OK a quick update~

I did finally get around to TEC cooling a Cpu. I have begun testing on a FX-6100 that has been de-lidded. And to say the least, the cpu doesn't exactly run cool under normal air, and I skipped using just a water block altogether.

In the picture above, I have the Cpu set up minus a water chiller loop. Imstead, I'm using a faucet tap to provide a little cooler water temp to the hot side of the TEC so that I can remove the heat properly enough without saying I had to use Ice or a chiller method (which hardly ever works) So I suppose you can say I cheated a tad. The tap water temps are around 45f deg, so not really cold, but at least cooler than a standard water loop.

I hope to have a few pictures later on today for you guys. I have a couple of screen shots as well.

So far.....

Clocks at 4ghz and 1.250v is a sweet spot. constant frozen cores except on a 6 core load. I think maximum temps got to 27c both cpu and core temps. They level'ed out while running WPrime 1024m back to back a couple of times.

While benchmarking (AquaMark or Pimod) single thread stuff, core temps stayed reported as 0c and the Cpu temp might have hit 10c give or take.

The plate between the TEC and Cpu is 1/16th inch thick 40mm x 45mm, so it's a little bigger than the TEC. I am using the GTZ water block as stated I purchased for this project.

Hopefully you guys get a kick from this like I do. keep you eye out for pictures later today, I just gotta get them off my camera and transported to a PC with some internet!

TTYL,
