Where are you getting a 540w TEC?! How big is it?

No one can tell you want PSU to use without knowing:
What's the maximum voltage?
What will be the voltage you will be running it at?

A guy with one of these TEC's but air cooled got the best results at 12 volts cooling his quad

I have the FRozen CPU one and i got the best results at about 16 volts i think
