If I were to run this for a 12V 92W peltier, will it over amp the peltier, or will it give the 92W even though this PSU is able to produce more watts

Hi, I think you're a little misguided about amperage. Let me try to explain. The current that a device draws is determined by the device not the supply. You can have a 12v 500 amp supply yet the device will only draw what it is designed to or needed. In your situation your Pelitier device would draw approx 7-8 amps maybe a little more when first turned on(Surge Current) regardless of how overkill your supply is. What your concern should be is the supply have enough power to drive your device and always a little extra(headroom) & this supply does indeed have that. Also always be sure to use wiring that is heavy enough to carry the load and use circuit protection as necessary. In this case it could be anywhere between 18 - 10AWG depending on length & anything else you may be powering in conjunction with the Peltier device. Take into consideration that even though this supply has built in protection, it may not trip until high currents are reached therefore consider using inline fuse protection to the peltier. Hope this helps & feel free to ask anymore questions if needed. Also use care with these types of supplies since the 120v terminals can easily be accidently touched!

Your peltier will only 'draw' as much power from the PSU as it needs to function. The power supply will exhibit a 12V potential across the positive and negative terminals (across the peltier), however it's not "force-feeding" any current. Your 92W peltier will only 'allow' 7.6A to flow through it, for a supplied 12V from the PSU (P = I x V, I = P/V = 92W/12V). By the same principle, this is a 360W (maximum) power supply (12V x 30A). If all the current were passing through to the device, everyone would fry all their electronics. I hope this was helpful(:

This is not a good psu. Buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEJZ1N4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Just barely. The sticker on it said the max amperage is 17.4 amps x 115 volts = 2001watts. I would go with a larger unit so you don't burn something out. I run with a 3500 and it does good but you have to be carfull not to run any other high power appliance with it.

Depending on what else you have, and if you over clocking your CPU or the GPU it won't work. 750W is your best bet. I'm stuck in the same boat as you cause I'm trying to buy two but it won't work but I'm not trying to buy another PS

I think you might be pushing it with a 400W PSU. I guess it depends on the item quality. You may be just fine. Not really an answer, sorry.

This card pulls at max 75W from your PSU. That being said, PSUs cannot be measured by their rated watt output. A lot of units may be rated for 700W and 80+GOLD, but they can damage your parts and literally ignite a fire if they hit 300W. Only use quality PSUs when building a computer.

I have a 450 watt psu from cooler master. If youwant to be sasafe about get a 500-650 psu

You may try it, although 300W is on a low side and it may force you to go to 450-500W power supply for any further upgrades you may have in mind. I put it in the system with 650W and it works great.

Fine then buy a 350W when it doesn't work you know what to buy. I've been building my own systems for 15 years and building with a higher power PSU is the surest way to reduce heat in your systems and reduce problems. Do whatever you want, but 350W is too small.

its best to use the same model that camp with the unit. You do not want to burn any this else out. Or just make sure your volts, amps, horsepower and so on.

If you have more than one or two internal hard-drives you might want to go with the bigger wattage. I have a home server that I loaded up too many drives and the overloaded the power supply to the point it wouldn't boot.

This PSU should work great. I have been using the Season brand for over 10 years now and have had no complaints. They are a very solid brand.

Hmm... I think a 500W PSU would be ok, but are you overclocking the CPU? If so, then I would recommend checking the necessary wattage for the GPU. I'm using a 750W PSU, but I think other people have used less. I would research this further since I'm not 100% sure 500W would suffice. I'm sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.

Using a higher wattage power supply than originally supplied will cause the power supply to run cooler and last longer assuming the output voltage is correct and the same as originally supplied.

I was running one of these with an older PC Power & Cooling 430 W PS, never had an issue. If you are going to overclock it, you are going to have a tough time with two of them on anything less than an 850 watt power supply. But that has been my experience; your mileage may vary.

You're PSU must have 75 watts free to have this card run. Example, if your computer and its components run at 400 watts and you have a 500 watt PSU you could add this card and have 25 watts left over.
