thermoengine w/delta w/85w pelt

[peppy]

Can I use my Thermoengine with a delta 38 to cool a 85 watt pelt that i am going to use on my rig?

probably not, that is not near big enough of a pelt to cool that processor

The peltier will actually cause more heat since its not nearly strong enough. Air cooled peltiers are best used on P3s and celerons.

the thermoengine doesnt have very much surface area on the bottom, you will not be able to cover the peltier well enough to cool it

i got questions, as you can see, i am running a cel-t, and temp is fine, but i will switch to PIII-s soon (hope i can pass the ram test, posted by intel ). and i know i my PIII-s will run much hotter than its little bro, and i am not too fond of idea of h2o. anyway, i am just wondering, if i use a pelt, what would be the best wattage for my chips (1.26 @ 1.6+, load 42c). and do i have to worry about condensation and stuff? thanz man
