Well finally got around to measure the Amps the 226W pelt is pulling from my Sparkle 550. It's an average 15 Amps!!

Additionally had to share the power to the pelt between 2 12V rails, because wires where getting to darn hot when connected to only one rail.

The Sparkle I use 550 is rated at 32 Amps, and is also powering the rest of the hardware in the computer.
