TEC n00b here. Simple question.....

My current project will allow me a single dedicated power supply to power my TEC(s). The PS must use conventional mounting.
IE: ATX specs

I have a spare 550W Enermax.
The specs are as follows: +3.3V = 40A, +12V = 24A, +5V = 46A

If I take the following TEC specs as an example: 80W 8A 14.4V

How do I take the PS specs and enumerate them into the number of TEC(s) I can safely power ?

I realize that the TEC wants 14.4V.. which it is not getting from this PS.
Will that increase its power requirements above the listed 8A ?

Is the +12V = 24A the important figure ??

I assume I CANNOT just say:
3 8A TEC's = 24A and the +12V = 24A
and thus.. I can run 3 8A TEC's.

Clearly I need to be educated on how to figure out the power issues.

Also, is anyone aware of another PS that will use standard ATX mounting/connections and provide better specs than the Enermax ??

Flame me for being TEC ignorant.. but answer the questions first !! (hahah)

Thanks much.
