Alright well I have a 600watt OCZ PSU and I wanted some opinions of if my PSU could handle running these different pelts along with my system. Here is what the PSU will have to run without a tec:
Athalon Mobile 2600+ at 2.6ghz (1.9v)
2x512 OCZ Value VX extreme ram running at 3.6v
x800pro (1.7v core)
1 HD, 2 Optical drives
3 120mm fans, 3 80mm fans
Ok so now here are the specs of the 2 potential TEC's that will be running on my x800:
1.
# 50mm x 50mm x 3.6mm
# 130 - 170 Watts of cooling power
# Operates from 0-15 volts DC and 0-15 amps
2.
# 50mm x 50mm x 3.64mm
# 245 - 320 Watts of cooling power
# Operates from 0-15 volts DC and 0-26 amps
I am pretty sure that my 600w OCZ will be able to handle the first TEC without a problem. The big question I guess is if it can handle the #2 pelt and still manage to run my system.
I do not really want to get a seperate PSU for a TEC right now since I will have a hard time explaining it to the people that control my rent (parents). Also the potential cost and size of a dedicated non-PC PSU is a deterent at the moment. I might grab a cheap PC-PSU to run the tec's if I have too.
So basically I would like to know if you think I could get away with running either TEC with the rest of my system?
