heatsink and a pelt

[Wicked Klown]

Can you use a Pelt with the Swiftech MC462-BA. And if yes what temp would I see and would there be any condensation.

Are you using an 80W on a TBird like it says in your sig?

That's not really a great idea...you really want a larger tec for that.

Chances are, you'll not get good temps by aircooling a pelt...unless you're considering a P///.

There is no way that I know of to reliably air-cool a pelted t-bird. They just generate too much heat. If you want to use a pelt with an Athlon, you will have to go water cooling.

[Wicked Klown]

yes i'm using the 80 watter to cool my T-Bird and my temps are 9C.

[Warlord2]

thats pretty good

is that load or idle?

its the load temp that will tell you if you tec isnt powerfull enough

[Wicked Klown]

thats idle and with a watercooling set-up.

[Thelemac]

What is it for full load?

[Wicked Klown]

about 28-30C.
