Scout, the main reason I went for the MC-1000 was because it could be used on many different cpu's, the idea to mod it came after I'd already ordered it :P

One of the other mods I'm considering is to put it on the cpu, remove the fans and cool the heatsink with water so to remove the heat from the case while still getting full cooling power from it

This method will need much more attention to condensation control but will also have better yields

With the proper waterblock you could also mod it to any cpu, but i guess since you came up with the idea after ordering, its makes more sense
also, i meant to say 20-30
you can get them http://www.overclockershideout.com/peltier.html
or (when it gets back up) www.tedist.com

That's what I thought.

I found some being sold by www.MPJA.com
70w pelt 127 junction 1 11/16" x 1 9/16" x 1/8" it's ~170 BTU and draws 6 amp@12vdc for $17.95

They also have two others one the same size (but a little thinner) that draws 5.4 amp@12vdc and is rated for 50watts for $14.95

Lastly the smallest is 1 3/16" x 1 3/16" x .13" draws 3 amp@12vdc and is rated at 38 watts for $11.95

A little story about a favor that goes a long ways!

After receiving the MC-1000, I realized that I had ordered the wrong gasket kit

I proceeded to send Gabriel, the owner, an e-mail asking what I needed to do (or buy) to rectify the problem

His e-mail response back to me was that he would send me the replacement pieces to convert it to my specific cpu FOR FREE!

whether he would do this for everyone that screws up in ordering is unknown, but the fact that he would do it for even one person (me ) shows me that he is a very fair business man and I would highly recommend him and his stuff without hesitation, period!

btw, the MC-1000 is one helovah piece of work, nothing about it says "cheap", I can't wait to get the sucker fired up, of course, I'll need to wait for the new parts before proceeding, my bad

You can get a 20$ brand new 70 watt pelter at www.2cooltek.com

Say Jim, you might want to check how this guy got his 550E to 925MHz

Hmmm,
I'm wondering how he got the fsb so high with just the basic "greenie" heatsink on the bx chipset and only had a temp of 23c
any thoughts?
jim

[Jorden]

Maybe it's the temperature of his water?

At the moment, I have no extra cooling (no peltiers etc.) - I just put the water and pump outside my window, and it is cold down here.

That and the core voltage of 1.8V he's using.

Also, who knows, he could be useing an alpha heatsink with a pelter on it to cool the bx, he doesn't seem to mention it....

[DuRaNgO[MU]]

Alrighty then!
All the parts have arrived, I decided to use silicone conformal coating instead of GE caulking
The replacement parts from Gabe@Swiftech came last week so tomorrow the unit gets assembled
See ya soon!

This calls for a Scotch and water to celebrate

I may need one if it goes defunk
then again, one before couldn't hurt either
jim

[ALBPM]

LOL...You'll do fine. One before would settle the nerves a bit. I'd be beside myself just looking at all those goodies your about to assemble

[Greebe]

Pauly, if you think that's alot of goodies then you would fall over and pass out if you came over here!
