    How to wire these TECS

    They came with just 2 wires with some insulation cut off at the end. I thought they would come with power supply plugs, but they didn't. Someone know what to do with these 2 wires?

    if you are just gonna to use your power supply to run the TEC, wire the red wire from the TEC to the yellow wire from the PSU(that feed it 12v) and wire the black wire from the TEC to the black wire that is next to the yellow wire...

    u could buy a AC to DC converter, but I think you don't wanna pay about $400 for one. pick up a couple cheap AT power supplies. they don't need a MB to turn on!
    whatever

    I've got some 4 pin converters that I bought to wire some fans with 3 pins to the PSU. If I rip those connections out (not using them of course) would that work?

    OC Addict...

    I need 2 of those 4 pin to 3 pin adapters for fans. Looking to sell any?

    You could use the Molex off one of those to wire your pelt.

    Salt, I wired these TECS to a female molex connection only to find out that the power supply uses female also Why did you tell me female? Now I have to order new molex connectors and rewire everything!
