I have just finish modify a second 250w ATX power supply and install it in
my full tower case.Use to power the fan and the peltier. I use the
multitester to check the 12v and I get only 10.78v ? Than I put in the 1ohm
25w resistor to the 5v and it can stabilize at 12.38v. But the resistor get
very very hot. (it hot till u can't touch) Scare the wire will melt so i
takeout the resistor and let it run at 10.78v.
    Somebody have any idea how to stabilize the 12v ? Is the resistor ohm
wrong ?

I'd appreciate any input :
