is it 13.2v or 13.8v?? also could it be modded to go higher on the voltage? yes I know you loose amps, but i was wondering about these two questions.

Max voltage is 13.2v.

It is not recommended to mod this PSU. Although I have not tried this myself, I know of others who have tried with less than adequate results (amperage really takes a serious hit).

You'd do better to buy another PSU if your looking for more voltage.

If you are running a basic water cooling system, the meanwell is all you would need to support a 226wTEC...even at 13.2v. This is the sweet spot most 226w units run at. More voltage does produce colder temps...but the TEC reaches diminishing returns much above 13.5v and kicks a ton of additional heat with limited returns. However, if you have a monster water cooling system to handle the extreme heat, a 15v PSU would be best.
