Has anyone ever tried using a rheostat on a pelt setup before to control a pelt? I know this sound strange.

I am in the process of planing out my upgrades to my machine and it possibly incudes adding a pelt and WB to my GF3 to keep the overal case temp down. I want to put a pelt that will cool both the core and the memory using a GF3 copper plate that Sysfailur designed. However I dont want to freeze the plate, I only want to cool it down (AKA I dont want to deal with condensation forming on the plate) So I want to see if I can stick an 80W pelt on the setup, power the pelt through my PSU (it's strong enough), and control the amount of heat that the pelt will move. I was hoping that there might be a way of adjusting the pelt to just above the dew point and keep it there.

I know that an external linear power supply would be ideal, however I dont want to invest in such a setup.

One other though was that I could use only a 56W pelt in that setup but that might be too weak/strong. What are your thoughts........
