This seems qiute odd...
As far as I can comprehend, the implementation of the peltier element must be wrong.... have you guys tried to take it out, reasemble it under the heatzink? It wont do much good where it is at present....

no the orientation is right. The whole point really is to get a bit of a cooling advantage and a fail-safe. If the peltier were to fail then the 2 heatpipes underneath would still be able to kcik into action and work. Also conducting some of the coolness of the peltier onto the fins to cool the hot side makes it less efficient but the main point was the fail safe. What I'm wondering is you should try it on a conroe. TEC's don't work too well on very hot things. For example the There is a formula for Delta T. This is taken from Xtremesystems. If the cooler were used on a cooler cpu and the condensation-fail safe turned off I think it'd work much better... Of course the whole point is to use TEC's on hotter cpu's that are over-volted...

Delta T = (1 - (Heat Load/Max Cooling Power)) * Max Temp Difference

As you can see if the Max cooling power of the TEC is less than the heat load then it would really be more of an insulator than a cooler...

I love x-bit lab's articles :)

On page 11 what is the soft used to make to temperature follow up? (i'd like to have those charts!)

Ik heb een AMD 6400+ 3.2ghz Black Edition WOF,en ben van plan deze op ASUS M2N32-deluxe te gebruiken.want de AMD is in gebruik 125graden continue Warm,Thats Why I Wont It To Use To Tweak down/max lowest.

I have also the cooling problems whit my AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual Core processor 6000+ . How can I use this cooler I meen during the assemblign ı can have problems? I am asking because from the photos here ı did not understand how can I mount this cooler on my system. My mainboard is Asus M3A32-MVP DELUXE-WİFİ-AP.
Thanks for all ansvers.
