looking for mean well at 24v 12amps or something like it

coolder · 08-15-2004, 01:13 PM

Will I have a 172 watt tec for a 9800XT vid card running off my 12v Enermax power supply and its not cold enough for me! I would like to know the best place to get a power supply for this that will take full advantage of the tec.
Its a:
Imax = 11.3 Amps

Qmax = 172 Watts

Vmax = 24.6 Volts

Delta Tmax = 69 (C)

Size = 40mm X 40mm X 3.2mm

I think the mean well at 24v 12amps is what I should be looking for?? Your responces on this are appreciated!
PS Nice forum here! I found this looking for the power supply. Glad I did.
I have a swiftec water pump 320 gph with a blackice II dual 120 mm fans that only cools the swiftec MCW50-t waterblock modded to a 172 tec and the chipset. The cpu is cooled with phase change cooling.

Thanks all

That supply would work.

But you'll be using four time the power for the pelt, and it'll be generating four time the heat, for only ~30% more cooling power. Odds are the extra heat load will warm up your water to the extent that there's no gain.

Check your water temperature, is it more than 5 degrees over ambient? A second rad or an upgraded one is a better bet.
