Pelt w/ Antec True 550W

CheeseBall · 07-15-2003, 11:33 PM

If I have my system on this PS and want to add a pelt is a 120W one about the most I can get out of it?

?!?

Get the most out of what?

If you're pelting the CPU, you ought to be looking at 170W pelts and higher, unless it's an older CPU. Then you need to figure out if the PSU can power that pelt, and that depends on the voltage you're going to end up applying to it.

What's the most wattage I can get out of my PS (for a pelt) w/ out pushing my PS too much... Basically I don't want to buy another PS and I'm wondering what's the biggest pelt I can use w/ my current PS. It has 24A max load on the 12V side.

I have a 1.4ghz tbird (gunna need a big pelt for that mahma-jahma), but I don't plan on keeping it for longer then another year (hopefully not that long).

So you found a pelt that's spec'ed at 15 volts, and at least 170 Watts?

169W Potted Peltier

Imax = 16.1 Amps
Qmax = 169 Watts
Vmax = 16.4 Volts
Delta Tmax = 69 (C)
Size = 50mm X 50mm X 3.4mm

You don't think this one will work? Is it ok to also use my 5V line? It has 40A Max Load.
