i'm @ 440mhz on my gpu (radeon 9500) stock is 277 or around there. not bad of a OC

not completely stable 435mhz is 100% stable my goal is 450mhz

but it seems that the 80W TEC is not cold enough. i'm @ 1.8V gpu core now

so i'm lookin' into the 172W

u think my 550W antec trupower PSU can handle it? in place of the 80W? (a64 3400+ [that and gpu n ram vmodded], 1x cd-rw drive, 1x dvd-rom, radeon 9500, sb audigy 2 plat, 2x 10k rpm, 1x 300gb HDD, 1x pc4000 512mb stick)

i do have another PSU here that i dont use dont i connect the green wire to ground for it to pwer on?

and what would b the actual wattage if i run it from the molex?

nother thing would it b possible to stack the 2 pelts? WB -> 172 -> 80w ->cold plate->gpu

yes.

QMax will be 90-100w. Slightly better.

No.
