Psywar Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 now u gotta remmeber.. watts differ from amps.. A pelt is going to suck alot of juice from your PSU, it uses alot of amps.. dont be suprised if u hook up a pelt, and when u go to power on the only thing that turns on is ur pelt and not the system.. oh and maybe a few lights.. lol..

kobalt Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 It's always better to have a diffrent PS for pelt cooling even if it's to not stress the mobo PS as psywar said,pelts draw a lot of juice and you wouldn't want to overheat and all that follows your power supply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalSloan Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 If your goin to use a pelt i would recomend heading over to DangerDen for a industrial psu, to deliver the juice u need, and various other necessities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
