    For who read this: always check if your idea exist, and how. I'm watching this video after asking me "peltiers works for cpu cooling?"
    Thanks for the information!

    Can't wait for you to OC the heck out of the new Zen 3 CPUs. 😄 I'd love to see also the gains after memory tuning.

      Hehe, that fan in the background :) .
      I have always wondered if it's worth running a peltier, and instead of giving it power, create power from it. Having the CPU side as hot, and the cooler as cold side with the peltier connected to the fan. The hotter the chip gets, the faster the fan runs. ( Similar to stove fans)

    Peltiers become real interesting when you have free power, like from solar. You could play around and figure something nice system out.
    I'm definitely getting something solar going, when I move to my new dungeon.

      Or you could use the heat generated from the peltier to generated energy and recycle energy

    The problem with TECs is how inefficient they are.
    If you have a TEC rated 300w, it usually consumes close to 400w, and you will end up with 400w+input heat on the hot side.
    If that huge increase in heat and energy consumption is not bad enough, if your input heat is 300w, on a 300w TEC, your dT is zero... But your output and consumption is still huge.
    This means your TEC capacity needs to be at least 50% higher than the input power to even make sense.
    Back in 2004 i was toying around with TECs on an Athlon XP 1700+, i had a 325w TEC on a little ~150-180w cpu when extremely overclocked (i think it was good for 2.55ghz, it was good for -15C under load. The watercooler i was using to cool it was dealing with about 500w of heat... Almost 3x the original input.
    I switched to phase change after that. My little 1/4+ compressor consumed under 125w while the CPU runned 2.8ghz at -48C.

    Did you try the 500W Pelier ?
    I've just ordered the Cooler Master Cryo cooler ML 360 . That has a 200W Peltier in it , making the cooler inefficient for overclocked CPU's which will draw more than 200W power.
    I will try to replace the Peltier with a 400W one to see if I can do all cores OC on a i-10900KF. (by the way where did you find a 500W Peltier?)
    So ,I am curious if a over 400W peltier can do a good job for cooling big overclocked CPU's ....

  • @pierpaolodesantis2143
    @pierpaolodesantis2143 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It should be interesting to use the peltier to cool the liquid within a custom loop, lowering the temperature of the liquid. In theory it should work. If we constantly pump for example 8-10 degrees of cold water directly into the water block, instead of ambient water it should have a constant delta of 10 °. It sure isn't linear. But maybe it should be worth it. using a smaller peltier and an air cooler for the hot side and a wb for the cold side. such a video could be interesting

  • @chapstickbomber
    @chapstickbomber 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You need that more powerful TEC solution in order to sustain a good delta at a higher power.
    Also, if the goal is nT performance, then yeah this is a terrible solution haha. But for gaming? Lower power for that use means better delta means bigger thermal advantage means higher boost means higher framerate.

    • @HardwareNumb3rs
      @HardwareNumb3rs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But at the end with 500W I can run a single stage phase change (-50° under load) and play at much higher clock 😁 one day I’ll try to build a micro phase change, maybe it works 🤔

    What if I wanted to utilize a TEC cooler for a super-compact ITX build but NOT overclock my CPU and I accepted the power requirements. Say, I was able to fit a substantial PSU as well. Could I do it without instability and with success? If not, what problems could you foresee?

  • @jec_ecart

    Why don't you try using peltier to cool the case air rather than direct CPU.

    • @HardwareNumb3rs
      @HardwareNumb3rs  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That would be very ineffective, the chain of elements would be too long and the efficiency will be poor, probably the gain will be imperceptible

    Small phase change system consumes only less than 60 watt and can transfer much more heat from the block. Peltiers won't work.

    • @HardwareNumb3rs
      @HardwareNumb3rs  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Let’s try 😁 TEC can bring the temperature below ambient, but to make it so you need a very big one, and to cool the hot side you need a massive waterblock designed for a TEC, plus the power consumption is very high, so is not efficient at all, plus the risk of condensation forming is dangerous to the components. If you want a high performance cooler that can go below ambient or sub zero, is much better a phase change unit
