I would like to save as much money as possible and so instead of getting a 226w for my GPU which is exciting but rediculous, (I saw the article on it
HERE I am going with a 226w (from DD) for my CPU, and a smaller peltier for the GPU.
Would it work to get an 80w and hook it up to the 450w PSU that also runs my P4c 2.4ghz CPU, a DVD drive, a 52x CD Burner, two 80gig 7,200rpm HDDs, and an nvidia 5600U?
Would a normal PC CPU work for an 80w Peltier? Would a middle-of-the-line 250w PSU do the job for a 120w or 172w peltier?
I plan on putting the 226w pelt on the basic meanwell that DD sells just because it will be on my 2.4ghz processor first, and later this summer it will be on a 3.4ghz P4 so I dont want to risk anything. The 5600U is only worth 70-80 bucks so it isnt as big of a deal.
