I'm new to peltier overclocking so please bear with me....

I recently bought a Enermax 550W ATX PSU, I've heard it is only capable of delivering 12V but I've also heard there is a way to hook up two PSU together (I have an extra 300W ATX PSU) in order to get the needed 24V.

I've seen several how-to's on this subject, but none mentioned how to do so in such a way that both PSUs were able to be turned on at the same time through the power on button.

Also, I was wondering if it would be okay if I used the 550W PSU to power my motherboard and fans for the radiator (I'm using the low-flow restriction radiator from DangerDen that you can fit 3 93mm fans across) as well as one of 120W pelts, and the 300W PSU to power the other 120W pelt (or will the voltage/watts automatically be shared between the two when they are wired together?).

Help would be greatly appreciated.
