Peltiers are cool – Literally. I would not use the same power supply to power the Peltier. I will give you two reasons 1- They consume a large amount of power 2- Peltiers usually used to cool CPU are the happiest at 16v. Also Peltier work best when they are sandwich in-between the block and Peltier plate (see picture). The best performing blocks for Peltier right now are the pin style blocks. You could buy a complete Peltier and block assembly or you could assemble your own and learn.
