The catch is, the peltier will make the CPU below room temperature (I can't remember, but I think it is 26*C difference.) thus you get condensation forming which equals, bye bye CPU/motherboard.
You also need to purchase watercooling and to have a dedicated PSU for it really.
Visit xtremesystems for more info about it. There is very few people who know anything about this here. And I don't believe anyone has tried it.
There's different categories I believe. There should be one for Socket A boards as we're using an XP-M to bench with. Naturally latest CPU and latest GPU will produce greater resultswhat setup are you going to use for the 3dm01 setup?
you have:
74353.00 - Conroe E6700 @ 4308, ATI X1900XTX CF @ 792/891
to beat.
Pretty efficient. Sub-zero temps and I think a 5lb block will last something like 8 hours. Plenty of time for some suicide benchingbut i'm not sure how efficient it is in cooling
Phase change is more expensive. It's like running a refridgerator with it's door open.The catch to pelts is that they are expensive to get setup
Well, as I said, since I don't have experience with dry ice, and haven't really looked it up, I'm not sure what temps people are reaching at full load temps. Checking on some now, but I could always ask my friends friend as well.And there is no way DICE temps can creep up to 0C. As long as your not using water, remember use 100% Acetone as it has a low freezing point.
i think i remember reading a thread by Cathar (designer of the storm water block) on OCAU where he was experimenting with using a peltier to cool liquid in a water loop rather than using the waterblock to cool a peltier and the system sat around -1 or -2 degrees.
