Is 35W pelt enough for GF2 Ti GPU

[strokeside]

I have an 80W pelt that I will be using on my GPU. Using either 5V, 7V or 12V, I can set the pelt to be 25W, 35W or 65W (as pelt is rated for 14.4V normally).
Which setting is most likely the best (as I would prefer just-below ambient temps as appossed to sub-zero overkill).
I looked up the GF2 GTs on the net, and it says it has an output of 10W. Assuming the GF2 Ti is a faster clocked GF2, and the overclocking I am doing to it, I would assume it to be aroun 20W to 25W, so 35W setting of the pelt should do.
What do you think?

Try 5, 7 and 12v to see what works best for you. I would seriously reccomend insulating the card and to use the full 12v on the TEC. Dangerden has closed cell foam that will make insulating your card a sinch.

I think that you have quite an experence with cell foam huh? Bender.


You could try it Most likely it will work Just dry test it if it is to cold then lower the voltage.

Yeah a bit. I have used neoprene to closed cell box packing material. Basically what you want is no contact from the outside air. This way condensation cannot occur. Remember to insulate the front and back of the card.

I've already used a silicon gel to insulate around the GPU and coldplate, on both sides of the card. I also have neoprene that i intended to use. I guess I'll set it to 7v and see if thats enough, as i have a thermal probe I will use on it. If it isn't really cold at 7V, I'll crank it up to 12V. If too cold already, I'll set it to 5V.
