Hi,
I know this forum is not popular, but I am hoping for some help anyway.
It maybe should be under the normal water cooling forum.
My work has a lot of cooling, which means I have access to some active cooling components. Amongst other stuff I have access to 2 peltier units that are left over from some discarded project.
I also have a water block and an air heatsink, which fits together nicely.
I am thinking that this could be added to a water loop, since the waterblock as fittings that fit 9 mm inner diameter tubing.
However I am curious about if the lower temp will affect the performance.
I would like to bring the temp down below 30, but above 20. Because going under 20 gives a chance for condensation.
The parts are:
2 x peltier elements
PN CP85438

75W each, but should not go that high, as there is a danger to go over the limit, which will just make it heat instead of cool
I am hoping to not get above 100W in total.
1 x water block
PN: CP10G18

1 x air block
PN: LA 10 300 24 V

300 mm length
I am aware that using a peltier for cooling draws alot of watts from the wall.
I ran a test on a single peltier, without water, which yielded some results.
My quick math said rule of thumb of for each W cooled you need 2 W more for the peltier.
My idea for loop looks like this:
Pump/Res -> Radiator -> Peltier -> GPU/CPU -> repeat
This way most of the heat will be removed from the water, before it gets to the peltier, which takes alot of pressure of the peltier and bring the water down below room temp.
Anyone have an input?
Other than it being a very bad idea if you have economy in mind
Best
