x2-6000+ ships with factor Peltier/Phase change cooler

The stock cooler of the x2-6000+ is pretty must the same size as standard AMD factory coolers, but the x2-6000 is actually a small peltier/phase change unit. The contact plate has a rather large chunk of copper, and there are extra fins on the side of the fan for more cooling.

Cute little cooler actually

Pics? I'm curious.

I'm a big TEC fan (pun pun) and I've been waiting for a compact, effective unit. Any links or further info?

This+this+this=awesome TEC.

Heat sourceHoly S**t. That's one big@ss TEC. 8O 350w

You forgot this in your equation:

Ultra 2000w PSU

Crazy stuff.

I know, that thing is huge. Standard cpu tec are just a little bigger than the cpu. This one is the size of a palm. Looks like it could interfere with the sock mounts.

Then pry the retention bracket off the socket, and mix a little super glue in with the tim.

@1Tanker: Just get another TEC to cool the hot side of the first one. And use phase to cool the hot side of the one cooling the hot side of the other one.

Im looking at Mouser right now for TECs, but there's just soooooooo much awesome stuff, im getting side tracked.

Wait, I just realized it's 3 AM, dont you people sleep?

You have to remember that your cooling setup..be it air/water, has to cool the TEC power(350w) and also the CPU's power(~100w for a fast C2D), which means you need to dissipate 450w of heat. That's a lot of heat.

The other problem with that 350w TEC module, is that it's something like 62mmx62mm(most are no bigger than 50mmx50mm), which is bigger than the IHS and probably bigger than the heatsinks base. I'm not sure what would happen if some hung over, but i have a feeling it could get ugly...fast. Correct me if i'm wrong. I've wanted a TEC setup for a few years now, but having to get a seperate PSU(Meanwell seems to be the preferred one), and the associated electricity bill kind of quells my desire. :x

Yeah, 62mm^2 base couldn't be cooled by any normal water block, which are 50mm^2. You have to find a specially made water block and the only water block I know of that has a base large enough to cool an entire 62mm^2 tec is the Arctic Web Cooler (see post above for link).

Honestly, the power requirements wouldn't cause your bill to go up that much. I have added 2 more computers to my network at home (don't ask, lol) and the power bill went up maybe $7-10 (estimate). It does translate to $120/year... but then you also get to say you run a TEC and flash your huge e-penis around LOL.

Just kidding... I want a TEC setup... money is what is holding back this poor college student.

Yeah... lets just build a specially designed refrigerator for the computer and eliminate these problems....

at the rate that amd chip prices are falling you need to change the post title:

"amd 6000+ ships free with phase cooler" or

"New amd phase cooler includes free amd 6000+ sample chip"

He saw the movie 300 and decided to join the bigger camp.

AMD horde >>>>>> hardcore Intel fanatics, no matter how hard they try, they are massively outnumbered.

Hey, Vorlon, care to update this thread and provide some links/pics? I really doubt it ships with such a cooler but weirder things have happened I guess... :?

No its not a tec/phase cooler its a amd or should I say foxconn heat pipe cooler with a copper base plate. The product number on the side is foxconn 2ZR71-086. It's the same heat sink that comes with the fx62.

LOL, glad we got that sorted. Took us long enough...
