I've been looking at putting one of these (226 W Peltier): http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=85&cat=30&page=1
onto my CPU (Athlon 64).
Just wondering about power requirements though. The specs listed on that page say the Peltier draws 24 A at 15.2 V. So by my calculations it should draw about 19 A at 12 V. Does this seem correct?
Right now I've got an Ultra XConnect 500 W PSU powering an 80 W Peltier (about 6-8 A), a DVD burner, a Switfech pump, and a few fans. So if I'm right and the 226 W Peltier would draw around 19 A, then it seems like I'm within (though close) to my PSU's rated limit at 12 V of 34 A.
Am I right with my reasoning here, or am I just having a drawn out brainfart?
