NICE man cant wait to see it all up and running

What was the highest power TEC you used, and at what voltage were you running them?

Also, I'm personally not surprised, I doubt the hot side was being cooled enough to establish a nice delta between sides.

Lol, nice extra curricular use of the cigarette pack.

Yeah we always recommend other coolers like the xigmatek s1283/s1284.

I tried a 80 watt and a 120 watt with 12vDC. The 80watt was spec'ed at 16v and the 120 at 24v. The pelt that came with the V-10 was rated at 70watts at 21v. I wasn't expecting a miracle but I was expecting a couple of extra degrees in heat reduction. I was wrong

To get any real performance out of a tec you need to use a monster like the 400 watt 52x52mm tec popular with tec chillers. It needs some serious juice though... And the hot side really *needs* to be water cooled.

For a professional added touch, I'm installing black rubber u-channel and fan grommets for the 2x 120mm blow hole exhaust fans in the top panel

Heres the top panel and window panel finished.

Dont you think the fans would look better without the stickers??

I think he's planning on painting the fans.
