Ok given that they are 15.1 volts then the number of amps they are going to pull maximum taking the 220 watt tec: 220watt/15.1 volts = 14.56amps. Ok well thats all fine and dandy most people think since I have a 40 amp psu, but in actuality whats going to happen: take the calculated tec amperage of 14.56 and pop it back into the power equation: P=IV...... P=(14.56 amps)*(my 13.2 volt supply)....P= 192.19 watts. So that would be the maximum value the 220 watt tec is actaully able to do. If there is a such thing as a 12 or 13 volt tec with plus 200 watt rating that would be cool.

~Cheers
