Well, I replaced my 50w TEC with my new 86w TEC. And Guess what?
I got a whole 0mhz higher!
but it does run a bit cooler. The 50w would idle at around 28c @ 1.9v @ 1000mhz. This is with the door to my computer desk closed.
The 86w pelt runs around 21c with the same conditions. And about 13c with the computer desk door open. Big difference heh!
I'm thinking that unless I do some serious super cooling i'm pretty well at my limit with this chip. But atleast it will run cool enough to take me thru the summer at 1 gig. Last summer with the 50w tec it would get just hot enough to lock up while running any 3d apps. Actually at 1000mhz any temps over 29c, I cannot run any 3d aps without lockups! So the bigger pelt just gave me a little more security.
