I've used a 130W with an XP-120 before, couldn't get it to run at 130W, only around 70W because can't find a 15V supply for it.
No kidding. The real problem is A64's put out damn low heat on idle, even fans are not required on idle when using stock heatsink. Things get real interesting when you add a peltier-think sub zero as a possiblity (for the 320W peltier sold in CPU, motheboards section, I think sub zero for full load may even be possible, but watercooling required for the peltier's hot side).
But of course, that comes with a catch..remember what you see on a glass with an ice drink? I had to pull the plug before any damage was done.
wah sai..u din insulate ur board first ar x_x ....320w is crazy la too much ade...with air cooling = melt ur heatsink...and fan lol....unless ur using water cooling la
i see, but i got a shipment of 91.2w peltiers, specs are in my sig for sale thread =b
the calculations i have for my bros new 3800+x2 proc if i oc it to 3000ghz and 1.45vcore max
35*((3000/2000))*(1.45/1.25)square = 70w
So Actual Delta T
= (1 -(70/91.2)) x 67C
= (1 -0.767543) x 67C
= 15.574619C
15.5C is perfect condition (100% efficiency) but life not perfect mar so:
15.5C x 65% = 10.075c
assuming the artic cooler64 can maintain room temperature of 30c
30c-10c = 20c
is this correct ar?
still blur la me x_x....maybe i should get those 130w or more rated pelts? but they draw too much power la x_X
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, how much was the temp diff before and after ur pelt?
