Man!!! where did you hear that the 1.33ghz generates that much heat! AMD, Maximum PC, and many other sources say that this chip is quite a bit cooler than that of it's predecessors. I would wait and see but I can answer your question.

A 157w pelt is enough to cool that bad boy. If you have an extra power supply around you should consider supplying the pelt with 24v. (Bridge the PS's in series.) I to am ordering a 1.33ghz T-Bird, and I have a water cooling system, I was leaning tword the 87 watt pelt, because I am using a fridge to cool the water. I don't want to deal with condinsation problems with a HEAVY DUTY 157watt peitier/water cooling system. You'll be fine with the 157 watter and a powerful DC supply, and I would definately re-check that heat issue with the 1.33ghz because I have heard the exact oppisite from many sources. What size supply are you using with what components in your system?

Make no mistake about it, 157 watt pelt's are frequently talked about. . . But the bottom line is as popular as they sound, they are for extreme cooling purposes, and most people use them not because they need it, but because it's over-kill. Used in the right way they can chill anything. Look into "ARTIC SILVER" Heat transfer grease at millisec.com if you havn't already, put it on the CPU, and in-between the pelt, and W-Block. What temp do you want to run at anyway? Post back here when you get this, I am curious.

Good Luck
