testing peltier power

[rhino56]

i was running my pelt system checking for leaks and the molex connecter on my pelt got to like 50C after a while. if you run a pelt you may want to get a different connector, this is a small 80 watt pelt also.

Very Interesting

But 50C is a little high :roll:

More amps then it was designed for... You might need some higher gauge wire and connectors.

so i got it up and running on my award winning 9800 pro. WOOHOO!!
sits idle at around 14C i just ran 3dmark for a score of 6479 at all stock no tweaks whatsoever.
the temp didnt go over 20c the whole test
im really glad to finally have this up and running.
hit 460 core artifact free at 27C

50c on a molex is higher than I like. I would dump the connector and directly solder the leads.

well i cant do that because id like to be able to disconnect them once in a while.
but im gonna go with a thicker wire like a deans wire and deans connectors.
next im gonna hook up my chiller to this thing and see what kind of oc i can get from this card.
