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. |
