You don't get what?
I make a project on 2 cards ! This is the second one.

Hello,

Informations about Peltier elements:

QC-127-1.4-3.7MS
Peltierelement 36W for GPUs
40x40x4,7mm
30,12€/pieces
120,48€ (4 pieces)

QC-127-1.0-3.9M
Peltierelement 18W for Sdrams
30x30x3,6mm
26,92€/pieces
179,52€ (6 pieces)

8 Tecs are here:

The others tecs will arrived 2 weeks later.

Powersupply is ordered:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Trafo-Netzte.../280653381774?pt=Bauteile&hash=item41583ec08e
350W Coolingpower is very high. Maybe, we can freeze the card for best o/c results.

Powersupply received:

I think those peltiers have a nominal voltage of 15v. 12v isn't going to drive them nearly as well. As you may or may not know, peltiers are very inefficient.

Done with the "normal functional design" but we will take tho old design. I like this
1mm Coldbplate on RAM.
To the front, we will take thermalgrease.
To the back, we will use thermalpads too.
4 tecs on GPU and 6 tecs on ram.

Idea:

We take a screw to push the pcb on the front cooler. Better is thermalglue, or we take a screw an a backplate. We have better temperatures.
We must defeated a plasticplate under the screw.
Acrylglastops must be changed in other material. We will use POM (black or white).
Acrylglas can broken because the temperatures differences.

Informations about isolation.
We need dough first to conserve the card. At first, the card must be protect with dough. But the dough will be cold too, to the tecs. There, we must isolate the dough too, with Armaflex. Armaflex is one of the best insolator. I think its a safe way.
Furthermore we can regulate the tecs with an controlpanel. With the controlpanel we can regulate the coolingpower.
May be from 400W - 100W.

Wow talk about a blast from the past, didn't they only make a limited supply of these?

Less than 70 full working Voodoo5 6000 cards in the world. It's a prototype graphic card.
A legend

 

[Ruoh]

This is a curiosity, nothing more. I've seen worse ways to waste money though.

 

[Globox]

updates?

 

[trevormacro]

Hello,

Come back

The front copperbaseplate is done:

New structur. 1mm to 0.3mm for cooler tecs. 4 hours of investement for this struktur. In the backcooler, same structur.

An electronics engineer draws up the control panel:

All provisionally done.

Here is the beauty:

In progress now...

Oh....the peltier, great idea. I have scared myself more than once using them in the past

 

[Yawnald]

AWESOME!

Hi,

Some tests for the green color.

nb. the painter will paint again because the quality is bad.

What do you think?

 

[leeleatherwood]

I like it alot, very nice. I lately have been considering building a "retro" gaming rig to play the older Win95/98 error games that support GLIDE.

Also, I think you should leave the waterblock just plain copper, looks better than green.

 

[trevormacro]

The green color is good now.

Soon the next step...

Hello,

The Control Panel:

Let's start...

Let's see if condensation occurs...

Next step for the next time...

 

[VoodooNinja]

Wow! That work is pretty impressive.

 

[c3k]

This is great! What a fun project.

 

[IceDigger]

Very impressive! Keep up the good work!

 

[fdiaz78]

Are you planning on benchmarking this card and what are you planning on using?

 

[Skripka]

Those wires need some sleeving love.
