if your psu isnt enough build a plexi pedistool relocate a rad in there and slap a second psu in there

Your TEC for stock settings if fine. At stock settings your CPU will produce 130W of heat and your 138.6W TEC will be able to handle that load. If you start overclocking your CPU, you increase the heat load created and will no doubt be going well over your TEC's 138.6 W rating. I found the perfect thread for you, because it was started by me and with the help of Lehpron, explains everything. From the size of TEC needed, to the amount of cooling provided and cooling need to cool the TEC's. Check this out, i know it will help you out, but it is quite a bit of reading. http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=1564194

I did read that post. It has formulas in it I used a calculator and it says with the overclock I have on it, my CPU does about 181 watts. I did get a 2nd TEC but my power-supply would be short of the load. I may have to buy one of those power supplies you can install in the drive-bays later down the road when I have more money. I also thought since the two tec's would be so op on the cpu, I could use a light dimmer from Lowe's or something to control how much power they get and fine tun it to as cold as it can get before my PSU shuts off The parts should be here in a few weeks. I bought some nice 40x40x10mm copper water blocks on ebay for real cheap. They are unfortunately coming from China so that will be a while. I may be back with more questions or pictures of this Frankenstein cooler when it's done

One question, if you are planning on controlling the voltage via a light switch dimmer, why are you going with 2 smaller TEC's instead of one powerful one? Also if you hook up 2 TEC's in series and use a 24v power supply you will draw the same amount of current as if you had only 1 TEC connected and they will both receive the same amount of voltage.

A total lack of planning. I had originally planned on having just one to supplement the cooling system. Then I just got excited. It is a very good idea to put them in series on 24v. I hadn't thought of that. I did see some power supplies that would fit the bill. I will do more research on that

It's all done (until I modify it again) Here are some pictures of what I slapped together

I added the hydro copper block & back plate to my video card. I runabout +4 cel over room temp at idle and +10 cel under load. I am using a Phobya 120mm radiator and cougar super quite fan to cool it.
