Introduction

Last month we had the privilege to take a look into Coolit's Freezone CPU cooler. That unit used TEC (Peltier) cooled water, in a “chiller” module to cool the CPU. Being the first of its kind, Coolit was basically pioneering this field.


Taking a peek underneath the cover, there looks to be 3 separate Peltier units mounted on a central radiator, each with a block for coolant mounted on it. Following the path of the tubing, the unit appears to run these blocks in series, pumping the coolant through each block then back to the CPU block to cool your raging processor.

Installation of the Eliminator is pretty easy if you ask me. Just unscrew your old rear case fan, unclip your CPU cooler, and it's ready to go. After removing your stock cooler, you will need to clean off the leftover thermal paste before mounting the Eliminator block. I like to use rubbing alcohol as I always seem to have it around. A little bit on a rag will wipe the old paste right off and leave you ready to apply the new paste.

A performance fica um pouco abaixo do que se esperava, não?

A performance fica um pouco abaixo do que se esperava, não?


Talvez tenhas razão visto que estamos a falar em Peltier e se calhar o preço não faz desta unidade a melhor relação CxB...

Temos que ter em conta que o peltier está a ser arrefecido por uma ventoinha, que por sinal é de 92mm, mas pior que isso, o peltier está a ser arrefecido na parte quente por AC. É claro que uma solução com WC a arrefecer o peltier era bem melhor, mas só ia encarecer o kit. Tenho impressão que o Lord Paulus Cobris pegou num kit destes, e alterou essa parte do kit.
A potência do peltier é dita em algum lado?
