here is the specs for the built in TEC

Thermoelectric module data, and requirements:
Module hot side is directly submersed into the coolant for optimal heat dissipation.
Power Supply Requirements: minimum 7.5A at 12 volts
Specifications:
L40xW40xH3.5mm
Qmax: 80.3 w
Imax: 8 amps
Umax: 15.2 v

right now im running it on an extra 300w generic psu (11amps on the 12v line) and it is working fine... only i'd like to get this for it

i can either get the 12v @ 12.5amps
or the 15v @ 10amps

im worried that if i get the 15v @ 10amps it will push the TEC to hard???

Quetion #2... can i use one of those relay kits to turn on the dedicated psu ? (one for pump one for the psu)? the relay from swiftec says it rated for 12v 16amp i think... does that mean i can only use it with a 12v psu? (which would mean i must go with the 12v @ 12.5amps psu)

btw, right now my temps on the back of the 9700Pro core are ~1.5C idle, and 14C full load looping 3dmark Nature (9c gaming)
