I spent a couple of years playing with TEC's, successfully building out a universal whole case cooler that dropped the CPU temp by 20c while maintaining a case temp of around 10c. So a few things, mounting pressure on the TEC plate is EXTREMELY important, you need even pressure across both sides or performance takes a serious hit. We ended up threading out own bolts with a very high thread density, counting the turns and confirming with calipers. You also need to have a neoprene gasket (cut a hole for the TEC and sandwich between the heatsinks) we used quarter inch high density neoprene, but your application may need something different. We also used 600w TEC's (24v @ 25a) which required a special switching PSU (30v@30a), and HUGE melcor nickle plated copper heatsinks that were cooled with 120mm 120cfm sillverstone fans. The HS's were 120x120x90mm, and each weighed about 5 pounds, with each tec using TWO. You can simply drop the cold side into a container of water, and use as many as you like. The other important thing, you're much better off using high power TEC's like the 600w we used, and undervolting it. At lower power, TEC plates are much more efficient. Basically you're better off using 8 600w TEC plates, running 75w each than you are using 1 plate running full load. I would have to check my 15 year old forum posts, but i'm pretty sure we found that 30% load was the sweet spot in terms of efficiency, though i'm really not sure if that's a flat metric or simply applied to our 600w plates. Either way, i'd suggest taking another run at this, you should be able to get much better results using much fewer parts and a less janky set up.

@heygek2769 Год назад

I think a big part of why this video even happened is because he used stuff that they already had or bought cheap off AliExpress.

@Daniel-hj5jt Год назад

@@heygek2769 I'm sure it is, but they've taken a couple runs at TEC coolers for various applications, and in each instance they've done it rather poorly, ended up with bad, or at least insanely inefficient results, and perpetuate the idea that TEC's are useless. I freely admit, this is a personal pet peeve and this was clearly done for the entertainment value, but...if you're going to do something, you really should try to do it as well as you possibly can. One of the simplest things that is consistently overlooked, is using a TEC to cool the back of your CPU socket. There have actually been a few cases in recent years that have employed fans behind the motherboard tray for this purpose, using a TEC in this was is simply more beneficial, and less complicated than trying to directly cool the chip. Like i said before, i spent years playing around with TEC designs, and ended up with several very viable solutions that i simply didn't have the money to see through, and now i just don't have the time. These guys do, and i'd like to see them make a serious attempt.

@indigenous.rabbit2877 Год назад

I believe you ran the cooling to the peltiers in parallel, that would completely explain why the coolant was not getting there. Water always takes the easiest route so there was no need for it to go through the top ones, it could just go through the bottom ones. Also rethink the diameter or your water tubes, the tubes going to the waterblocks were really thick and the one going to the pumps was only a little thicker. No wonder there was almost no flow in some areas. You would probably be fine with those flimsy 5mm ish tubes going to the individual units on the hot side. Maybe for a second iteration of this split the cooling system up into groups of like 4 peltiers cooled in series with smaller separate radiators. Also have the water in the cold loop flow the other direction from that in the hot loop to make sure the water doesn't get reheated by the higher temperature peltiers (because they are in series the last one gets a lot warmer cooling water and thus will cool less far on the cold side). I think by hooking up the cold side in groups of 4 (or so) with their own pump and combining the output with a splitter to the CPU plus the aforementioned changes you could optimize this setup.

@NonSensicalCharacter Год назад

I feel like in a previous video, it was established that if you want to do this, you should first run the hot water through a radiator to get the temperature down for most of the way and then run it past the TECs to go sub-ambient.

@JETWTF Год назад

For a manifolded assembly like that you want it to be horizontal rather than vertical so gravity affects each one the same. Then you can have radiators attached to the hot side drawing cool air from the cold tubes on the bottom and the cold side blowing chilled air over the hot tubes on top for a small performance boost in the setup.

@koalaunknown Год назад

@kanetw_ Год назад

1. Use a few distribution blocks (eg Phoenix PTFIX) instead of soldering 80 wires. Or good old Wagos. You'll hate yourself less. 2. I would do a 5s4p connection instead of 20p to save on tubing effort while having some redundancy. E: any manifold connection has potential for unequal flow so you need to watch out for that. Big benefit of series tubing is you have the same flow rate everywhere.

@DrakkarCalethiel Год назад

5s4p with each string on its own pump would make a whole lot more sense.

@ShieTar_ Год назад

But that means potentially trying to remove 600W from a small 40mm x 40mm waterblock. I don't think you can get a fast enough flowrate through it to make that happen.

@zeendaniels5809 Год назад

Add some RGB. You forgot about that.

@todorow22 Год назад

He could tune the flow rates with flow controls. reducing flow in the lower peltier devices would probably balance the flow up to the peltier devices that are much higher and thus need more head pressure. If you are feeding the same head pressure to each row the top will never get good flow.

@eduardocarrasco8830 Год назад

Alex, the way you connected the pumps is not giving you double the head pressure, you are basically connecting them in tandem. This mean that one pump discharges just to feed the suction tank to the next. There is not pressure transmission doing that, so basically is just the last pump working, the first is just feeding the second tank, that’s it. If you want to connect the pumps in series to double the head pressure you need to connect directly the discharge side of pump 1 to the inlet side of pump 2. If you want to double the flow, then both pumps must be connected to a discharge pipe at the same time, but the total head is equivalent to one pump.

i think you might get better results if you use a large high reservoir above each loop and let the pumps just pump the liquids up, then let gravity let the liquids flow through the coolers this would probably get equal flow through each cooling element. that way you could also store some cold liquid in the reservoir and run a benchmark from the stored cooling capacity of the reservoir.

@broklond Год назад

You gotta connect those blocks on the peltier-s in parallel (at least in blocks). You could do four groups of TEC-s with each group having their own pump and radiator combo so you have higher crossection for the water to flow through. If you connected everything here in series, I would imagine, the pressure needed to push the coolant through the whole system is too much with just a tubes diameter of cross section for coolant flow.

@TorgieMadison Год назад

As I understood it, they were connected in two parallel blocks of 10. The frame's left side supported 10 TEC-s, and the right supported the other 10. Front was cold, back was hot. Am I missing something? These aren't connected in series at all.

@LievenSerge Год назад

@@TorgieMadison They all had their own circuit, which makes for a very long pipe in sum. When you group 4, you almost cut that length by /4 -> less pressure is needed.

@KGBgringo Год назад

This was great, we need more Alex and Jake making amazing jank

I'm here for more of Alex's off-the-wall cooling ideas! As in, he comes up with the ideas by "throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks", then makes videos out of what does /not/ stick.

Alex's introduction to tecs and cables has probably taught me more than the 8 years of physics class I had so far

@justinpierce3367 Год назад

what?

@herozero777 Год назад

Really liked that you guys tried to explain TEC :) and also referred to a more thorough source

@Veptis Год назад

The continuation of crazy cooling ideas. I love it!

alex is easily my favorite person to see leading a project

We are slowly getting to a point, where our CPU coolers will need their own coolers.

@Exilir8 Год назад

@Ahmed Jones but If we get a cooler for the CPU cooler's cooler, then we'd also need another cooler for the cooler for the CPU cooler's cooler.

You have to create strings and parallel streams with your cooling liquid. The way have it now you would need an open reservoir which presents NO pressure at all. Best way to to this would be to have the water coming from top into the reservoir like a small waterfall. With that much parallel water flow you actually hampered the whole performance. Also add some automatic air reliefs at the top to get the air out as fast as possible. We have the same concept in out town water system where I'm responsible of. You need strings and parallel flow correctly done or else you have no flow at all...

love alex's strange, wierd and amazing cooling ideas! best one yet!

I think my Prometia cooler only drew like 800w and could keep a 500W load at -20C. I just got tired of dealing with condensation, so went with water chiller that keeps the loop at 1C above ambient.

I love seeing these type of videos more than standard pc builds

@KuramaKitsune1 Год назад

Should have had those tec modules in series and parallel behind each other cooling the hot side of the other tecs for a multi-stage

@RTDragonCommando Год назад

I think the pumps needed to be split up among the different sets of coolers, so a pump and a "one in five out" manifold per level of that tower. Getting the water/coolant to cycle properly through all the blocks would probably make a huge difference, and if I understand how they work correctly, may actually get the TECs to draw more power. The reason for that being they have temperature limits on the hot side, once it reaches a certain point it just can't push more heat across, and will drop off.

Those tecs need 17v, they were giving them 12v. So the devices were underpowered, thus under delivering.

@ethanvalentine4299 Год назад

literally the day after linus mentions it on the WAN show my default res dropped to 720p.... and it was DEFINETLY noticeable!... Also these peltier things are horribly inefficient at full power tech ingredients did a video using these to create a freezer and fridge really cool vids i highly recommend watching them (as well as the ones alex mentions in this video) if this kind of tech is truly interesting to you. Awesome video! I would honestly watch a whole channel dedicated to alex doing random stuff like this.

Alex, Jake and AliExpress in one Video. And its exactly as insane as expected!

You know the video will be good when sketchy aliexpress stuff meet Alex

@philh98 Год назад

I love to see Alex hosting more videos! He seemed to be so shy in the past.

@eTiMaGo Год назад

A work of art indeed!!! Always dreamt of playing with peltiers back in my mad overclocking days, but they were expensive and rare at the time :(

@frankvanrijn964 Год назад

Alex and Jake are a funny team doing Frankensteiny stuff. More please!

@YOEL_44 Год назад

Only time I've used a peltier was for a DIY dehumidifier, they're terribly ineficient, just don't use them.

I SEE IT. He has the engineer eyes now. You know, the sort of sunken, passion deprived gaze that is earned by answering emails and attending team meetings instead of doing ACTUAL work. Congratulations.
