over complicated thermoelectric cooler

[septic slayer]

 cpu's that run extremly hot/super overclocked

the basic idea is in this picture

 

feel free to let me know if it is worth it 

and if anyone is using a cooling setup similar to this

These are called phase change coolers and have been around for more than 20 years.

thanks alot for the help

 

i hate it when i think of something "new" then find out it existed for longer then i have

i feel so stupid just searched it on youtube and linus already did a video on it

This woudn't really be a phase change cooler, as everything is a liquid here.

 

BUt a peltier unit really won't be practical here due to the amount of heat cpus and gpus make now, and peltier units aren't efficent at all.

This is a phase change cooler. Phase change coolers have peltiers on the other side of the water loop thats why phase change coolers have super thick hoses with insulation (to limit condensation).

A phase change cooler works like a aircondictioner. The temperature difference is made by a refrigerant turning from a gas to a liquid and the pressure changes(normally). This is a peltier, and a peltier isn't a phase change cooler. A phase change cooler is much more efficent, and would work better here(but still power hungry, and loud)

this has been done before, but the issue here is that when you use a peltier, you hit some crazy heat outputs.

 

some math:

- let's say your cpu kicks out 150 watts

- the general rule of thumb is that your peltier has to be more powerful than what you're trying to cool

=> so let's say we need a 170 watt peltier.

==> you're now suddenly dealing with 320 watts instead of 150 watts

 

as a result.. you're going to need a massive radiator setup, which would probably come closer to room temp just plumbed directly into the cpu block.

 

so.. all in all, a peltier makes NO sense for cooling a cpu. a more sensible (if you can call it that..) solution to extreme cooling is the aircon thing linus has made several video's about: you tear apart a window aircon, put the cold side radiator in a bucket of antifreeze, and use that bucket in your watercooling loop.

thanks for the info

it is good i came here first before buying anything

If you want to go this route buy the Intel thermoelectric one. 

1. simpler

2. no cold loop -> condensation

3. sensor to avoid cooling the cpu below the point where condensation starts

thank you for the info

could you maby send me the link to the product or what i could search for to get to the cooler

Here is one of them https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantumx-delta-tec

 

But really you don't want this, they use a lot of power, and will only work under light loads, the cpu will run hotter under heavy loads.
