Peltier has already had its day and failed for general use. It's just too power hungry and a major failure mode is to become a big hot plate instead of just becoming really poor cooling.

It was all the rage 12 years ago or so and was found wanting. Water was also all the rage, and it was found useful and safe enough that we now have plenty of commercial products instead of homebrew things.

They may get limited renewed interest, but it will never be mainstream.
 
I guess that would be my question, how much power is this thing guzzling down?

It's probably not going to embarrass a BD FX, but you are probably going to get better perf/watt out of a SB-E with a mild OC and a less exotic setup, given you have any sort of threading available.

Peltiers are 1:1 as a rule of thumb.

If you want to move 100W, you need to power it with 100W of your own and then have cooling capable of removing 200W off the hot side or it will start to become a hot plate.

At a high OC, I can see IVB using 130W (or more), that would make your CPU/Peltier draw 260W (or more).

Good to know, thanks!

I should probably read up on them more (I did in college as I remember doing the actual research and toying with idea of acquiring some gear, but plenty of time and beer between now and then has significantly fuzzied the details...) if they are about to make any sort or resurgence.

That seems too "expensive" to be really that useful. The difference in throughput between a IVB @ 4.5 ghz and 5 ghz is going to be ~10% or so, for double the power draw+?

TECs are the fvcking future. water is just too bulky, I got rid of all my old water stuff. Running air right now. BUT as soon as they start making reliable TECs, i'ma going to the boat.

If you looked at the picture properly, it is a TEC with a waterblock to cool the TEC. TEC on its own won't do much good. Not quite sure whether TEC is the future when we have heatsinks like CM V10 that uses a TEC hybrid but it isn't the best air cooled heatsink.

It's more than double the power draw because between 4.5 and 5 you're going to have a massive power increase in the CPU (how much? I don't know, but a non-trivial amount), and then you double that.
 
Yep, I didn't have any numbers handy either, hence the "draw+" - so I see your point and agree. I think the increase in power usage is something like 25% for that ~12% increase in clock speed.

Seems just a little nutty to me if its being considered for everyday usage.

But I am all for others pushing the envelope if that gets me cooler toys are more "commodity" prices (like water cooling these days...)

any one have any Ideas about the new Thermaltak liquid Coolers looks like the corsiar hydro series .... !!

It IS like the Corsair Hydro series, made by Asetek. At the very least Corsair made an adjustment to the H80 and H100 block, which is easier to mount.

I'm getting a little bit turned off by AIO package liquid cooling and the recent one is the Armageddon Gigafreeze which is nothing more a rebadged XSPC Rasa RS240 kit, comes complete with their branding all over the reservoir and block. The best part is that they claimed that it is their own tech. :colbert:
