I've been working on my peltier system for a few weeks now, and finally got it setup last weekend. I'm still trying to find the "sweet spot" on the cpu, but went ahead and took some pictures yesterday.

System Specs:
Epox 8RDA+
AXP 1600+ AROIA
Corsair 3200XMS
GF3 TI500

Cooling Specs:
Swiftech MCW462-UHT (226W 12v pelt)
350Watt 12v/24a dedicated psu
Eheim 1250
Black Ice Xtreme Radiator

Depending on the Speed/Voltage, my idle temps range from 15C to 20C, and my load temps range from 25C to 30C.

My water temperatures can get pretty warm after a while, but I have another radiator on the way. I am considering mounting it in the plexiglass housing for consistency, or in the top of the computer for ease of install.

very nice setup you have there. What kind of an oc you getting on the 1600+? You should really get one of the new 2100+ 's for that system!

I can run 2400+ until my water temp reaches ~100F (a few hours of Prime95). The second radiator should be going in this weekend, which "hopefully" will keep my water temps closer to room temperature. The cpu will boot at 2600+ speeds, so with enough voltage I'm hoping that speed is possible.

I may put a faster cpu in, but this was mostly just to tinker with. I figured if something didn't work, I could lose the cost of a 1600+ easier than that of a 2100+ or higher.

Looks great except that what you have is not a Peltier cooler. It is a liquid cooler. :)

I had thought about one, but was originally going to try to make this thing lan-able. Its more then I would want to move now anyway, so a bong may have been a better idea :(

The second radiator went in rather easily. I've mounted it in the top of the computer case. I can either drop my temps by as much as 5C, or keep the same temps with alot less noise :)

I've been burning the cpu in at 1950mhz for the last few hours. 2000mhz is possible, but takes much more voltage. I'll save that for a rainy day.
