Potted= potentiometer on it (or place it yourself) so you can change the current (volts). The more volt (until you reach the max) the more colder it will be. But keep in mind that you must be able to remove the generated heat from the peltier correct, otherwise you gonna heat up the "cold" side slowly.

So that why i'm looking now for heatsinks etc...
Who nows where you can find large heatsinks? Or maybe a link to a site to build it myself?

a Thermalright SP-94 could keep my 172Watt pelt running for 10min

build large heatsinks?

well, if would think that if you intend to use a pelt, you would eather need a watercooling setup, or an insane heatsink/fan combo.

I also don't think that whatever heatsink you make yourself will be able to compete with what's on the market.

If you're looking for the best heatsinks: Thermalright sp-94 (P4) sp-97 (Axp) xp-120 (P4 & A64) and an unbearably loud fan; the price to pay for high CFM

So for fans, Delta and Vantec tornados come to mind, you used to be able to buy them both here: http://store.over-clock.com/Case_Fans.html but I see they don't offer the vantec tornado gamma anymore.

they also have pelts and pelt related stuff but certainly not as cheap as from the people you intend to buy from: http://store.over-clock.com/Peltiers___Accessories.html

*edit*
I knew when you explained potted that that wasn't what I read but I found the explanation again:

Watercooling no problem, I allready got a performant cooling now.
Like you say(and I now from my tests) the heat generated by those pelts is amazing, so i think I'm going to build another watercooling (separate) for cooling that pelt down. But its all in the designing stage, so time enough to talk about it.

Potted: sealed on the sides with silicone (water/condensation prooved). Are not al peltiers "potted/sealed"?
Otherwise it can be dangerous. Condensation inside/short circuit?

you're probably right but I know almost nothing of pelts so when someone who knows more of this then me says you need to get "potted" pelts, I take it to heart.

i have some experience with pelts too, i know it heats your water up more then you think. but if you have good block's and a good rad that shouldn't be a problem. feel free to ask some more questions

@Jort,

I was thinking to use a different radiator, only to cool the peltiers hot side, this also with a custom copper watercoolingblock (Same size pelt 50*50mm)
What's your opinion ?

Other parts (cpu/gpu/maybe NB 2 ) are allready H2o cooled

jort · 7th November 2004, 00:40

thats a very good idea, how do you going to make those custum made blocks?

but i don't see the idea of you.
you have your cpu, gfx, "nb" already wc cooled.
where you planning to put the tec's on? cpu? gfx?
so you can use the original blocks to cool the tec's.
or you like too use some other blocks too cool the tecs?

you can add me @ msn, if you have more questions(jortcollijn42@hotmail.com)
i rather like too talk in dutch

jort · 7th November 2004, 00:44

btw:
not all tec's are insulated. but if you insulate well you won't have short-circuit.

I sended you an e-mail with my msn-hotmailadres, couldn't find your's in profile
