I just did a some current measuring:

At 12V the peltier draw just under 18A. At 13.8V it draw just under 20A. Not a large difference. Cooling power going from 12V to 13.8V allows me both 2C lower idle and full load temperatures. I am very currious what full power will do. On another note...I also have 4 fans that are rated for 12V on this power supply. 1A each. I am right at this PSU limit of 25A. Not good. In any case I need to move up to the 480W unit.

Any other comments?
