80W? Aren't they specced for 25W?
I said I was just throwing out a number....50 percent increase in speed and maybe an additional .2v.... maybe more like 50w :shrug:

100W pelt on an 80W cpu is going to be hotter than just straight watercooling on the CPU.
Why would this be? I'm aware of the fact that the temperature of the water cooling loop will be raised substantially. I was under the impression that pelts were like heat pumps: they are able to move X amount of heat from one side to the other. If you have a pelt that is rated to move more than heat of the processor outputs, shouldn't you be able to achieve sub ambient temperatures? Maybe I'm missing something here?
