    Upgrade to Peltier Cooling

     

     

    BLACK ICE X2 RADIATOR

    With its massive size, and being able to fit 2x120mm fans the BIX2 should have no problems handling the heat dissipation duties.

     


     

      

     

    • 2-pass Double-row Low Pressure Drop Radiator specifically developed for PC Watercooling based on the new high-performance Black Ice Xtreme design.
    • Xtreme performance: rated for 1580KCal per hour (6270 BTU per hour).
    • Double Row 240 mm (9.44 inch) Copper core consisting of flat tubes for maximum heat conductivity
    • High-density louvered copper fin configuration for enhanced heat dissipation.
    • Built-in plenum chamber for increased performance and noise reduction.
    • Self-tapping and case mounting holes for easy installation of 120mm fans.
    • Now with 12.5 mm (1/2 inch) pre-angled inlet/outlet barbed hose connectors.
    • Optimal 273.4 x 133 x 45 mm (10.75 x 5.25 x 1.77 inch) dimensions allows it to fit inside most mid-tower cases.
    • Designed to meet the performance demands of hardcore Xtreme PC watercooling enthusiasts.

    I included some comparison shots against the Black Ice Extreme Pro to show just how massive the BIX2 is.


    HYDOR L30

     


     


    • Max Flowrate 320GPH (1200l/h)
    • Delivery Head 75" (195cm)
    • Power consumption 23W (US Version- 115V-60HZ)
    • 1/2"OD (13mm) barbed fittings on both suction and pressure sides.
    • Dimensions without accessories (fittings, suction cups etc.): length:4.5"(114mm) width:3"(76mm)height:3.5"(89mm)
    • Exceptional Reliability
    • Long Lasting
    • Quiet Operation
    • Compact Design
    • Simple cleaning and maintenance
    • Built-in thermal protector to prevent overheating

    Swiftech Pump Relay Switch

     


     

    • HEAVY DUTY relay switch for multiple devices (pump, auxiliary power supply, etc..)
    • Relay contacts max. rating in normal operations: up to 250 VAC, 16 A.
    • Inrush current: up to 50 A.
    • Relay coil rating: 12 V DC, 20mA
    • UL & EC approved

    CoolTechnica Delay Timer Kit

     


    CoolTechnica Delay Timer Kit, delays the CPU start-up anywhere between 1second to 60minutes (fully adjustable:). CoolTechnica Delay Timer Kit only delays the CPU start-up, not your fans or your water cooling system. Therefore your cooling system and fans function to cool down the CPU before your system starts the boot process.

     

    • CoolTechnica Delay Timer Kit (DTK), automatically delays the CPU start-up anywhere between 1second to 60minutes. It's fully adjustable for desired delay time

    • The Fans and water-cooling system are fully functional! CoolTechnica DTK only delays the CPU start-up, not your fans or your water-cooling system. Therefore your cooling system and fans function to cool down the CPU before your system starts the boot process.

    • Prevent disasters from occurring when using High Wattage Peltier and a dedicated power supply! You can use our Relay Switch Kit together with the Delay Timer Kit. Simply connect the dedicated the peltier power supply to the relay switch, so that it automatically turns on/off with the rest of your system. Since the Delay Timer automatically delays the CPU start-up you don't need to manually operate the dedicated PSU.

     

    Why is the Delay Timer Kit necessary for my system? It's a well-known fact that even if you have the very best water-cooling system chilled with a High-Wattage peltier (ie. 226W), the CPU OverClock can still fail during computer start-up. The cause of this symptom is of course heat. The CPU is not sufficiently cooled down yet when you first boot the computer. Connecting the dedicated Peltier Power Supply (such as the Mean Well S-320-12) and pump(s) to a surge protector is a common practice, so that the system start-up can be manually delayed. First you turn on the water-cooling and dedicated peltier PSU, wait for couple of minutes and then you start the computer. But of course there is couple of drawbacks with manually operating the pump and the dedicated PSU. First of all, this is a manual procedure, not automated. The fan(s) on the radiator and inside the computer enclosure are not functional since they're connected to the regular PC Power supply, so the radiator can not exchange heat in to the air properly. The dedicated power supply for the high wattage peltier is not connected to a relay switch, so if the pump fails, although the CPU overheat protection built in to the motherboard's BIOS (most new motherboards come with this feature as default) can shut down the computer, it cannot turn off the dedicated power supply since it's not connected to a relay switch. If the hot side of the peltier device is not cooled properly for long enough time, especially the 226W peltier, can easily damage the CPU. As a solution to the above mentioned problems, we’re introducing the new CoolTechnica Delay Timer Kit.


    Criticool Power Plant

     



     

    •  Toggle switch - bleed your system with the computer off

    • On board relay controlled by PCI Bus

    • External Molex 12VDC connection for external fan power

    • Inline fuse for overload protection

    • No case modifications for installation

    • Compact design

    • Easy operation, plug it in your PCI slot, plug in the AC cord through the power inlet on the PCI flange, and then hook up your pump wires to the pump terminal.

    • Will ship to anywhere in the world

    • Ships with cord for North America, Europe, or Australia

    • Can be used to power Pelletier coolers
