Sub - Ambient cooler ideas.

[RankUpGamers]

I've been struggling to overclock and keep a happy temperature. I've changed out my thermal paste and made sure there is no dust in my h100i rad. I use a lot of hobby electronics, so I had the idea of hooking a peltier unit up to my rad, with a small heatsink connecting to the case. These peltiers use 5v to effectively "remove" heat from one side, and push it to the other. I figure i can drop the liquid temp by about 10*c to almost room temp, and get quite a bit more of overclocking out of that ten degrees. Anyone else tried this? I figure with this method. one could almost take both of the fans off, and just heatsink the hot side of the peltiers to the case, and the cold side directly on the fins. Anyone have any experiance with these units? I was wondering if it should work in theory.

I think keeping a peltier unit big enough to make a difference cool would be the bigger issue here. 

 

Introducing heat to a system designed to remove heat is somewhat counterproductive and you'd probably be better off just putting together an actual loop.

or Phase change cooling

- its only a 800+ euro

- its loud

- around -40°c

Well for $15 and 5v, I might just try this, and see how it goes.

Only 800 euro? ... I feel that having 50% of your original budget on Phase change is not very smart. Still will be considered though.

phase change is something awesome but its still overpriced because no one is pc crazy enough.

if every one starts buying them they could get mass produced en get cheaper

Evaporation cooler(bong cooler) or aquarium chiller in a water cooled loop would work, too.

If you are running up against the limit of an H100i already a Peltier isn't going to help for very long. Its not magic you are putting an extra 62W into the H100i If you are going to use a Peltier you need more rads than you would normally have
