Title: 2PAC extreme cooling / overclocking Post by: bitmunkey on November 19, 2018, 08:43:54 PM After Scryptr made a passing joke about having a peltier/TEC, i decided to go out and do it.
I have got 2x 40x40mm copper plates, 3mm thick to be heatsinks for the hot and cold side. a 12704 60w TEC, and a nice large heatpipe AMD cooler. the TEC will be run from a 5A 12v charger, and the 2PAC will have a 5v 4A wired into it to make sure i have enough ampage to keep it powered once i start going silly with the overclock. everything will be sealed with silicone sealent to stop condensation. the unlucky 2pac will be arriving this week. will follow up with more pics and findings as i go. (i wont come crying to you if i blow it up sidehack) lol https://preview.ibb.co/cb7kPf/IMG-20181119-154146.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/e0PAqL/IMG-20181119-154202.jpg Title: Re: 2PAC extreme cooling / overclocking Post by: gt_addict on November 19, 2018, 09:10:03 PM “The unlucky 2pac” :D :D
Sounds like a great project and will be keeping an eye on this thread. Gotta love a bit of extreme overclocking ;D Title: Re: 2PAC extreme cooling / overclocking Post by: bitmunkey on November 22, 2018, 04:41:26 PM going to use my thermal camera to check for other hot spots on the stick, as ill be coating the whole think lightly in silicone sealer as i dont want any condensation killing it. will post more later this week as i continue to make the cooling plate :D Small update, the sacrificial 2PAC has arrived today. Will get on to marking up the copper plates and tapping the mounting holes. Once that's started, i will post preliminary mounting pics ;D https://ibb.co/i3hzpq here is the preliminary test of the TEC mounted on the bottom of the cooler. needs to be mounted a little stronger, but a nice check to make sure everything fits before i start maing a mount for it.

Definitely a good idea coating it in sealant, quite a bit of condensation on that already lol
