Well guys thanks for all the help. I wasn't able to get the temps to read any lower, but when I took the block off it didn't look like I had good contact. Feeling adverturous, we decided to hook the peltier up. Idle temp 800@1008(112x9.0) 6-10C. WOW! Lets see how it looks under full load. It jumped up to only 32C pretty quick.... then slowly.. slowly made its way to 40C... That seems like a pretty big difference..? Heres the system stats again:
DD Maze2-1
156W Peltier on 300W AT PSU
DD Cube Radiator w/ Panaflo 120mm (70cfm) pulling & 2x80mm (35cfm ea) pushing
Danner 700gph
Arctic Silver I on CPU and Radio Shack goop on pelt
My first guess was that there wasn't enough air going through the radiator, so I took one of those rotating floor fans and pointed in the radiator.. didn't help. The peltier should be getting pretty good power off that 300W PSU (its a quality PSU) granted that its getting a little less voltage (rated 14V). I read once that a peltier should be double the heat your CPU is giving off (61W radiate)...?
Thanks for any help with part 2 of my problem!
