Question Double Stacked TECs

Does anyone have any info on double stacking TECs to really cool things down? Also the pros and cons to a setup like this. I'll be using a waterblock to cool the top TEC I guess. Not sure because don't know exactly how this works.

Right you need to water cool the top TEC and then that inturn will cool the top of the second TEC wich will cool the CPU. Again talk to Chong on the details of this setup also Anon OCer is a good source of info on the subject..

What exactly is TEC? I'm sure I know what they are, just not used to calling them TECs. Hell, maybe I don't know what they are...

They're also called Peltiers. Usually they're about the a couple of inches square, and produce heat on one side and cold on the other. The temperature depends on how cool you can get the hot side to. The colder the hot side, the cooler the cold side gets.

The one thing is, a TEC has a maximum cold temp that it can reach... Like if you have -50C water and had it cooling a TEC, odds are it wouldn't give you any colder on the other side...

Using dual TECs would be helpful perhaps with using ambient temperature water, but not if you are using chilled water... If you were planning on using dual 226w TECs, that is going to need some serious power & cooling....

depending on the wattage, and what you could find / or what you were willing to spend...

Tripplite makes power supplies for "CB radios, test bench supplies, tape players and amplifiers" which run at 13.8v, and they range from 3amps to 60amps... But they are going to cost you for the larger models...
