I heard that one ultra tec cooler was really good.

Ultra ChillTec Socket 939775AM2 Thermal Electric CPU Cooler ULT33186 at TigerDirect.com

$100 isn't worth it. If you are spending that much on air cooling you need to consider going water'

and our old member jseber had a 4.7ghz daily qx6700 B3.. friggin b3!!! phase works wonders

and ultras tec cooler is a air tec cooler... i am speaking of water tec coolers... they keep you a good amount below ambient... i've seen some people with 17c on tec coolers.. amazing stuff... but incredibly risky

Yeah the ultra tec slightly outperforms the HDT S-1283. Hmm not worth it, id rather get the core contact for less tha half the price.

tecs are graet no doubt they, though they waste a large amount of electricity to cool... i was considering a tec for my watercooling loop.. but after reading the horror stories... no thanks!!!!

if they make a small compact phase unit... i will consider one.. because i don't want the loudness... because my cpu were to sit at 10c idle... i wouldnt care.. its much better than water!

is there any way you can put the part that stores the water in a WC loop in a mini refrigerator? that would be amazing and the temps would be well theoretically they should be.

 

[ricanflow]

condensation is the problem there.

what i would do is just get the ambient temp of the room as low as possible, without freezing your butt off.

 

[gurusan]

mini fridges can't deal with constant heat loads. You would just be using tons of power and still be getting temps well above ambient

 

[lukas]

ahh so i thought wrong, thanks for the info
