At 24V it'll try and pull 11.3 amps from your PS, so your PS will over-heat and maybe fail. The problem could be rectified with a lower voltage, thus a lower amount of amperage would be pulled. If you run it at 24V you really need all 11.3 amps. You could possibly run it at 15V-12V and it would pull significately less amps, ~6-8A. I haven't done any calcs on it, just guesstimating.
