I received my Bench Power Supply today for my 172w Peltier and was excited to get it all set up and ready to run...
I plugged it in and checked to see what side was the hotside and wrote it down... Then i placed my copper coldplate down over my CPU, and then sandwiched my pelt between the coldplate and my Maze2 Water Block...
Turned it on and fired up the PC....no POST...disaster struck. Apparently i wrote the hotside down wrong on my diagram... jeezus what an idiot mistake... i baked my CPU pretty quick this way.
Realizing my mistake, i decided to get my other proc from my spare rig....this time i would flip the Pelt so the cold side actually cooled the cold plate (brilliant concept, eh?) With the everything secured and sandiched i fired it back up to no avail. It didn't POST... I shut the PC down and left the water-cooling system run and the pelt... the coldplate quickly began to collect condensation so I know it was working properly. I tried it again...nothing...I was 0/2 or 2/2, depending on how you want to look at it. Needless to say I am thoroughly pissed, and at a loss as to what went wrong. The chip couldn't possibly have cooked that quickly, especially at its stock speed of 1ghz. Any Ideas?
