looking to get a bit more performance out of my 9500gt. i already have it overclocked pretty well using a socket a heatsink with load temps of 45C, but i think it can go quite a bit farther with a peltier.
where would i find out the wattage of a gpu such as my geforce 9500gt? i know i can find the total watts of the entire card, but i am not looking to cool the entire card. just the gpu.
or would anyone have a good quess as to what size peltier i would need to get my gpu to roughly 10C below ambient? i am not looking to freeze the thing. just want to run the gpu a lttle cooler then ambient. also, is a socket 775 aftermarket heatsink going to be enough for a peltier cooled gpu? i dont want to go with water cooling. i thought a big old ait cooled heatsink with a duct to the outside of the case might be enough.
my friend has a bridgeport, so i can pretty much make my own custom cold plates and such.
