Peltier question, real quick...

[Balael]

I was looking to buy a peltier kit, just for fun, and I was wondering where i can get one that'll fit a duron,kt7raid setup.

one thing though, i know they have some serious peltier's, but i was wondering if i could use a lower end peltier, i'm not sure the wattage's, but maybe 30w? and still use my fop38 as cooling instead of going to a water cooled system, which i don't want to do at this point. My duron is running 1050, right now, with 105x10, idle at around 39-41, depending on room temp. But i'm just looking to have a little fun, and see how far I can push it. Any helps appreciated. Thank you.


My rig, Seventh Circle.

im no expert on pelters, but i do belive i read an expert explaintion of the deal witch i will try to recap. it is nessecary to have a 72w pelter, that fop-38, and a big or second powersuply to make a pelter on a t-bird worth your while, any less than a 72w and heat will just build up under it. from what i understand, a t-bird can put out nearly 50w of heat and the way it was explaind was that pelters are rated at 15v and a ps gives it about 12v. so a 72w pelter will cool 57w of heat with a 12v powersuply should give you some room to up the voltage a bit higher than normal. as for how far you'll get it depends on the procesor, is more voltage helping now or do you get your max overclock at around default? if yes, you'll probably get a bit more, if no you might be able to push it over with enough votage. possably, you'll gain absoultly nothing but the experiance of useing a pelter. or mebey you'll get past 1.4ghz with a motherboard that can take the fsb. just be carefull not to get condensation in the wrong spot
