At the risk of being completely pedantic, if it's 65% efficient, it would be need to dissipate 15.38 watts to move 10 watts (10/.65).

Or, I could be completely misreading what you said, which is highly likely.

Take my advice as much as you paid for it, it's worth about the same :)

On the fly math is always scary, especially in online forums where people are quick to be pedantic (I would never do that).
