Hi guys am thinkg of getting the MCW50-T peltier to cool my graphics card do u think a ttgi 520w psu be enough to power my system.

Specs:

Gigabyte 8INXP
4 x 80mm fans
1 x 120 fan
3 dual cathodes
swiftech MPC pump w/ pump relay
Swiftech MCW50-T
Prometeia
2 cd drives
1 Crystalfontz LCD

I have the MCW50 and i want the MCW50-T instead so i was wondering if i add the MCW50-T i would screw up the psu?

Swiftech recondmends you use a psu that supplies at least 20Amps on the 12v rail for a typical system. I'm using one with my psu with no problems. Check you psu specs, you should be fine with 20Amps or more on 12v.

I think the SS model differs from the TS model by the number of fans on the PSU ?? I could be wrong... But the psu rating should be the same.

Alot of people swear by the TTGI psu's, so you shouldn't have any problems.

I believe that the TTGI's also have adjustable pots for the 3.3v/5v and 12v rails, which is nice. :)

This seems to be one of the fav's here. The "Black Silent" a four fan version is on sale for $74 at Directron (who makes this unit); http://www.directron.com/blacktt520.html
If you paid $86 you may also have got the Silent four-fan version; http://www.directron.com/tt5204fanc.html
If you paid $79 then you may have the tri-fan Aluminum model, which also comes in four colors, also made by Directron/at Directron; http://www.directron.com/tt520ss4fanb.html (although the link reads "tt520ss4fan". basically here's the page for anyone who want's what may be one of the top three PSU's out there;
http://www.directron.com/quietpsu.html
Basically their all on sale the Black Silent being the least at $74, and all are model: TTGI TT520SS 520Watt 3 or 4 fan. I'm hoping (praying) for a PCP@C 510W ATX-PFC, if all goes well.
