Relay kits ARE ESSENTIAL, since i had an accident once on a pelt block i designed that was simply activated via a switch on the front of my pc.. i powerd off my computer but stupidly 4got the peltier powersupply. Woke up the next day and half my case was melted lol.... pop went my old x800 card and processor. That water block got so hot the anodized coating vaporised off. :slap:
That another 150...so 400 to start, then a water cooling kit...another 200-250....adds up:cry:
Edit: oh, and I built my own relay switch, and slightly modified my mean well powersupply to deliver a higher max Voltage, since the pelt could take more than was offered by the supply
Actually, u know how long the 939 socket is gonna be around for? in terms of new processors coming out..
