True that is not...
I spoke to the guy from TEDIST today on the phone... The pelt i'm looking at has the following specs...
VMAX = 8.9v
IMAX = 16.1A
QMAX = 87W

Anyhow, the guys from TEDIST said that on a 5v line, this particular TEC would take anywhere from 12 - 14 amps of current and run anywhere from 60 - 70 watts . In other words, my chiller would be from 180 - 210 watts... That's a minimum of 36 amps to a max of 42... My psu can put out 44 amps on the 5v line, but to be safe, i'll put the third one on my other psu... Its all good
