Ok so I am about to order a cold plate and 226watt pelt for my Maze3...
However, I want to:
1) Run this pelt off my regular PSU. It is a 550watt FSP with 36 AMPS on the +12V rail.
2) I want to run the Pelt so that my CPU is at AMBIENT temp (so I won't have to use dielectric grease, foam pads, etc.etc...)
How would I go about doing this?
I would need some sort of way to control how much power the Pelt will get. I don't need it to use full 226watt nor 24 amps. Would a 169W be a better idea? My power supply can only give the pelt 20 amps MAX anyways, because the mobo and stuff are using about ~15.
Should I just use a resistor? or is there something else I need to use?
Thanks!
