Yep.....It's a hog now forsure...although it's totally not operating at it's design specs yet.Watercooling the pelts will be a vast improvement .....so will the heatpipes.It was always my intention to run the peltiers on a duty cycle/PWM setup via the Matrix Orbital LCD........Thus reducing power consumption.Not that I'm worried about it.
The other main design objective : Extreme cooling for OC'ing.This is where the next 6 months of rebuilding it (aka V 2.0) and testing come in.....I would really like to see frosty windows on this tank , even if it does take 1 Kw.Whatever
/me goes back to filing copper......
