Hey,

I have a pair of 172W pelts, and am having problems with them. My XP 2400+, running at stock speed/voltage, hits 30C under load on my Epox 8K3A+, when running Prime95. This is with a SINGLE 172W pelt, not the pair. I want one working before I double them

I have a MASSIVE 24V power supply. it's rated for 15A @ 24V, but it's twice the size of a computer PSU and weighs at least 20 pounds. I imagine it can easily power the pair of pelts. But anyway, just the single pelt, running at 20V instead of 24V as it's optimal.

Each pelt draws 8 amps under load or at idle. Is this normal for 172W pelts?? I purchased these from www.cpuwatercooling.com and they have recently dissapeared. I think they may have shipped me the wrong pelts, or I got a pair of defective ones. I heard TEDist let some bad 172W pelts out....

Anyways I'm stumped. Plz help!
