Default Another PSU thead....

Im sorry, i know this forum has enough PSU threads, but i couldnt find an answer to my problem in there.
I want to use an old AT PSU to power one 156W pelt, its specs are
Imax = 16.1 Amps

Qmax = 156 Watts

Vmax = 15.8 Volts

Delta Tmax = 69 (C)

would that be somehow possible, and is that pelt good enough for a Palomino at 2.1V ?
Thanks

I would guess that @12V that pelt pulls 11 or 12 Amps, does your PS have that much on the 12V line?

it says on this PSU here:
230W +5V @ 23; +12 @ 9; -5/-12 @ 0.5


edit: i have another 350W enermax here with 17amps@ 12V, that i might be able to use, if i have some money left to buy a better one ... (5V prob )

12v @ 9a is a little too low, you can use the enermax, just buy a new antec
