Peltier Power supplies

Foxgguy2001 · 10-23-2003, 11:58 PM

I just got into watercooling, and am now leaning to peltier cooling, nothing serious, just looking to drop a few degrees. I want to go for a 170-227 watt peltier, and am wondering if there is ANY way to run this to my current PSU, is a 500 watt psu.

Nope. It will draw 100% of the current that your PSUs +12V rail can provide. This will be less than it says on the PSU given you are running the rest of your system aswell and that the total combined wattage is 500W.
