Im on a pretty tight budget, but I eally want to pelt cool my system. I currently have:

Maze 2 waterblock
86 Accord Radiator
Maijet 2100 pump, i think, I know its 295gph

My system specs are:

Asus A7N8X
Athlon XP 1700+ T-bred
512mb Corsail PC3200
Ati Radeon 8500 (128mb)
Audigy 2

The main reason why I want to upgrade to a pelt cooling system is because I cant reach high speeds without worrying about my temps. I can get it up to around 2000mhz but the temps are like 55*C just in bios, in Windows they are probably higher. I'm kinda on a budget, but I've been trying to find a way to get a pelt cooling setup.
Is there anyway I could possibly add a cold plate to my maze 2?
What Is a good cheap power supply to power a 226watt pelt?
 
im thinking you could just drill new holes in your block on the corners, but without knowing the maze layout that might be risky. you could just use a hold down device, or make your own.

find the specs (needed votage, ect) on your 226w pelt and then find a power supply on ebay. heres a good one for only 15 bucks:

and heres the motherload of them for a more detailed search:

so im sure your thinking now why people pay 120 for a meanwell when they could get one for 15$ huh? cause they are idiots.

laters.

i said the same thing... Why are people spending 120$ on a friggen power supply. But then again this pelt needs:
15.8 volts max, you can just use a 12volt
24amps!!!
226watts
But thnx for the advice, im lookin on ebay now.
 
lol, i found a power supply thats:
12volts
75amps!!!
but I'm not sure how much wattage it has, but would this be able to handle the pelt that I listed in my last post
 
found another one, it has
12volts
30 amps
575watts
its perfect, i guess, but how would i connect to it a pelt.
anyone that wants to help instead of bidding on it, please msg me.
 
the second one i listed was 9.99 with 20$ shipping, but it was untested and sold as is.
