Water Cooling and Pelt

[cashx0rs]

Been doing a lot of reading on water cooling systems and had an idea pop in my head. Seems a water cooling solution with a radiator can only be as cool as room temperature. I Was thinking of designing a reservoir in which a pelt could be installed on the side of it. Hopefully keep the water even colder then room temperature. Would this work and have any of you done it before? Also, is it even worth the effort being the room temperature seems to be good enough?

Thanks

Peltiers are not very efficient. Depending on the operating temperature they can vary from 1/2 to 1/3 efficiency. For example, to cool a modern 75+ watt processor you need to use a 120-225 watt peltier. It has been done before and it seem the only thing its efficient at is wasting electricity. I'd look into evaporator coolers (bongs/swamp coolers) and phase change systems (refrigerator/HVAC) if you were to attempt such an endeavor. It's much cheaper to by a cube refrigerator and some copper tubing than a pelt and power source. That's the other caveat. You really don't have enough power in your PSU to run your computer and a 120+ watt peltier.

Complicated proofs are proofs of confusion.

Wow, I've heard of pelts scuking up some power, but I didn;t know that much! Well, maybe instead of utilizing a pelt on the reservoir to cool the water below room temperature there is something else. I would think there has to be something and it would be such an easy mod. Just stick it on the reservoir! I'll keep looking because I know the answer is out there.

U could get some freon. The AC chemical. lol, make a setup so that it cools the radiator
