Sommige mensen koelen hun systeem met water, anderen voegen dan ook nog een peltierelement toe en weer anderen voegen gewoon 4 peltierelementen toe . Bij Hexus.com hebben ze het laatste gedaan, en daarmee een Celeron 400 naar 744MHz overgeclocked. Naast 4 60 Watt peltier elementen hebben ze ook nog een bak water gekoeld met ijs in de strijd geworpen om deze overclock mogelijk te maken:
The copper plate touches the cpu. It has 4 60watt peltiers, in a 2x2 fashion , 2 high, 2 wide, cooling the copper plate. Needless to say the copper plate becomes so cold it freezes in seconds. So what cools the 4x60watts + cpu heat ~ 60watts = 300 watts of heat ?? , after trying 2 different heat exchangers I found a drilled solid aluminum block , 25 mm thick to be the best by a country mile, some 10 C better than even a copper back plate connected to a aluminum water cooled heat sink .. see previous coolers for a shot of that exchanger.
[...] From this picture you can see the water cooler is connected to a 50 litre polystyrene water reservoir, the reason for this is the pure water cooler cannot cope with 300watts, it cannot hold 3 litres of water below 30 C while coping with that amount of heat. After some thought about possible solutions, the following was the cheapest . Use more water and therefore have that heat spread more , therefore lower water temperature. Inside the 50 litre chilli box I cycle 10 ice packs every 6 hrs. This maintains the water temperature below 5 C. which in turn maintains the Aluminum block at 10 C ! .
