HydroBox III Weblog (Part 2) - Fitting the Peltier and Waterblock

Well it's the weekend ... and I thought, what better time is it than to continue with our HydroBox III (TM) Ultimate Project. This week's weblog shows you how we install the 240W Peltier TEC module, the pure copper cold plate and the Swiftech Apogee GTX water block.

We also used some neoprene padding and Luberex dielectric grease for preventing condensation. Check out the photos below ...

The Installation Process

Pure copper cold plate needed for the Peltier	240w Peltier TEC module
Some Luberex dielectric grease is needed to prevent condensation	Neoprene padding is then used to protect the lubricated area
Neoprene padding for the reverse of the motherboard	Again some Luberex around the processor socket (but not too much)
A test fit to see if my cutting skills are good enough	The CPU installed with thermal paste
The pure copper cold plate sits on top of the processor	The copper cold plate is then sandwich between the CPU and the Peltier
Copper cold plate installed with neoprene padding around it	The 240w Petlier installed with thermal paste
The Swiftech Apogee GTX fully fitted with Peltier installed	Another photo showing the fully installed waterblock

Watch out for the our next edition of our weekly weblog of the HydroBox III (TM) Ultimate Project. Next week we'll be fitting the tubing to the waterblock, radiator, resevoir, pump and flow meter.

Don't miss it ... and watch this space.
