Default What forum for Peltiers?

Hey guys I was just wondering if there is a better forum for asking peltier
questions? I have another problem. I hooked up and tried both peltiers
independantly, the power supply I used was an Antec True Power 480. Which
should have enough power to run 1 peltier. What I did was clipped a spare
molex power add on cable I had and spliced the peltier in. I hooked the
yellow wire (12V) to the positive side, and one of the black (ground) wires
to the negative side I jumpered the ATX connector to turn on the PSU. Well
both my peltiers did the same thing, they get EXTREMELY hot on the hot side,
but the side that is supposed to cool got about 5 degrees F, less than room
tempature. So I let one run for 6 hours thinking maybe it just needed time
to warm up? Oh and yes I did have a heatsink on them, it is one made
specifically for this peltier. Any ideas?

-TIA
Chris
