**WATERCOOLING RESULTS!!**

See how far the duron can go with cooling like that. Keep going 'till you reach around 50c

I'd get really froggy with a tube of silicone on that socket if I were you. It takes just a little of that 'pure' condensate, mixed with some household dust, to start conducting electricity. If you put a fan blowing on the silicone, it'll form a 'skin' in about 2 hours. You could start using the computer then, or let it dry overnight.

I dont realy read the posts. Buffy's hot for an american.

Whats all this about square pegs and round holes?

30-35C LOAD, that odd,for WATERCOOL, is that usual.

my air cool TB750@900 will do high 30 LOAD. <--WARM room temp. and MY TB1.2@1350 aircool, OPEN room window will do mid 30C.

I thought water cool could get you to like 10-20C LOAD. is it a pain instaling the watercool system, i have no idea how it works, does it buzZZZzzz like a fish tank water pump thing?

I'm DEAD serious, 750@900 system

after about 3hrs of Counter-strike, the MBM5 temp is about 38C that in a CLOSE case, CASE open and LOAD temp is reading at 34C and room temperature about MID-HIGH 70F. say the MBM reading is off, ok +/_ 3C. lastime when this computer was in my room w/ case OFF, and window open it was doing 31C was HIGHEST i ever saw.

WHOLE different story with THE 1.2@1.35 ONLY with roomWindow open i'm able to achieve stablility @ 1.35Ghz. TEMP hehehehe, IDLE 28C <--NICE, LOAD 37C. these reading are of MBM5 on W2k. room window close, LOAD shoot up to MID 40C, my room is very stuffy and get really HOT. it get so hot that i itch sometime.

what i mean by LOAD is, AFTER several HOURS of either CS or stablility TEST. which take the CPU load to 100% as reported by W2k.

Its basically a square flat metal sheet (well, actually a bit more than that!). When connected to some power point, one of its side gets really hot while the other gets really cold (can go below freezing). Its not very efficient - takes a lot of power, and can be kinda dangerous.

You should make a search for it key word e.g. is Sen Fu

Alot of people are getting -20C -10C etc ,thats a fully working peltier, it is a semiconductor, not metal

invented by a guy called Peltier back 50's bla bla bla, search RS Catalogue, haha! it tells you everything.

I've used one before, but the peltier was defective and only got me 18C without heat load of CPU.

Anyway, inside the peltier are many diodes - i.e. semiconductors connected in parallel.

Thats why after some fail you can still use.... as long as one is still working, but you never get full potential, I'm sure you'll understand

I think my one had aluminium covers on both sides, thats why I said metal. As for the inner workings, I never felt curious, 'cos I wasn't too impressed with it.

Sorry to hear about that, wish it won't happen to you again.

I also fired a duron 650 before, but sort of intentionally!!! hehe, and the shop keeper after 30 minutes of honest chit chating said "OK, heres a new one, don't screw up again"

I was so glad! don't think I will be that lucky again.

Grizly I really think theres something wrong with your Peltier and that the water passing through is not enough! or either ONE only is not right! Anyway you know what to do.

Try to beat this and I'll call your Water Cooling PROPER!!!

Athlon 1000Mhz O/C to 1333Mhz using 133FSB, without increasing CPU voltage on a regular Global Win fan, 4000rpm and only 37C room temp 15C, windoes open.

That's ok i already have a 2nd PS for fans and stuff.

(It's now at 1020MHz at 32C full load).

ok so this thing is generating 48.8watts of heat........ hm........75 watt peltier should do the trick? or maybe an 83watt peltier???

Don't listen to wusy, you can't stack peliers like that! When peltiers are cascaded like that they need to be perfectly matched or else one will overheat. You can place them side-by-side though.

One important factor that escapes most people is that the peltier will only pull out its maximum rated power with no change in temp between the hot and cold side. So if a 75 watt peltier is given a 75 watt heat load the hot side and cold side will be the same temp. If you want to cool a 1.2Ghz Athlon effectively you need at least a 150 watt peliter.

Using peltiers correctly is complex. Here are some good links.
