TEC cooling for sale!
OK all you folks that really want to see what your new 6800 or X800 vid cards can really do, I have a little something for sale here that will get the most performance you can out of your brand new shiny 6800 or X800.:D
I am selling a 300 watt Meanwell 24v psu and a 172/24v watt Drift 0.8 Tedist peltier element, along with a ventilated enclosure and a cold plate and mount from a DangerDen Maze1C-1 cpu waterblock.
The power supply is a Meanwell SP-300-24 and you can read the specs on it at the link. It has ample power for the 172 watt pelt and the output voltage is adjustable 10% higher or lower. The psu also has a thermostat controlled internal fan to keep things nice and cool. New it sells for $188.00. BTW, the link is to the company I bought the psu from.
The peltier element is a new 172 watt potted Drift 0.8 peltier element and has never been used. I originally bought it to replace a 120 watt peltier element that had burned a lead when I was using this setup to supercool a P3S 1.26 and running it at over 1700 MHz. When the lead burned, I took the P3 setup out of the case and replaced it with an A7M266-D dual AMD board and dropped the peltier out of the system. The cold plate also came from the Maze1C-1 waterblock, which is still in use on the Asus dually. This peltier element is also powerful enough to cool a high end A64, P4 or mobile XP with no problems. Here is a link to the peltier element. It is the last element on that page and sells for $36.50.
The enclosure for the psu is an electrical box I bought from an electrical supply house and I modded it and mounted 2-80mm Panaflo L1A 12v fans in to ensure good airflow for the TEC psu. This was originally mounted on top of my Antec SX1240 case and it is the same width as the Antec/Chieftec cases like it and the SX1040 and SX630 series of cases. It can also be remotely mounted but you will need to replace the 12v fans with some 24v models so that you don't need to run 12v wires to the psu. Alternately, I imagine that you could also wire the fans in series so that you could use them directly off the psu output connectors. I also have a 24v led light to use as a power indicator for it, but I never got around to mounting it on the case as I had taken it out of service and never did use it again. It also comes with the deal.
The cold plate is from my Maze1C-1 waterblock, but could probably be modded to use with with a gpu water block for some fine gpu supercooling. The hold down plate is for a Maze1C to adapt it to either socket A or socket 478, using the 4 holes around the socket (the Maze1C series normally use the mounting lugs to mount the waterblock). This might also be able to be modded for a gpu hold down plate, but I'm just taking a guess there.
Be aware that I suggest the use of Arctic Silver Ceramique or Arctic Alumina instead of AS5 because the reason the original 120watt pelt fried was silver plating out on the pelt causing current flow from the leads. This silver plating action was caused by the temp extremes combined with the tight clamping force needed between waterblock and cold plate for efficient temperature conduction. You shouldn't have any plating problems with Alumina or ceramique.
EDIT: I'm also adding the Maze1C's that I was using to watercool my AMD dually rig to this deal too. One is a regular Maze1C that will work on any socket 462 mobo as it uses the clips on the socket. The other is the Maze1C-1 waterblock that is for the cold plate above. This last waterblock is drilled and tapped for mounting the TEC and cold plate on it. It was originally designed to mount using the socket tabs with longer hooks than the regular wire hooks; I'm also throwing in a Maze1C mounting bracket that uses the holes around the socket. This mounting bracket will also let you use this waterblock on a socket 478 P4 system as it is drilled for both socket 462 and socket 478 mounting holes. I had thought about using this on my IC7-G machine when I had bought the adapter bracket along with the TEC'ed Maze1C-1, but I decided that I didn't want to deal with the extra heat dumped into my computer room (and couldn't afford to deal with the heat either). I'll post some pics of the waterblocks next week when I get in from the rig, since I don't have any pics of them here at work.

Oh, and bump!
This is just what is needed for a little TEC action on either socket 462 or Intel socket 478. Please read the initial post for the additions.
Selling price now for the whole shebang is $110 shipped.
And a bump up.
