward to getting it.
