Narrative:
Climbing through about 17;000 ft we received a pack temp adv. The captain read the QRH and complied. I flew and communicated with ATC. The captain was able to momentarily cause the adv to go out; but the pack continued to overtemp irregardless of pack valve configuration. We elected to return to the departure airport since the QRH states that if the adv is uncontrollable we should turn the pack off to let it cool down. We landed without incident.the main issue was that the #1 pack was already deferred.
