Hi, new to this forum but certainly not new to the OC scene. I have a Swiftech MCW5002-PT 226 TEC unit (see below for rest of system components) that I am using to cool a CPU that puts out 130W (by my calculations) at full load. Here are my current stats:

TEC
Umax = 226W
Vmax = 15.2V
Imax= 24W

Powered by Meanwell SP-320-12 @ 13.8V

Temperatures:
Idle: 31C below ambient (2C)
Full load: 2C below ambient (31C)
Ambient: 33C

...you get the picture. I am looking at getting the new slim line design SP-480-15 by Meanwell. I want to run my 226W pelt at 15.2V (max). Assuming my watercooling setup can handle this (I am moving >2GPM with 4 x 130CFM fans in push/pull across a dual 120mm rad)? Will this get me max cooling?

Just so we are clear here. I am NOT looking to talk about efficiency. I don't care about my electric bill. Let's NOT discuss my watercooling loop's ability to remove heat. All I want to talk about is MAX PERFORMANCE. I am assuming that Vmax (and Imax) give Umax which is the MAX performance. Yes?
