PrinTus MaXimus - The RETURN of the TEC!

We’re you able to confirm if mob or cpu issue?
VERY HARD to confirm either or.

Both Socket and CPU suffered.... physical issues..... SO it was a miracle it worked at all.

Since nothing has changed since the last time i booted it, can't say it was caused by something physical.
Me just don't know.
 
Yes, poor poor CPU.

Ok, i'm gonna rip it apart tomorrow and JUST MAYBE, I will find something that can be fixed... otherwise, I'll open many a beer tomorrow while I click "Add to Cart".

Hopefully a little wiggle of the cpu in the socket with a little tension on the locking lever will have you back in business. Good luck with it.

Wish i could do a "Little wiggle". Not as simple as a standard waterblock. This sucker is sealed tight.
I'll fiddle with it this evening. Giver the ole college try.
 
I always wanted to do a tec-assisted system my simplified plan was to basically creating a hot and cold loop. loop 1 being the cold side of the tec chilling the water instead of chilling the components directly. Then a hot loop to cool the tec. Instead of aiming for sub-ambient temperatures on the components directly forcing ambient/slightly sub-ambient fluid temperatures instead.

But as inefficient as TEC's are I always like to see people playing with them.

I tried that about 10 years ago. No where near as cooling efficient as direct but did show a better result, not by much as I recall. Do believe I also had an issue with condensation on the hoses at some point if memory serves.

It's a horrible power consumer, like running your GPU on full all the time bad... actually, with newer GPU's it's kinda like half power.

Just like being the odd duck out on my rigs.
